Finally!
The Grave Duggar and Posey continue to lead the team in hitting but that W doesn’t happen without The Sock Man. I’m really not sure what I would have done had we blown that game and it came within inches of The Sock Man failing. But he didn’t and we go on to win.
Baseball is a funny game.
For the collective psyche of the team last night’s win was critical. Team win.
According to facebook it’s the 11 year anni of this bad boy:

Extend his contract!
Slumping Lindor hits a bomb with the Mets up 11-1.
Man I don’t want to rest anyone tomorrow “I want Blood”
I was wondering about that, probably Buster and maybe Longo get the day off.
Or might they come to the park and tell Kotter they want in?
Fox had no decent replay to show…
Pour it on here…
Nice 3 RBI game for Dubey.
These fucking relievers.
Alvarez comes in with a 7-run lead and gets behind every batter.
Yeah nothing changes in the pen..
As Loo hates this phrase as much as me :That was center cut..
Gonna take 3 more relievers to hopefully close this out…
Fuck. Nothing easy about these fucking Dodggers. Wisling Dixuck is up next, Fucking slider boy.
Funny they don’t show Pooholes getting robbed, just the Barnes HR.
There’s the fucking hangger. Don’t throw that, Wisledick
That pitch was so bad it was good.
Center cut was something I never heard until this year and I think I heard Lopez say it. Now I’m completely tired of it as it had been said 17,000 times this season.
Buster better play tomorrow. I’ll have to go off on the facebook noodlers again.
No shot…
i saw none of this as I was busy with people but it is really outrageous that we scored this many runs off Urias. Very nice to get 2 in a row THAT’S WHAT IM TALKIN BOUT
Looks like he was just trying to level the playing field..
That is flat AWESOME! He’s got nothing on Albert Belle.
Whoop! Great game. Beat down of the bums!
Yay! Two straight at the Latrine!
That Lenny Randle video is hilarious. Old school, baby. I do miss the ’70’s.
I used to love watching Belle play, great ballplayer, but that forearm shiver was a cheap shot.
Great win for the G’s today! But the 5-run lead late never did feel all that safe to me. The bullpen remains shaky, imo, but they got it done. Webb is really starting to put it all together, which will bolster an already solid rotation. I have to wonder what kind of moves Zaidi will make to strengthen the pen.
And listening to the Dogpile homer announcers for the entire game was a real barf fest, so roughing their asses up was a great remedy for that shit. With Gausman going tomorrow, legit shot at 3 of 4. GO GIANTS!
We know now that we can beat em. That Randle video was great.
I went out to an early dinner with friends for the first time in more than a year tonight. What a blast. The month of May 2021 does not disappoint. The drought is here, I know, but in the short term . . . .
Now, settling in with diverse night caps, flipping around the snl-less dial looking for a Columbo rerun or its ilk to relax with, I come across the CW network, which I don’t believe I’ve ever before watched. It’s showing the Sacramento River Cats vs. the a’s Las Vegas AAA team. Tuned in just in time to see Joey Bart break up a perfect game with a dink hit. Joey hustled well to first and looked happy to be on the field again.
Columbo reruns FTW. I must’ve seen every one of those 5 times, but always end up watching when they’re on.
it’s a rarefied ilk
I’m rewatching the game and have to say that Webb was really impressive, especially in the 4th and 5th innings, 12 in a row retired to close out his outing. He has three legitimate pitches and his slider doesn’t get talked about all that much. It’s pretty nasty. 93-96 on the fastball with good movement and that filthy changeup. If he keeps developing and being consistent, he could end up being really good.
I thought Bickford’s name looked familiar, 2015 draft pick of the Giants.
Mark Eaton, Gavin MacLeod and B.J. Thomas all died today…
I saw the Eaton story, really sad, especially how it happened. Hadn’t heard about the others. Rough day.
Well this always cheers me up…
Most impressive thing bout that video is the guitar player’s shoes.
Gavin MacLeod was great as Donald Sutherland’s foil in Kelly’s Heroes.
Kelly’s heroes one of the best / underrated movies ever!
“Always with the negative waves, Moriarity.” One of my favorite movies of all time.
Yep. Don Rickles (Crapgame) is excellent in that movie!!!
Fucking Harry Dean Stanton is in it!
Doing the fucking LA dash today and tomorrow for my niece’s HS grad party. Hopefully I can get the game on the radio as I ruin I-5.
Randle play was great, and definitely part of old school baseball that goes back long way.
Yaz had nice bunt for hit to get on base, and then scored on HR. Seems like he is driving ball these days and getting back into it. Welcome sign…not so sure about Dickerson or Tauchman value going forward. GD at high point of his career…we’ll see how sustainable that is.
