Shocking Win
Belt keeps hitting. Cousin Flavor keeps surprising. His arm might fall off but until it does I shall enjoy the ride…
Sunday’s are for Johnny Cueto….
Bobby Bowden and Markie Post died. Markie and I had growing up in Palo ALto and then going to Lewis and Clark in common. Plus, I loved the show Night Court. San Dawg always said my dad sounded like Bobby Bowden.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Night Court was a sneaky good show. Other NBC shows, like Cheers, got more attention, but Night Court was among its best, tucked into that very strong NBC Thursday night lineup.
Loved Night Court. That stinks. Morning games are always fun. Hope we see Good Johnny C today. Can’t get out of Wisconsin fast enough.
A blistering punk rock version of the song before punk rock existed.
Loved Chuck Berry’s comment at the time. “He played the hell out of it.” So jealous my sisters got to see Hendrix, the Doors, the Beatles, Janis. I did see Chuck Berry at the Circle Star Theater. Fun show.
I get about 5 morning games a week if you know what I mean…
Think Zumiee!!!
Where am I???
Ah, I get it now. 🙂
The US Olympic team won a blizzard of medals in the last few days.
The men’s basketball team took the gold. I read a thing that said this probably makes Green a slam dunk for the Hall of Fame. Interesting take.
The basketball HOF is different than the baseball one. The basketball HOF takes a more wholistic view of the person’s life in the sport, whereas the baseball HOF just focuses on MLB stats.
The one area where the baseball HOF expanded was when it started including Negro Leagues stars.
They’ve also begun construction on the Bowker Gang wing…
The Bowker Gang will always have a special place in our hearts.
They could also work on a Tauchman’s Misfits wing!
Players who pose as baseball players but clearly just imposters..
The hologram section.
It’s already there, Chuck…
The US women’s basketball team won the gold, but it won’t get as much attention. They’re so dominant on the world stage that it lacks drama.
Sad to hear the passing of Markie Post seems so young at 70,but the clock is ticking on all of us the day we were born.Night Court was a terrific show full of one liners with an excellent cast. She also had a role as a Bondsman in Fall Guy and played Cameron Diaz’s mother in Something about Mary along with numerous tv appearances. RIP Markie
1. Austin Slater (R) CF
2. Kris Bryant (R) LF
3. Darin Ruf (R) 1B
4. Wilmer Flores (R) 3B
5. Brandon Crawford (L) SS
6. Donovan Solano (R) 2B
7. Curt Casali (R) C
8. LaMonte Wade Jr (L) RF
9. Johnny Cueto (R)
Thairo sent down. That sux.
Yeah, I’m not sold on La Stella yet. But La Stella has a two-year contract.
And unfortunately that’s the bottom line. Z still wants to look good on his players he picked up( Tauchman not withstanding) Vet over Options win every time..
Guess there going to roll the dice with Solano being the backup SS for now..
3
At least Estrada has a good chance of being recalled in Sept.
If it came down to those 2, then I understand that. Obviously Thairo impressed and will be a part of things moving forward.
Brebbia back up (!?), Sanchez DFA.
OPS
La Stella .646
Estrada .824
Looks like they sent Sanchez out but brought back Brebbia Aisle. Wouldn’t call that an upgrade.They still had Doval,Castro,Barager to choose from etc..
I think this Giants org. like to give enough rope before making permanent decisions.
Doval won’t be coming up until he throws a pitch within the same zip code as home plate…
Longoria coming back presents another difficult roster decision. I think Dick stays, and Slater or Wade goes. Wade has been so valuable it would be tough to see him sent out until Sept. But it may be so.
Dick hasn’t really earned his spot this season, but the team brass is hopeful he’ll catch fire.
Can’t be Wade, he’s been outstanding with clutch hits.They realized how stupid it was sending him down last time, he’s here to stay now!
They just can’t get over the fact that Dick is not valuable anymore.So it might be Slater but then the outfield D suffers bigtime..I don’t know how he does it cause he’s not very big, but Slater has all of the longest HR’s on the team.
Good Stanford man. nuff said
Then on the other spectrum was Ryan Garko nuff said..
Ruf and Ready to Bomb 💣 one🚀 1 zip..
Good to see Yazzzzzzzz and Dick getting a blow.
Sure looks like the white flag line up. Up to Cueto to keep this one low acoring
Flava Flav, You piquied my interest in Markie Post comment. Here’s from Wikipedia:
Personal life
Post was married first to Stephen Knox, whom she met at Lewis & Clark College
Stephen Knox – Jake Knox. Is there a connection?
and to save you the google search, the answer is a resounding YES.
https://obits.oregonlive.com/us/obituaries/oregon/name/stephen-knox-obituary?pid=182153342
that’s crazy. So, for you Flappers that are following along, we just put together that our stoney friend from college, Jake, was the son of the guy who married Markie Post straight out of college.
I wonder if the Gyros management figure they got one from the Brewers, and that’s good enough.
Re: Estrada, he’ll be back. Dickerson has a major league deal, he hits the occasional HR, but I think this is his last season as a Giant. Defense is below average in LF, often hurt, way too streaky. If a hot rope goes into the LF corner, it seems like forever while he’s in there reading the bounce, digging it out or bobbling it…
Shocking, a sac fly !
Craw comes through…
But, of course Solano Ks with Ruf on third and one out.
One thing at a time, apparently…
Fuck.
Not feeling this one.
Didn’t feel last nights game as well until the Brewers Right fielder butchered LaStella game should of been over play.So I’m not counting them out!
Well f—k that wild pitch is not going to help!
Just cause Dick has a major league deal doesn’t mean u have to keep him. He’s easily the lowest outfielder on the totem pole with his defense, a total liability..
I agree you don’t have to keep him, but if a guy signed a MLB deal, it’s a bigger thing to release him. I have no problem seeing him go, he’s not been much of a help all season except for the occasional HR. That’s not enough with an extended lineup. Too many Ks, can’t do much on defense, bad option for PH due to Ks…
Yeah it won’t happen, I guess I’m just dreaming about adding Ramos &Davis for more firepower and speed with the defense as well..
Bases loaded no outs and u can only muster a sacrifice fly 🪰 real sad 😞
Giants looking like Keystone Kops now, giving runs away…
Belted !
At least he’s awake ! …
Belt on fire 🔥 tie game, he’s locked in!
Unreal. 4 home runs in 11 PAs for Belt.
If Belt can stay hot down the stretch, that would be huge.
Great hustle double for Crawford!
Trying to go to the right side
That works too!!!
Super PH AB by LaStella. Dude had been 0-12.
Somebody finally with a non-HR clutch hit and RBI with RISP…
What an AB by LaStella! 11 pitches then gets the RBI..
Does this mean Nrebbia is coming in?
Shit
God I hope not!
Oh it’s a ZZ Top boy Littell.
Great leadoff walk wtf 😳
Always a good start for a late inning reliever — free pass to the first batter…
Induriaring
One run lead late innings for SF is like a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs…
Especially in this dairy air.
Gulp.
Escobar on glue!!!!!
Gift out there
Whoa, moronic base running by the Brewers not to re-tag 2nd going back to 1st.
Keystone Kops moves now even. How do you make it to the majors, and make that mistake?
Thanks ! …
What a gift your a dumbshit Escobar!
Wow. Littel in the 9th.
I’m finally giving in to the reality that the Giants have to score pretty much via HRs. The conga line of hits is not going to happen a lot. Supposedly, a few weeks ago, I heard on radio that they were at 53% of their runs via HRs. Which, I thought sounded very low. It seems higher than that…
Cautiously pessimistic here.
Well it’s going to be Zach and pray they don’t Hack..
Littel ?
Fingers and toes crossed…
Hooooo. Got away with that one
Tough series, great win.
Yesssss!!! Hell of a roadie!!!!!
Littell Big Man.
you have to be of a certain age to get it
Damn.
Littell with a super quick 1-2-3 ?
I’m uncrossing the digits, it worked !
What a series win — Giants just seem to find a way to push through to victory…
Just tremendous taking the series Wow 🤩
This team just keeps getting it done in the clutch!
With that hit, La Stella seems more part of things now.
30 games over .500, Dodger and Padre bitches!
Not to sully a shiny afternoon, but I just can’t fathom DFAing Aaron Sanchez. It’s inscrutable, almost as mysterious as sending down Caleb Baragar, twice, with a microscopic ERA. He just started yesterday, and did all that was asked of him. Was Sanchez fooling around with Kapler’s wife? C’mon!
There must be more to it than that.
Like Unca says below, there are reports he refused to take a Pen position, wanted to be a starter only.
Plus, what happened to his 95+ mph fastball that he supposedly had in his show and tell before signing?
If he clears waivers, he’s back in Sack…
He has said he wouldn’t come out of the pen. He wants to start. He lasted 2 innings. And we have enough starters. Ergo, he can start in Sacto.
Thanks for the back story. Wasn’t he creditable as an SP?
14-9 since the All Star break isn’t earthshaking, but when you see we had the Cards, Astro, Dodgers, and Brew Crew in that mix, it’s a pretty strong statement to the league that this team is for real.
Radio just mentioned that Gyros went 9-4 in the recent stretch v. LA, Stros, and Brewers.
Pretty damn good…
I had the pleasure of editing this book, ‘Levon’s Man’; it’s getting rave reviews.
I’m a huge fan of Levon and also the rest of the Band.
I bet you had a ball doing that one, sounds like fun.
PK.. Aaron Sanchez barely ticks 90, he’s very hittable, they have better arms then his to use in the Organization.
Besides he still believes he should be a starter, the Giants don’t see that, and I agree.Hook on with the D-backs are some other bottom feeder to finish off your season..
They’ve already paid him the lion’s share of his $4 million essentially for nothing, so they don’t really care about the rest…
Giants back home on Tuesday hopefully means no more radio torture of Doug Greenwald announcing the games…
I wanted to like him but yeah, no.
Sarge was one of the ones who guessed the score correctly!!!
I take it he’s sfbayn8tive? Way to go Sarge!!!!
Sorry to be negative, but my interpretation is that there is an 89% chance our buddy Sarge wins nothing…
Can’t Original Fuckin Joe afford to pay off all the winners?
how right you were!
Right! We’re only talking about a party of 18 in a small banquet room! 9 winners plus their significant other.
Don’t be such a cheapskate Marty are whoever, Original Joe’s makes plenty of bank..
The stupidity just boggles the mind.
“Missouri cab company owner prohibits masked and vaccinated riders”
Just catering to their customer base.
Probably discounts on trips to the hospital…
How does this one grab you?
“Jon Stewart and Pete Davidson mark 20th anniversary of 9/11 with star-studded comedy event”
Sure, lets laugh it up.
What a fun memory 9/11 is…
Remember when the second plane hit and one newscaster said that this is “clearly a major malfunction of the Air Traffic Control System”
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA……APPLAUSE!!!
