A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

It’s Falling Apart

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on September 5, 2021

This is the headline at ESPN today.

hmmmmmm I dunno, how bout the team that doesn’t have to trot out openers in back to back games? Jeez where is our savior LOG DOG when you need him?

Sadly, Log Dog can’t pitch every game. And he can’t hit at all which is something none of our paid hitters seem to know how to do anymore.

    2 bunt singles wholly cow what’s got in to them?
    Now Casali getting into the act wtf?

    Giants had the dreaded 2nd and 3rd with no out.

  3. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on September 5, 2021 at 6:37 pm

    Sigh, revert to form in that inning.

  4. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on September 5, 2021 at 6:40 pm

    Have to add on there and it felt like a subtraction.

    If Muncy slumped the last month of the season, that would be helpful.

    He took the ball away from the fan?

      Did I see Taylor just do that?

      • alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on September 5, 2021 at 7:09 pm

        I think it might have been wedged in that stupid netting down the line Bozo..

      • Locojuan's avatar Bozo said, on September 5, 2021 at 7:17 pm

        Good call, Kat. I forgot about that net.

    K Bryant and T Turner are somewhat comparable.

    Great to see the park again last night. Game last night sucked and was made worse by SOOO many Dodger fans being there. Lets get this done!

  15. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on September 5, 2021 at 7:21 pm

    Whatever that pitch was to Pujols, it was 91 MPH.

  16. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on September 5, 2021 at 7:27 pm

    The crappy ump gave us one!

    • zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on September 5, 2021 at 7:27 pm

      He owed us.

      • zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on September 5, 2021 at 7:59 pm

        I can’t remember when I started doing it. I have missed a few wins over the years.

        The “knowing dude head nod” concept came from you.

      • xoot's avatar xoot said, on September 5, 2021 at 8:17 pm

        the knowing dude head nod was a tedspe original. he passed another guy wearing a Giants hat and they exchanged that and he posted about it on this blog.

  24. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on September 5, 2021 at 7:34 pm

    Series win, 2-1. Season series win, 10-9. First place. Absolutely amazing and astounding. Even this late in the season, these guys keep surprising me.

    Unca, I know it’s hard to believe a clown who can plead diminished capacity, but if I tell you it’s going to rain, you better bring an umbrella. May I suggest hanger steaks?

  29. gianthead's avatar gianthead said, on September 5, 2021 at 7:43 pm

    Quintana surprise performance but shows having a vet who can stay calm with shitty ump pitch calls. Cant believe we got a gimme on the Betts strikeout. Gold star to Doval as well!!! Big team win.

    Hit of the game, Duggar’s 3-bagger. Loved the intensity on his face and his “let’s go” admonishment to the dugout. A much needed spark.

  32. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on September 5, 2021 at 7:56 pm

    Taking the season series 10-9 is HUGE!!
    If they ended up tied at the end of the season game 163 for the division title would be in San Francisco….

  38. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on September 5, 2021 at 9:06 pm

    Speaking of Facebook, or social media in general, some people out there have started something they’re calling the Herm Cain Awards. They gather anti-vax social media posts of people who later died of Covid-19, and make a time-line narrative out of it.
    There’s a similar progression to the deaths of these people.
    1. They post a bunch of anti-vax and anti-mask memes, and ridicule the virus.
    2. They catch Covid and post messages about how they’re not worried about it.
    3. They get very sick, and sound very worried.
    4. Somebody else posts that the person has died, and often includes a GoFundMe link to help the person’s family.

    • zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on September 5, 2021 at 9:11 pm

      I went to the site for a little bit, and I think the main thing I took from it was seeing documented what memes the anti-vaxxers are sharing with each other on social media. They are way crazier and more bizarre than I would even have guessed.

    • snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on September 5, 2021 at 9:12 pm

      I have no empathy for these people. Not anymore, none.
      Because they don’t give a S about me and mine, nor you and yours.
      Plus, their idiocy and misinformation and/or outright lies spread on the airwaves or online no doubt has caused others to get the Covid and die…

        Uncle of mine, in his 80s, retired in a nice Tenn suburb. Got vaxed asap. His next door neighbor, an elderly African American guy, like my uncle a retired, well-educated biz exec, still hasn’t taken the jab. Try to understand that man’s fear.

    • unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on September 5, 2021 at 9:39 pm

      Shit, at some point you have to cut bait. I’m sorry, but ignorance and stupidity runs so deep that you can’t do anything to help these folks so blind to reality. Gohmert, Abbott,Trump, Green, Pence, and all the cast of clowns on the right have been vaccinated and STILL disavow it to garner support.

      Don’t wear a mask, but sure, get the monoclonal antibody treatment like Abbott did. Like Trump said, it’ll be available to everyone (in government. shhhhhh). The one not available to anyone but the elite that costs thousands. That mask? $1.99. Fuck that. They are killing their base. Should I feel bad for them? Sure, but should all these moitherfuckers in the government be held to account? Of course not. The people the ignorant masses are listening to are the agents of their demise. How do you break that grip?

      It’s really fiucking hard to garner sympathy for people being so far removed from reality that they believe the shit spewed out by their local representatives. If I talked to ANY of these people,they would shout me down and stomp my ass for the usual socialist elitist garbage fed by the right. You know, the elites.

      Sorry for the political rant, but this shit makes me furious. The longer people don;t get vaccinated, the more time the virus has to mutate.

      • unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on September 5, 2021 at 11:05 pm

        And by cut bait I’m referring to the crackers. Distrust of the medical system by minorities and the disenfranchised is a real struggle.

    Fuck Yeah! What an amazing, crazy, tortuous and redeeming game, and series/season series win!

    ALWAYS GREAT to beat the dodgers! I swear between Friday night and late today, I probably lost years off my life.

    Fuck MLB with their scheduling and having us set-up to play a day road game, tomorrow. 🖕

  42. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on September 5, 2021 at 10:23 pm

    Did anyone see the interview with Crawfish after the game? It had something to do with Crawfish washing his hair with vinegar, and how we should be 5 games behind the Dodgers?

    Can’t find it

  44. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on September 5, 2021 at 11:37 pm

    Giants are on both their own regular network and ESPN.

    The Dodgers travel to St. Louis for four games. The Cards have to do well to have a reasonable chance at the second Wild Card spot. This is the season right here for the Cards. Go Cards!

  46. willedav's avatar willedav said, on September 6, 2021 at 7:45 am

    Theme of 2021 has to be expect the unexpected. WC and pennant races very exciting. And if called up guys can help take down Buehlers of the world no sure things out there.

  47. willedav's avatar willedav said, on September 6, 2021 at 8:09 am

    Btw Dodgers will use openers in back to back games in middle of Cards series. And they are going to be without Pollock for at least a couple weeks with strained hamstring.

  48. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin said, on September 6, 2021 at 9:13 am

    The Athletic, Brisbee,

    A major difference in Sunday’s game is that the Giants were 4-for-10 with runners in scoring position, whereas they were 20-for-116 (.172) in their previous 15 games. That means there was a stretch of nearly 100 at-bats in which the Giants promised high hopes and delivered dashed hopes. It’s the sort of thing that can wear down a fan base. It can certainly wear down a clubhouse.
