oh my!
Ho ho ho…I feel this one all the way down in my PLUMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look, this Dubs win ranks right up there with the all time best in the franchise. And the Giants are winning right now too. This is shaping up to be one best nights inbay area history! Finish it off let’s go!!!!
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Dodgers having Tyler Rogers inning.
Kuip sure is screaming a lot…
Joc comes through!
And Joc burned Roberts big time.
Atta kid, Joc!
Old school.
Ruf comes through!
I bet he loved doing that against LA.
Fucking great, there goes the ace.
Huge win for the Dubs! They need one good game from Draymond. Win game 5 and maybe a big night from Game 6 Klay to finish it off!
That looked like a hammy.
On Ruf’s HR to dead-pull left, did Kuiper really say “High drive to right!”? ……
Yes. Maybe he was looking at the game in a mirror…
McGee is throwing harder than earlier in the year.
Junis left hammy strain, Longoria hammy tightness.
Bozo and Kat, I just saw your replies to my question about retirement. Appreciate the input, guys.
No prob LJ, I think Winder and Willie had it right, do what you feel is right for you. Good luck to ya with whatever your decision is.
Your welcome LJ.. And like what Bozo said go with your gut down the road!
That is gone.
Old guys fired up tonight. Be great if Ruf got going.
Ruf Ruf!
Stomp their fuckin guts out!
And there we are.
Good night all around.
Jekyll and Hyde indeed. Great game and a Bay Area double dip with Warriors also winning a huge game.
No errors. Four shutout innings by the bullpen. And runs — 7 of ’em. All against the Bums. Who were these Giants tonight?
Putting it to the Bums and the Celtics truly makes for a great night!!
POTD
Only drag for Giants were the injuries.
Junis has lowest ERA of starters at 2.63, also lowest WHIP at less than 1.0 Given up fewest hits and walks.
Longoria, if sidelined, likely means Estrada (or maybe Flores) has to cover 3b=more of Walton who is 1-17 (9-53 with 1 BB all season) and has OB of .185 Hasn’t done much since early hot streak with all the doubles.
VIllar is tearing up AAA.
He ain’t on the 40-man tho.
Lot of interesting things going on in Warriors emphatic 4th quarter run (28-19). Kerr sat Green for 4 minutes while GS went on 11-3 run that turned close game in their favor as they went with 3 guards (including Payton at times) plus Wiggins (17 points 16 boards) and Looney (3 hoops 11 boards).
Green had 9 boards and 4 steals, but only 1 hoop all night. Played 33 minutes, 8 less than other starters beside Porter Jr.
GS thrashed Celts on boards (55-42 total, 16-11 offense) and made their 2s (25-48) while Celts did not (19-47) with each team making 15 3s. 43 for Steph vs. 23 for Tatum, who went 8-23 from floor with game high 6 turnovers. 11 hoops off bench for GS (which didn’t get much from starting Porter Jr) vs only 5 from Celts.
Every game has been different, so next ones might be as well.
Green 1-7, and the few shots I saw him take it looked like he had no confidence in his shot. But he still came up with maybe the game’s biggest sequence: Dubs up 3, Green offensive rebound off Thompson missed 3, and then pass to Looney for layup to put Dubs up 5 with 1:04 left.
Hope Unc Chuck and his buddies had good time at yard.
Should be little cooler today (mid 90s in south bay yesterday) but earlier 4;15 start means likely still warm for opener game.
Yeah we had a blast yesterday. Ended up watching the last 40 seconds of the dubs game under the scoreboard with about 40 people And missed Rufs bomb. We were in the bleachers and it was an amazingly warm night. In the hundreds of night games at the Stick, there was never a night that warm. Saw junks hobble off but not Longo.
Jeebus. He and Belt are forever cursed. Limp on, limp off.
That’s great you got to see Giants beat the Bums, especially for what sounds like a memorable get-together.
3 Toasts last night 🍻🍻for Chuck’s buddy Kevin .
1) for the Warriors huge win in a hostile environment.
2) for the Giants putting down the hammer on hopefully a Sweep of the Bums!
3) And 3 to Kevin, any guy that could hangout and do some lead vocals with Ronnie Montrose is a special dude and will be remembered forever in Rock Heaven..
It seems like Longoria can’t go 5 games anymore without injuring himself. I like as a player and a Giant, but it’s beyond time to move on from him. He’s just never on the field. Injuries in general have been a bugaboo for this team the past few years. Now I see even the younger Wade has suffered a setback during his rehab. Junis, their best pitcher most of the year, likely headed for the DL. It’s getting old.
Those plums sacks must feel extra special today BF.,
Are you talking just about him LJ are his tag team partner in injuries Belt as well?
Yeah Junis who has been their best pitcher , that one stings a lot. Good chance Lurch will take his spot are Long for awhile.They should just have a Medics tent set up in the clubhouse full time I’m sure it would be an overflow of players using it..
Yeah, All the Montrose talk was fun. Got to meet Ronnie for Kevin’s 50th b-day party in SF where Ronnie announced that Kevin would be the lead singer. Talked to him about the early days in SF (he hitchhiked from Denver as a 17 year old and ran into Baz Skaggs, RIck Derringer, and started getting known. with them. Really nice down-to-earth guy. I couldn’t say enough how their first album was simply a masterpiece. It was the blueprint for power-trio hard rock for the rest of the decade.
In between bouts of cancer, Kevin sang with him for about a year. Near the end of 2011, a week before they were gonna tour Europe, he fired Kevin and re-hired his old singer. 2 months later he took his own life.
This is from the Fox Theater in Redwood City in 2011.
There’s a celebration of life today and a tribute concert at the Tempest tonight.
Sorry for your loss Unca.
Way back in the early 80s I was able to take some drum lessons from the great Tony Williams. I still have some LPs that Tony recorded with Montrose, great stuff. I’ll have to check out some of the stuff Montrose did with your friend Kevin.
Say Chuck are any other heavy rock and rollers..
Do any of you have that final tribute album 10 by10? Ronnie sadly couldn’t finish but Heavy Hitters like Winters,Hagar,Derringer,Shaw,Rollie,Bonammas (sp) Trower a real close friend of Ronnie and more studs I can’t think of laid down 10 tribute songs hence the album 10 artist 10 songs..Just curious but I bet it’s awesome..
Saw tepees right before COVID in Petaluma. Mystic theater. Super loud but very cool
Teepee’s might of been good if you were high on peyote..
Trower
Fucking autocorrect
And motrose’s first drummer Denny carmassi lived down the street from us in San Mateo.
Omg that was incredible Bozo, thanks for cueing that one up!
Power guitar work by Ronnie,he really was incredible, great drum work as well!!!
Tony is at the top of my list of favorite drummers, he was amazing. He joined Miles Davis when he was 17 and pretty much started the jazz fusion thing with his band Lifetime.
Don’t have that but I’ll check it out
One of my very 1st concerts was the original Journey with Neil Schon ( went to Aragon High) blazing his outstanding guitar 🎸riffs at the San Mateo Fairgrounds.There 1st album wasn’t even released yet, and I’m sure they’re were many that really hadn’t heard of them.After that night everyone New Journey was the real deal.. they were incredible! It was Greg Rollie on keyboards and vocals back then..
Slush says Ramos back up/Junis to 15 day IL.
Also says, ” Belt is doing some jogging on the field. And now some side to side work.” 5 minutes ago.
Um, Urias is SP today, and Opie is supposed to go tomorrow, right?
Opie and Belt don’t mix too well.
Irad comes through with Mo Donegal. Britney Eurton stunning.
Texted Flavor that I didn’t like her hat.
He wasn’t having it.
Flavor hit the Belmont cold.
Dude is an amazing handicapper and smart bettor…
Ha. Iiked the highlights on top. Good for him, as you say amazing handicapper.
Longo out again, day to day? Hammy.
Might as well wear “Fragile” on his uni…
Wouldn’t it be wise to completely bubble wrap Longo&Belt and let them float around in the jacuzzi?
Kuiper was right about Buehler last night. Buehler was hurt. He went on the injured list today.
Fox game today, so lots of stupid in-game interviews today. What fans even like those things? I’m sure the percentage is low.
I’m waiting for the in-game moment when a mic’d up outfielder crashes into the wall and knocks himself out ..
Someday Kershaw will no longer be on the Dodgers. That will happen someday in the future.
Hanging breaking balls today.
Saw this in an article about Gausman today, about him possibly tipping pitches:
“Whether Gausman was tipping against the Minnesota Twins last weekend is hard to say with full confidence. If he was tipping, the Twins would keep that information to themselves.”
It was kind of weird how teams seemed to suddenly figure him out in the second half of last season.
Longoria pulled his hamstring running to first base yesterday; maybe the Giants should have stationary bikes in the dugout, and encourage players to keep their legs loose when the Giants are batting.
Estrada!
ROY with an RBI.
Estrada doing it all.
At the end of the inning, Kershaw was lobbying the umpire for a bigger strike zone. He’s all “Dude, I’m Kershaw! I want my big strike zone!”
Watching Rogers pitch is baseball torture.
The ump blew strike three against Bellinger. Umps blow the strike on that riser sometimes.
Lulz- the at’em ball! Out of the inning.
first 2 pitches OK but Kap asking Casali to try it with 2 strikes after 2 fails, no.
The worst bunt attempts I’ve ever seen from a major leaguer.
Why was Casali still trying to bunt with 2 strikes?
Ump blows a strike from Rogers to Betts. Adds to the torture.
Leadoff walk, what could possibly go wrong now?
Jarlin and the D!
Haha Jarlin shuts door.
At break before he came in, switched to Rangers game as Stamkos broke scoreless tie. Innocent looking shot that eluded Shesterkin.
Yeah, I’m watching both, went out of room during pitching change and missed the goal.
Couldn’t go two straight games without an error.
willie’s 5:06.
Including booting plays that are killers.
Giants D is just atrocious…
rough couple days for him that’s for sure.
what a comeback by Doval.
Quite possibly Doval’s first real defining moment as a Giant.
Wow.
Wow.
WP!
Whoa Rangers tie it .
And Tampa retakes lead 21 seconds later on bounce off player’s pants into goal.
Some less-than-stellar umping worked in the Giants’ favor in that half-inning.
Whew. A very tough win.
Estrada gets last one. Wow what a battle.
That was an epic playoff-type game.
I’ve always called this Linda’s headlights album…
Former Dodger Steve Sax’ son, Capt. John Sax, was one of the 5 Marines tragically killed in aircraft crash in SoCal a few days ago. https://abcnews.go.com/US/son-mlb-player-steve-sax-marines-killed-training/story?id=85334048
This damn Osprey aircraft has always been dangerous since the get go of its deployment years ago.
Capt. Sax leaves a pregnant wife and a toddler.
As a life long Giants fan, Sax’ being a former Dodger means nothing, we’re all Americans.
I wish condolences and best wishes to Steve and his family in this very tough time…
