One. More. Win.
“Hey Big Flavor, you excited to watch Game 5 later tonight?”
“Hell yes. Who are you?”
“I am from the future. And I’m here to tell you that tonight Steph, Green, Porter and Wiggins will go a combined 0-19 from downtown. Still wanna watch?”
“Yikes. Thank you Man From Future, you just saved me a few hours of misery….”
This is why we love sports. You just never know what is going to happen.
One thing that was painfuly clear was that Brown and Tatum, who got no rest in the second half till they were yanked for scrubs, were totally gassed. Tatum was missing everything short and both came up ant-small in the biggest game of their lives.
Two hilarious moments amid all the drama: Tatum refusing to give Green the ball into a time out and Wiggins with a thunderous dunk that landed right on White’s dumb ‘ol head.
Oh, and the Giants won again, too.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Listening to Bill Simmons on the drive in and he was again at the game and he what remarkable shape the Celtics are in and I say wtf???? Looked to me they were totally gassed as well and it is the F’n Dubs and especially Wiggins that are in unbelievable condition.
Very clever, Flavor.
You seem rejuvenated…
i can ramp up after games like that. But make no mistake I’m on fumes. Still plan on making it through the baseball season then I’m shutting her down. I have decided to keep the website up tho like some sort on online museum. And who knows, down the road, I might fire her back up–that’ll keep people coming back to check, lol
Shutting down? Say it ain’t so!
Wiggins just got himself a max deal not super max but I can’t see how we hold on to him after they give him the max deal. Think there will be teams willing to trade for him after next season. Klay and Dray both signed for the year after (Dray has a player option at $27 mill that he certainly will invoke) plus Looney will be free agent this year Poole signed for next year only and GPII probably restricted free agent. They all got to get paid and Looney especially deserves to be paid. Give him 5 years lower dollars at start and more later as a deserved thank you. Probably will need to over pay for Poole and GPII to keep them in the fold probably with the extra years and give them some future financial security.
that’s fine. Honestly, to me, this is the last run. It’s re-tool time after this.
18 turnovers for Celts, 9 steals for GS. Wiggins ability to score in paint was takeaway. Once again GS killed Celts on 2s—32-48, vs. 20-43. On night they mostly couldn’t buy one and got outrebounded and outscored at FT line, attacking rim and finishing made difference. Only 2 blocks from Celts all game. Big edge off bench with 29 combined from Poole and Payton vs. 1 point for D White.
Tiki Barber on his radio show named the Giants as a possible landing spot for Aaron Judge if he goes FA after this season.
Hilarious!
yeah because of all those other top tier free agent hitters who have come here in the past. 🙂
No shit. I believe a signing like Judge when the ink dries on the contract. Dude is having a monster year though.
50-36 edge on points in paint, without dominant big man. My hope is for some trickle down affect on younger players–have to be able to counter D taking away the 3 or days that shot is just not going in, and score consistently from midrange or at rim.
Celts after huge game 4 for Steph decided to basically tackle him in game 5, and force everybody else to win the game for the Dubs. They didn’t figure Wiggins would breakout like that. Nor that Dubs would clamp down on D, and only turnover the ball about 7 times. Payton for 15 — that’s pretty cool. That dude plays defense like a fly on S…
Ray of hope for Kings fans Mike Brown can bring some of D focus to them. As Curry said, it’s all about “effort and intensity.” Great clips from Anthony Slater in Athletic showing how Green and others (including Wiggins and Klay) sparked D that shut Celts down in 4th. There are 2 ends of the floor.
Shea said Wade Jr will head back out to rehab. Also there was story in chron from either Slush or Shea that said Bart isn’t there yet, he’s here working with Will Clark (among others) on his swing. Can only help. Clark talked about helping him cover inside pitches, and help he got from Bonds, who got same from Mays.
Bad scenario for Wade, seems like this knee is hurting more then anyone wants to admit..
Should not have been out this long, it’s a real bummer cause he adds so much to the team when he’s right.This year looks like a wasted season unfortunately for him..
All reports I read said Wade has received shots of lubricating (or shock-absorbing) gunk (well, gel) in the knee. I’ve heard of such treatment for arthritis.
Yikes, sounds like bone on bone stuff. No bueno…
June 14 1994, NY Rangers win Stanley Cup. Mark Messier with game winner over Vancouver 3-2.
Defenseman Briant Leetch was first American born winner of Conn Smythe as playoff MVP.
I swear to this day Messier never touched the puck.
He was just the closest to it when a Canuck (and ex-Ranger – John McIntyre?) knocked it in off a scramble in front.
I must be wrong cause I’ve never heard anyone say this…
Was cool to see Matt Cain in booth with K n K and all the perfecto stuff. Arias play is still chilling to watch, back steps and then has to make long throw to Belt for final out. Belt said in Athletic story from Baggs he was physically ill with nerves earlier and sat in spot on bench btw innings reserved for Cain at one point before moving, as Vogs stared daggers at him.
The Royals are fuckin 20-40.
LETS GO!
1. Austin Slater (R) CF
2. Wilmer Flores (R) 3B
3. Joc Pederson (L) LF
4. Darin Ruf (R) 1B
5. Evan Longoria (R) DH

7. Thairo Estrada (R) 2B
8. Austin Wynns (R) C
9. Luis Gonzalez (L) RF
P: Logan Webb (R)
@ djloo and williedav..My pops is from Edmonton. I was there visiting my grandma who lived in a high rise apartment in downtown. Had to get up at 4:00 am to drive to Calgary for an early flight. The noise in downtown was incredible! Horns honking and people in the streets. It was incredible and would have been awesome except for the noise that lasted all night and i got no sleep!!!
I’m confused SportsDude
Edmonton erupted when Rangers won the Cup?
@Craig..
My brother texted me this a.m…….”I had this crazy dream Curry 0/9 and only 3 other Warriors made a 3, the team shot 22% from 3, and we still won!!
Glad to not be posting after the game is over like usual!

Here is a great article about the G-men from the athletic. As a plug all sports fan should subscribe:)
Go Giants!!
Slush says Belt activated and “to be eased back into action” per Kap and Walton sent back to Sac.
Lol “ to be eased back into action”
Belt would be lucky if he could get out of a porch rocking chair faster then Walter Brennan from the “Real McCoys”
Dagnabbit!!!
I think Mr. Ed is onto Bubic’s cube…
Right for once!
Wilmet!
Wilmer wins that one.
Ruf enuff.
Am I rich enough?
I’m not too blind to see…
Gonzalez smokes a double,Mr.Ed smokes a single for a rib,Joc with the nubber and now Ruf with a triple’s alley single? As Joc holds up?Chased the kid who pitched pretty good but Giants gassed him out late..
La Spitta delivers a run…
At least the usual La Stella out accomplished something this time.
Kotter leaving him in to make up for premature yanking last time…
Got him. Nice throw by Gonzo.
Gonzo guns him down!
Who says Gonzalez can’t play defense? That throw was balls out on line and and Wynns was waiting for a runner who wasn’t even there yet!!
Boy that was a great one hop snag by Wynns at the plate to seal the deal..
Where would the Giants be without Gonzalez taking over in Wade’s slot this season!
Dude is a straight up ROY candidate..
If he didn’t have such a generic name, he’d be the talk of the league.
Much as I loved Orlando Cepeda, I think his awesome name got him in the HOF with borderline credentials…
Anyone ever give up more infield singles then Rogers?
Under My Glove…
Tyler gets a well-earned hold I guess…
Really it’s time for Kotter to apologize to the fans for even using Rodgers!
Nice non job backing up the plate too butthole..
Double snot rocket from KC pitcher.
Poor technique…
Probable MRI and fractured foot for BB9…
Captain Crutch?
That’s gotta stick!
2nd Spit fly RBI, got LaSpitty!
La Stella now with more RBI than hits this month.
At least we got 1!
Good game.
Series win!
YES!!!
Doval black shoes with connect unis looked ok. those white shoes, yuck.
It could only happen to Belt to get hit on first pitch he sees in almost a month. Day game on getaway day.
That’s what Belt deserves cracking out a yuck pair of white shoes for the first time ever.
Finished the game so I guess that’s part of easing him back in the LU?
Giants promoted SS Wil Wilson from Richmond to Sac. Also Luciano on IL with lower back issue.
First thing I thought about with Walton (.185 OB not gonna be missed) going back down, who backs up Craw? Estrada can’t play everywhere at once, and LaStella still hasn’t played in field.
Wonder if the Giants would consider bringing up David Villar who’s leading the PCL in homers(16) and RBI’s 46.
Can he play some SS? He’s listed as a 2B/3B/1B guy .Man he crushes the ball to all fields.
Wilson has experience in the bigs so that might be there thinking, either way the magical Z would have to open up a 40 man roster spot first for either guy.
Kat, Wilson is going from AA to AAA, I’m pretty sure he hasn’t made it to the Bigs yet. Maybe you’re thinking of Isan Diaz, who we got from Miami?
Going for the sweep:
RF Gonzalez
CF Yastrzemski
3B Flores
LF Pederson
DH Belt
2B Estrada
SS Crawford
1B La Stella
C Casali
LHP Long
Captain Crutch! That’s some classic Flapper nicknaming work.
Lincecum’s birthday today. 1984 was a hugely important year in Giants history. Not for how the team played that season, but because Lincecum and Cain were both born that year. Those two, of course, would combine with Bum, Posey, Romo, Affeldt, Lopez, and Castillo to be the 8 who were in all of the 3-in-5 dynasty.
I know you meant Casilla and of course didn’t mean to leave him out:
Oops, yeah, flub on my part. Thanks for the correction on that.
Is Longoria still out with a hammy or whatever the latest problem is? On IL, or day to day so we’re down a player? The guy is made of more brittle glass than Belt, if that’s possible…
Shorto sits again.
Even after Yaz screw up Long should have been out of the inning unscathed.
Shaky defense made a reappearance that inning.
Here’s the statue of Junipero Serra that looks like a certain umpire calling a strike, according to K&K.
After clicking on the link, scroll down a little.

Years ago our HS put a giant football under his finger for the big Bellarmine/Serra game. Used to happen a lot.
Lots of pop-ups are not being caught today.
Capt. Crutch!
Captain Crutch! Crutched it!!
And for all means scratch those white shoes you only hit with the blacktops!
Yeeeet! Tyler with a nice play.
I can’t believe it, a clean inning for knuckle scraping Rodgers!
There you go . . .
Guess no play is Taylor’ed made anymore.
Total hack job by Taylor not even getting leather? Embarrassing 🙈
Bunt after a leadoff double late in a tie game, how ’bout that.
Worked for KC there.
McCovey Dave racking up 2 more Splash hit balls, luckily they were foul!
Doubt that’s ever happened 2 splash hits by the same batter in one AB?
There goes the winning streak.
Ha. That’s awesome.
What a find!
Wacky packages!!! I covered my door at one point with those.
Why would you stop?
Hard to get the sweeps.
Yanks-Rays just had a 16-minute delay between pitches because of confusion over a pitching change.
