Can We Beat The Worst Team In The League?
It has to this. The Giants need to beat the A’s, handily, to prove to Farhan that this flawed team he cobbled together is worthy of an add-on or two at the trade deadline next Tuesday. Speaking of “cobbling” something together, there’s no better time than now to see if Cobb can reset the direction of his season. If he can’t wipe out Oakland then I fear it’s all downhill for him the rest of this year. Same for SF.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Damn, almost off the wall.
Unlucky Luciano…
Gave it a ride.
Schmitt too
Renel’s intro a little over the top IMO…
It wasn’t Willie McCovey returning to the Giants…
Kuip just called him “Liriano”…
Kuip just called him Liriano on that groundout.
I heard it too. Kuip’s not far from the gold watch now.
If it was Laureano, does Duane get a break?
That’s probably what it was, Kuiper’s accent being what it is, and that makes it sadly embarrassing.
Yeesh, what an awful play by Matos.
Dang, giving this lead back. Junis walk just came around to score.
That and Junis sucks.
And here starts the bad news bear defense! Where the hell was Matos throwing that ball??
And now it’s tied up with Kappy’s weird bullpen moves.
If they need to make room on the roster at the expense of some of the “pitching depth,” there’s one candidate who nicely combines bad stats and a relatively small contract.
Yeah Kuiper just called Laureano Liriano on that last fly out to RF
Doesn’t it seem like all the rookies are pressing tonight?
Guess Kuiper is taking a page out of Tom Tolbert/Razor Ralph Barbaria on the radio when callers call in “It doesn’t matter what your name is”
Of course they’re good enough to make it work much of the time.
Jim Beam’s ad has a bar full of children singing Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline.
My pick for worst commercial currently on TV.
My most annoying of late is the little girl giggling at her father repeatedly getting ‘Jitterbug’ from the Wham song on the SUV’s sound system.
To me everything is a distant second to that Citizens Bank commercial…
Not sure I understand why sitting in your car starts the ignition is such a hot idea.
Slater pinch-hit tater!
Slater Tater!!
Slater always manages to do just enough to stay employed…
4 rooks starting never thought I would ever see that with the Giants..
But it’s the Vets doing the damage tonight.
The rook was always my favorite chess piece…
It’s a very stealthy but deadly piece. It patiently waits and waits, and then it can dominate the endgame.
… Light thickens,
and the crow makes wing to the rooky wood.
Good things of day begin to droop and drowse;
While night’s black agents to their preys do rouse.
Well said, Zum!
Kuip did it again, but quickly corrected himself.
He’s really struggling tonight…
I hope he doesn’t call him Ron.
There’s a commercial where a girl is mortified to discover her father used to be the lead-singer in a metal band. She tosses the picture down and stalks out of the room. What a jerk thing to do. Her father having been in a band is hecka cool, and I bet his band made better music than whatever garbage she listens to.
Yeah, never got that one either. She missed out on a lot of blow?
I would rather see Crawford stuffing the stats sheets then stuffing his face in his cheesesteak commercial..
Walmart using Wipeout.
Rookie insurance.
Luke Jackson’s career record is 17-6…
The vulture!
Put it in the win column.
Two in a row! Thank god for the A’s.
Victory! And picking up a game on the whole division extra special with a much needed dayoff tomorrow!
Simple facts.
Mick Jagger turned 80 today.
When you’re old,
When you’re old, nobody will know…
Sinéad O’Connor RIP
Did she ever smile?
I tried posting a photo.
Meanwhile, the next 40/40 just keeps training.
Nice we finally got some wins! And against a lousy team to boot!
And just like that, the Giants occupy the top wild card spot again.
