Still Alive, Barely
Well we’ve climbed right back into the mix with that 3 game win streak and Cleveland shouldn’t offer up much resistance so let’s keep this train rolling. Ouchie Hip Cobb goes tonight.
Man, how fun was that Niner game. Just an embarrassment of riches on both sides of the ball. Can you imagine if the Giants even had the equivalent of ONE of those Niners? Who is the Giants Bosa? Aiyuk? CMC? Warner? Deebo? Kittle?
We have nobody with that type of pull on the team. Maybe Dirty Harry? In a couple of years?
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Not sure Niners adequately addressed O line problems in offseason. Purdy was under some heat as game progressed, sacks pressures blocked/deflected passes yada yada.
One of best blocks all day was the one Aiyuk put on #23, flattening him as McCaffrey ran by.
Surprised SeaChickens went down. Rams next up, right?
Seattle and NY Giants, both underwhelmed yesterday. Seattle was supposed to handle the Rams they looked awful and the stupid “12’s” were an afterthought
Saying NYG underwhelmed is putting it kindly, that was an all-time shitshow Gonna be easy pickings for Niners a week from Thursday.
Lots of offseason hyped teams fell on their faces. Seattle, Cincy, Pittsburgh, KC, and the Vikings to name a few. It’s a long season, but Cleveland stomped Cincy, and the Rams crushed Seattle at home. ANd KC looked out of sync without Kelce.
Just goes to show preseason football doesn’t me squat, as commentators were mentioning how well Pittsburgh looked and the 49ers could have their hands full ..lol
Offense clicking with CMC,Aiyuk,Purdy spot on throws and the Defense led by Warner he was a savage that truck job pancake hit on Najee left him woozy as even the Steelers fans were in shock!
Shout-out to the new kid..FG Kicker Jake Moody who after missing last game with a quad injury having the 49ers wondering wtf for the opener, drills 3 perfect FG’s maybe he had a mood ring on for extra luck..
I worked at a lumber yard/wooden container factory in Watsonville for a while, after running low on cash, and all forty or so guys there were sports fanatics. Someone organized a coarse nfl pool, $5 to enter (about the hourly wage), winner take all. I studied the mags lying around the break room but, week one, failed totally. Quick check of the winner’s form showed that he’d done nothing but pick the underdogs to cover. He missed one.
You know a guy named Greg Cramblett? He ended up running Sir Froggy’s in Soquell for a long time. He worked at Watsonville lumber back in the late 70s. Mighta been Scott’s Valley though.
No. I was there a while, summer 78 to early 79; don’t remember the name of anyone. Oddly, the place had one of the nicest pool tables I’ve ever shot a game on. Forklift guys were good. Hand eye. But the Japanese American guy who drove the company’s bigrig was astonishing. Backing that long flatbed trailer into narrow alleys was good practice, apparently.
Behind here. Who the fuck is “Dirty Harry???”
Kyle Harrison.
Mostly a’s but good mlb general finance info too.

Xoot, it was Scarborough Lumber in Scott’s Valley. Nvrmnd.
He would’ve remembered the big rig driver.
Prolly, but Greg is long gone. You ever hit Sir Froggy’s? They had a real lousy pool table!
Great free food nights, tho.
Naw. Didn’t spend much time in Soquel. Although I did help a guy build a hillside house there, off Hardin. Cash pay was pretty good.
Yeah, did some under the table work down there myself when I moved back here from Colo. Funny, the only old haunt left down there is the Med. Used to be a bunch of killer bars in Aptos, RioDel Mar, and Capitola.
I generally hit the clubs with live music downtown. Pre earthquake downtown. Place in the old sash mill too.
What was it? Cooper House? The jazz enesmble that would play out there in the courtyard? Shit was cool. Spend many a day out there.
Big brick Cooper house with daytime jazz, crumbled in 89. Catalyst, moes alley (or its predecessor) and that place at the sash mill, name I can’t recall. Kuumbwa also, at the edge of downtown.
Oy, disappointing year all around for Guardians who made some noise last season winning 92 games. Currently sitting on 68-76. Need a new manager too as Francona retiring.
They traded away Nolan Jones to Rox in offseason for SS in AA ball.
They traded away Will Benson to Reds for couple minor prospects.
This on a team that is dead last AL for HRs, 13th in runs and slash line rankings 10-13-12.
Reading through some blog posts in TA, lot of complaints of “punchless” offense.
Pitching 5-6 AL for ERA and runs, but lot of health issues.
Guards caught the bad part of half year with Josh Bell, kinda like Padres last year. Signed him to $16 mil deal in offseason and through 97 games he had .701 OPS with 11 HRs and slugging .383.
Traded him away to Marlins, and in 35 games there he has 9 HRs .855 OPS and .515 slugging.
Thought Bell woulda been a nice addition for us. NL guy I guess.
After slow start in August, Matos is 8-16 in September. Since August now 20-69 with 7 doubles.
Zach Wilson show. Good luck with that.
Wow. Rodgers out on the 1st possession?
Ankle injury. Out for the rest of the game.
Longo RBI single puts AZ up 1-0 vs. Mets, now 2-0.
Julio Urias locker removed for Kolten Wong..
Wonder if it’s shipped to the landfill next to Trevor Bauer’s??
Mets take 3-2 lead!
Yaz leadoff bomb!
Stay hot Yaz. Power stroke coming back.
Way to lead it off, Yaz.
Cobb’s hurt. Wtf?
And the Craw E burns ’em.
Alright, got the lead back.
D-Backs tied at 3 in 8th.
Missed the lead run. Can’t rewind Streameast. Got the Cleveland announcers too. Goofy fucks they are.
Cobb’s pitching. He isn’t hurt.
Sure he is. He’s in pain right now. Earlier Kap and the trainer were out.
Fuck, AZ takes 4-3 lead in 9th.
Runner on second, no out, 2-1 count on Estrada, he gets a pitch on the low outside corner of the strike zone, and he PULLS the ball and doesn’t advance the runner. I don’t get it.
And K&K don’t even mention the lack of execution.
I thought it was unusually bad for Thairo, esp after he squared up a high pitch the AB before.
And the runner dies on second base, which we’ve seen a lot of this season.
Mutts strand runners on 2nd & 3rd in 9th, D-bags win.
The two game series w AZ may determine a lot.
Matos makes the play!
It’s much more fun having him on the big club than Meckler. Matos is on a learning curve, but he’s fun to watch.
Crazy fun end to the jets game!
Az scores in 8th and 9th to beat Mets. GRR
Tied it up off Trevor Gott (!) in 8th and won it in 9th.
Cubs score 2 in 9th to take the lead vs Rox:(
Go Giants!
Chiefs, Bills, Bengals, probably AFC’s top 3 teams, all lose their openers. Could be an interesting year. As for Giants, starting to look like whichever team battling for that last WC spot gets hot at the end will make it. Giants have been known to go on a roll now and then….
Walking the .176 #9 batter, what could go wrong? Fucking Brebbia.
Hell of a finish to the Jets game.
Fucking Brebbs coughs up the lead.
If Merkle was in the OF, that would have been an inside the park home run.
Tyler vs. Ramirez, that was scary.
Kap going for it, 2 PHs and both Slater and Wilmet come through.
And we just have to put the ball in play . . . and can’t.
Ooooops. Slater didn’t have to move there.
Gaaaaaaah.
Yet another 3 hit no run inning.
Our station to station hit parade is likely even more annoying than the lack of power. That we have no power and no speed is depressing
Like Aaron Rodgers Achilles it been the Giants Achilles problem all year..
Gawd, all these errors.
The Cleveland hitter had a good swing and just didn’t quite square it up.
Thank you, ump!
(But I still want electronic balls and strikes.)
Who was crying in the dugout that Bailey was consoling?
Schmitt maybe? I think maybe he got accidentally whacked in the face by something.
Good start! LFG!
Messy game. But hell. A win.
Walk-off Wade!
YES!!!!
Wow incredible comeback win!
Sabol ties it up, Sabol steals second,Sabol forces a Balk,and they pitched to Late Night Lamont with 1st bad open that was dumb as he knocks in the winner!! Cue Clint!!! Zumie!!
