Looking Back on September 2013
Yuck. Ugly game. But it did seem like my boy Walker figured something out so that’s good. I firmly believe he’s our best option at closer. Head Case is awesome…….until someone gets on base.
In the midst of UncaChuck’s wild bday celebration he took the lamp shade off long enough to check in yesterday. He noted that the pic of us was the same day Unca and San Dawg discovered their kids were dating. That still qualifies as the wildest coincidence I’ve ever seen in my life. Two kids who grew up in totally different areas of California, with two dads who had never met, start dating only to find out that their dads, randomly, are two Flap hall of famers. It’s impossible to put into words how surreal that moment was at the time.
Agree, I wasn’t there but that is amazing. We all probably have “small world” stories, but this one Flaps high above most.
Yeah wild coincidence. Hope Unc had fun yesterday…was great to hang with both he and SD at 2019 ballgame. Does appear Walker ironed something out–he said it was length of stride, at least for publication. Didn’t see game but followed along throughout and V was pretty good for most part, R Rod got in there and extended scoreless streak plus Walker shut down inning.
Lot of confusion over Lee AB, none of which he understood even afterwards. He is far and away Giants best hitter, so taking any AB away from him really sucks.
Hopefully bats wake up as weather should be little nicer today. Still amazed to see temps in NYC and Jersey warmer than Bay Area.
Thanks for the b-day wishes. Crazy thing is, the Dodgers, Padres and Giants all combined to score zero runs yesterday. Weird weather. Weird times.
Happy belated birthday, Chuck. What’s the damage now? 63?
64
Songs like this steered me away from the Beatles . . . lol
all of their songs steered me away from them
Hah!
Browns take Shedeur in 5th #144.
Did Deion play for Reds vs. Giants at Stick? Barely remember his time with Giants.
1994, after Braves traded him to Reds. Remember him leading off and playing CF…looks like 2 games early August vs. Giants at Stick.
Saw him when he was with the Braves at that crazy game where all those baseballs were thrown out of the stands, the umps almost forfeited that game. Dion took a beer to the face, but he signed a ball for a kid to chill out the fans. I think we came back from 5 runs down two or three times to win it.
I remember a game when he was playing for us and he hit a 2 or 3 hopper to 1st and almost beat it out.
I went to Giants-Reds at Candlestick in ’97 and Sanders hit a leadoff HR off Pat Rapp, it didn’t get better from there.
Awwwright! 2 pitches = one out, so far so good. Let’s keep that pace, or close to it
so much for that idea.
Pete Alonzo would have sure looked good at 1st.
@ $30 million? he has player option for $24 mil next year or opts out…which I thought you hated.
Not with Eldridge on his way up. Wade is doing nothing at 1st.
Ahmed last year with Giants.

Hey, a double instead of a double play! Wasn’t expecting that from Huff.
WYF is matty telling huff?
Runs! Tie game!
There you go.
Finally! Koss and Huff get rally started yeow.
Koss finally scores, must not be used to baserunning.
What’s that, our first runs in 14 innings? Long time coming.
Solid game by Ray today.
Yes, glad they left him in for that last out.
Yes, seemed to get stronger as game wore on.
walker coming back strong and getting out of that mess was HUGE!
Thinking walkoff. Seems like we have not hit a homer in a month:)
You thought right, dude!
YES!!!
Way to go GIANTS!

Gotta love it!
Bailey walkoff!
