Just Waste These Fools
Look, this is very doable. They’ve lost 6 in a row. They have injured hitters and pitchers. It’s in our yard. And, most importantly, Hubie Doobie isn’t going to any of these games.
Some of you may have seen Lee Elia passed away. Here’s that epic rant from the 80s if you want to listen to someone go off. He sure doesn’t like that 15% “who don’t work.” Lol.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
how does this dude find all 13 of those pitches?

Phils fans in TA were livid about Chapman AB, “strike 5” non calls. Phil Cuzzi apparently burned them years ago too.
The guy should work for NASA or something. My head is exploding…
That was a FUCKING AWESOME RANT!!
85% of Chicago works the other 15% Fucking People come to Cubs game!🤣😂🤣😂
You want someone to Fucking Blame ,Blame me that were 5-14 not The Fucking players!!
Man I swear I miss the old days passion,Weaver,Martin,Pinella,Elias,others blowing their tops,a good brawl on occasion (Marichal &Rosboro)getting drilled And charging the mound days are long gone in pussy baseball/clock saving time today.that I get) but a great Donnybrook as fan value as well..
back in the day with all those day games, shit, he was probably absolutely correct.
But why get mad at the people who show up? It’s like in NY where the same 1,200 people come to the track every day and are treated like a nuisance…
That audio clip of Elia never fails to make me laugh. Elia didn’t last the season as Cubs finished 71-91. His successor? Charlie Fox.
Yeah Charlie Fox (known as the Silver Fox managed the Giants for 5 seasons winning the pennant in 1971 in Chris Speier’s rookie season! Thought they had a good chance to go to the W/S but Pirates had other plans and I still remember Bob Robertson crushing HR’s that killed them .Turned out to Roberto Clemente last season as he died in a plane crash a few months after the season
Having to use Marichal on the last day of the season to hold off the Dodgers didn’t help.
I went to game 1 of that series and thought we were on our way to the World Series.
Clemente played in 72 Kat. Here’s his last game. It’s as if he came in just to say goodbye.
I wonder if he was planning to retire…

Thanks Loo, love these. Clemente at age 38 still hitting .312. Al Oliver in CF?
there was note in TA column about guys who homered off 2 HOFers in same game. Billy Williams did it at Wrigley vs. Giants in July 1967, off Marichal in first and Perry in 9th (why he was in there for save idk) who was brought in to save game and instead blew it on hit by Randy Hundley. Hart was in LF that day for SF.
My bad,Thanks Loo ,hate to put a legend like Clemente in his grave before his time..
Well the Pirates hosted the ’72 NLCS so I guess he wasn’t saying goodbye. IDK…
That rant was the best, made my morning. Fuck the Phils, I’m glad we paid an ump more than them.
Dodgers tonight, and I have bye, bye baby stuck in my head, gotta be a good sign.
Clyde King was was the first manager I noticed as a kid growing up. I vividly remember listening to the Giants game vs the Padres in mom’s Galaxie convertible on the way to Santa Cruz that the Giants lost 17-16 in 15 innings.
Giants were down 2 in the 9th and tied it at like 12-12. Went back and forth till the Pads won in the 15th.
King was fired and Fox was hired after that game.
The Giants finally winning the WS in 2010 might have been too much for Clyde. He passed away the following day…
lol!!! He got to see it tho!!!
Good memory, Chuck…
https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SFN/SFN197005230.shtml
Loved that drive from San Mateo to Santa Cruz. That day for some reason stuck in my brain.
Epic fail disaster of a game. With all the hitters btw both teams the light hitting SS gets the bomb that wins it. Same Clyde King that helped Yanks later, right?
yup
Wow. 14 all tie in the 9th. Marichal had a bad dey.
Crazy game. I thought there was a lot more scoring in extras.
started going down the winding road of baseball reference. Started at Al Oliver and when I got to Fred Breining (easily the goofiest looking fuck not named Johnny Lemaster) I saw he won 22 games for us across 2 seasons and then pitched 4 games for the Expos the next year and then that was it. Career over. 28 years old. What happened to him that it ended so fast?
Loved Breining and I won’t bring up10/1/82 for the 40th time here. He had some kind of arm injury that they could probably fix nowadays…
I’ll never forgive Al Oliver for hitting ZERO bombs in 360 PAs as a Giant. How was that even possible? Pull the fucking ball to RF!
Yeah I remember that year. Still can’t believe he was CF earlier. winding road of B/R, yeah easy to get stuck there. Transactions usually fun trip on whomever you look up. plus all those boxscores of guys you remember.
James… I’ll never forget Randy Winn in 2009 in 538 PA (597 overall)he hit 2 HR’s and that was late in the season!Screaming for Schierholtz to take over in RF but of course Bochy stays with his Vet as always.Nate did hit 5 HR’s that same season,so double up on Winn in 285 PA..
Yeah I remember AL Oliver’s season he was already washed up at 37 when the Giants got him, but still “PULL The Ball” 0HR’s pathetic..
From Wiki: His career was cut short when pitching to Ray Knight, when he fielded a bunt and threw it to first, only to blow out his shoulder. Breining never played another inning as a Major Leaguer
The big unit’s career ended on a bunt.
goddamn, not only did Al Oliver not hit a single bomb in 360 at bats with us he had 100 at bats with the Phillies that year too and didn’t hit a bomb. He had 219 for his career.
Speaking of non power 1b, Giants got Willie Montanez from Phils for Garry Maddox in 1975 who spent 10 years there and won WS in 1980. After parts of 2 years, Montanez was traded to Braves for Darrell Evans, wonderful ballplayer.
Adames quietly finally hitting. .520 slugging in last 25 games. Time for Devers!! We need to blow these guys out tonight!
Rennie Stennett was the one that pissed me off. A real nothingburger.
And I was pissed we let BIll Madlock go to the Pirates for their WS run.
Huh. We got Ed Whitson, Al Holland, and . . . Fred Breining! for Madlock. Ooops.
I seem to remember Whitson and Holland being OK but I’d have to look.
Forgot that we GOT Madlock for Bobby Murcer.
Holland was OK for Giants under Frank Robinson, but Giants had Lavelle and Moon Boy. He and Morgan wound up in the trade for Krukow and Mark Davis with Phils, and wound up being their closer for couple years per SABR bio. Phils lost WS in 1983 to O’s.
In this 83 Giants game, in the ninth the Phillies loaded the bases with two outs and Joe Morgan on deck, and the Philly manager PH for Morgan with RH hitting Ozzie Virgil. Lavelle was pitching. I still remember the explosive tantrum Morgan threw as he charged through the dugout to the tunnel. Then Virgil hit a walk off grand slam.
The indignity of being pulled for a PH in a clutch situation against the team that traded him away. Man was Joe pissed off.

Great stuff for us geezer G-fans!
Why would you wear your mom’s sunglassses in your baseball card pic?
Because he was awesome, bro…
Hah!
What a great series leading to the AS game, a possible 6-game swing in the standings. By Sunday night, Giants will be 2, 4, 6, or 8 games out. 2 4 6 8, what would we appreciate? Sweep! Sweep!
sure are a lot of dodger fans in the high priced seats behind the bums dugout.
Adames bomb!
Gone.
That was a perfect drive by Adames, line shot, under the wind and got out in a hurry..So great to see him heating up with the weather.
I swear I’m not pitching to Ohtani. HBP every time, would be my call.
Ohtani blast in the bay made Adames HR a Texas little leaguer bloop by comparison..
Yeah Loco, as Krukow always says , you got 2 empty bases you don’t have to pitch to him..
LFG!!!
Lee for the lead.
JHL delivers a triple over Hernandez’s head 2RBI’s!!!
Welp…
Even when Williams makes the right call it’s wrong.
I was rooting for Windmill Matty, he just can’t get ONE right poor guy..
Cmon Lee I thought was faster then that, Son of the Wind ?Uh no!!and to get thrown out by Conforto? Stings a tad more.,Looked like he started his slide to early..
DOM BOMB!!!!
Dom bomb!
Yeah you right, Dom.
I wonder if Ohtani has ever heard of Masanori Murakami. Had he entered the league post WW2 he would’ve gotten 100x the shit Jackie Robinson did…
Atta boy DOM!!!
Way to blast oppo taco HR off of Carrot Face!
Adames!!
Another triple!
Fuck yeah!!!
and JHL beats it out.
Adames has the 2 toughest one to get out of the way for a cycle night!
Dogpile falling apart and it’s Fucking Great 8-2!!’ On a 5 spot so far..
Stomp their fuckin guts out!!!
Great to see Adames really heating up.
Dom diddy dom as well.
Breaking up is hard to do…
Hey! We finally hit someone.
Wow. Smith smoked that. Was worried about Webb being in the dugout for 35 minutes.
At least he didn’t knock it over the fence.
Well, Conforto did. Of all poeple. Fucking clown.
Fuck!
What’s the opposite of getting Cained?
Fuck Conforto. Time to shut these guys down and get dem runs back.
Lee misplayed some drives to CF in Sacramento that surprised me. Now I’m beginning to worry. WTF?
Conforto sure has come back to bite us.
RR can go two I guess. Hold em!
Yeah, he fucked up 2 in a row. Only Betts’ slowness kept him from scoring on the line drive that got by Lee. Then the next one.
This inning won’t die
Is everyone ready for the infield dribbler, 89 mph grounder through the IF and bomb off of Rogers?
Fucking Dogpile is stomping are guys out this inning!
Webb never use to that many runs,he gave up some hit me shit.Lee should of caught that ball though which cost him that second run..
RR comes in to shut the door,So Wobbly Webb still could qualify for a W.. but fuck they better add on cause a 2run lead with Coconut Doval scares the shit out of me in the 9th..
Ok, my positive contribution tonight is Bailey has hit the ball hard all 4 times since his walkoff.
Edman is the Dodgers Scutaro…
Lee having a night to forget.
Fuck. 2 more innings.
8 ain’t gonna be enough.
But you absolutely knew they weren’t going to add on.
In the field I should say.
Rogers and Doval
Smoke a fat bowl
0-2 seems to be the kiss of death tonight.
MLB Network late night chicks are borderline soft-core porn. Objectify my ass…
eeeeeeeep
One down one to go
Any hope on God’s green earth we can get an ins run?
Doubt it Chuck we shot are wad..
Fucking Dogpile has top of the order coming up against Doval,,Get your paddles out and say clear to start your heart again..
Whiskey at the ready.
Funny you mentioned that Chuck, I just poured a 14 year old Odan single malt scotch whiskey with a couple of craft round ice cubes from my new LG fridge!!🥃
Got my single-barrel Angel’s Envy.
I have a Busch Light and an old apple…
Friend of mine bought me an ice cube maker that makes an ice cube bigger than a golf ball.
One at a time, but hey, it looks cool!
Stupid 0-2 pitch for Doval. And you know Betts steals.
Warm up Walker. Now.
YESSS! 8 is enough!
Whew, thats a huge W.
Yaha wrap it up!
oooooooooooooooh yes!!!!!!
Easy peazy!!!!
Fuck me sideways.
0-7 for the Dogs.
Webbie gets one back
whew!
now I think I’ll take a look at mlb network.
bow chicka bow wow . . .
I don’t believe it Doval gets a DP to end it the whiskey 🥃 is now going down a lot smoother!!
Well this game had it all, HR’s, Triples,Bad defense (Lee more than a few times plus getting nailed at the plate, as Williams continues to be snake bitten) but it’s a Fucking Giants Win and a Dogpile 7th straight loss!!Keep it rolling they need to sweep 🧹 these fucks and cut it to only a 2 game deficit going into the break!!
Died in his sleep at 78. Solid SP on some bad Senator teams but had some big years with early 70’s Tigers. His father and son both pitched in the majors…
Any interest in picking up DJ Lemaihieu at the vet minimum like post Red Sox Panda a few years ago?
idk man he’s not exactly next Scutaro, though neither is Schmitt. Missed all but end, what was Ramos problem?
Bruce Jenkins geezer highlights on AS game: in 1961 NL won with rally in 9th led by Mays Aaron F Robby and Clemente. Mays had 15 different appearances where he got 4 ABs.
I know I’m late since I was out with friends but hell yes!! Fucking winner winner chicken dinner!!!!
