Good Bye 2025
And finally it is here. Number One Hundred and Sixty Two. It has been a long road. One that I’m not really interested in traveling again.
But it’s a beautiful day and I get to go to the yard so everything is perfect. Just checked StubHub, all the tickets available are significantly less than the $160 each we paid for ours.
If the Giants are winning by a run in the 9th and they bring Ryan Walker in there’s a chance I’ll storm the field and wring his chicken neck. They need to be up by 9 runs or more for Walker to be allowed onto the field.
I’ll keep the Flap humming through the post season then I’ll shut her down for the Winter and then…you know the drill.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Should be a fun day for you, get ya a sheboygan brat with grilled onions, an ice cold beer and enjoy. I’ll be watching for your foul ball catch.
Loco, It’s almost time to batten down the hatches, good luck to you it might be a bad one.
Go Giants, hope you have a great day at the park flav. Always loved going to the last game.
Next year robo umps and who knows what else but if i’m still here I will be looking forward to it.
Thanks Winder. Expecting a lot of rain, but right now it’s looking like we’ll luck out where we’re at. Are you on the East Coast?
Yeah, Pensacola
Hell ya, y’all on the Gulf Coast have been getting a lot of hits the last few years. You know what’s it like being glued to NHC and Mikes weather pages.
Only been here for a little over a year but the first two weeks I was here there were two very destructive hurricanes just far enough away that all we got was some wind and a lot of rain.
You still have to prep for them, and those outer bands can still reck havoc. Hang in there, it’s still the season.
Have fun Flav and thanks for nice thought end of thread.
Was running man to man D drill at practice yesterday with 8th grade boys. we were short 1 to go 4 x 4 in half court so I ran (um as little as possible) with them for 15 minutes or so. Talk about Old and In the Way.
Just stand in the corner and wait for a pass. They’ll think you’re an NBA player…
Yeah Loo I hate that BS.
Masanori Murakami to appear Sunday Oct. 5 in Mill Valley in support of film “Diamond Diplomacy” about American connection to Japanese baseball. Didn’t Lefty O’Doul have something to do with popularizing sport over there after tour?
Has a team ever had 2 rookies break in the same season like Rice and Lynn 50 years ago? It’s insane. I wonder if old Sox fans knew this was coming…

Willie, consider EHIIT and HIIT (Extended High-Intensity Interval Training – 20 minute anaerobic weight lifting training; and, HIIT High-Intensity Interval Training – 10 minute stationary bike session, set with 2 20 second high resistance intensity periods). I trade off doing these each day, with 6 sessions total, taking off one day a week. If you are interested, I can send you 2 videos that explain each one.
Basically, us “old” guys have zero time (or at least I do) for spending 1-2 hours in a gym. Equally important, as was the case with me, particularly the last 7-8 months, “Father Time” can kick your ass so much faster at our age.
Lastly, I am back to intermittent fasting since a week ago, with 20:4 the first 5 days; and, 19:5 the last 2 days. Basically, you’re fine with 16:8, as this is where you get the benefit of Ketosis and autophagy (“body eating itself,” i.e., cell renewal/rejuvenation; and, some medical experts thinking that it possibly can prevent cancer, although not proven). Like I said, give me a shout, if you’re interested . . . 70+ is the new 50 (maybe 40 lqtm).
Thanks, I’ll stay in touch.
If SF wins today and the Mets and Reds both lose, the Giants will have missed the playoffs by two games.
And there it is #30!
That got out in a hurry.
Willy came to play! Webb,as well. Wilmer’s farewell inning will be cool.
Mr. Ed taking a deserved bow!
Was hoping they would do something like that for Wilmet. Such a Class act he’s always been.
As he rides off into the sunset
Yeah, Adames came to play.
Devers bomb.
And one for Devers.
35 for Devers. In his 163rd game.
Football Giants trying to hold on vs. unbeaten Harbs and Chargers. Up 3 with ball 2 minutes left Chargers out of timeouts
Wow Jaxson Dart led Giants hold them off
Fucking Niners playing giveaway.
Get some insurance! No matter who has 9th
Lee comes through! 2 out RISP hit adds 2 to lead.
Best possible send off, I guess. Giants played a good game.
Giants Win 81!
Giants went .500 vs. the National League and .500 vs. the American League.
Yeah, Willie, O’Doul had a huge part in the rapid growth of baseball’s popularity in Japan. If baseball’s Hall of Fame was like other sports’ Hall of Fames, and took more into account than a player’s pro career, there would be a good case to be made for O’Doul being in the Hall of Fame. And he had a nice pro career. .316 career BA, OPS over .900.
He was a player on the Giants 1933 team that won the World Series. He batted one time in that Series: he singled to drive in two runs, and eventually scored himself.
The Fever defeated the Aces to tie their ‘best of five’ Series at 2-2. Game 5 is in Las Vegas.
The Minnesota head coach got suspended one game for having an epic meltdown towards the refs at the end of Game 3 in their series with Phoenix. I’m not a fan of Coach Reeve, She’s the one that left Clark off of the Olympic team.
Congrats on being at win 81 Craig! Sad baseball is over for us. Go Reds!!
