Re: Open Gameday Thread, 8/19
I remember wandering around Yerba Buena Gardens during game six in 2002 and seeing people laughing at children who looked so disappointed in Anaheim. I remember the quote "Ahhhh, the agony of defeat" then laughs. At the time I thought, this is not the way to win, or to even enjoy a lead. At that point in the game the only focus should be on winning the game and the thrill that will provide.
Giants fans have a lot of negativity. This poster is a classic example.
Call me negative if you want, I am simply pointing out the difference between being a winner and a loser. Winners accept their losses and appreciate the victories. Losers focus on losing. Enjoying someone else's loss is not much different from enjoying your own loss.

It's incidents like THAT which fuel our so-called "negativity".
Your intentions and points are well meant, P., but you can't stop this thing...it's too big.

Look at all the time we have to find, sign and transport a reliable closer.

Re: He looked so limber back then
Bonds in the Lineup
Vizquel ss - 5 straight games without at least 2 hits. Slumping? Nope.
Durham 2b - simply on fire right now.
Bonds lf - Will he ever get it going? Doesn't look like it.
Alou rf - Hammy problem won't keep him from starting.
Hillenbrand 1b - Hopes to continue recent production
Feliz 3b - hitting .200 since All-Star Break
Alfonzo c - Matheny the new Wally Pipp?
Hennessey p - Looking to entrench himself in the starting rotation.

I am so ashamed of this team right now. It's pathetic.
Hennessey has lost it
I am so disappointed in Hennessey right now.

We're down 10-0
I suggest hacking away.
Goodnight, all. I'm done with this mess.

It was cold.
Why didn't Woody throw out the first pitch? I MEAN REALLY.
There were a TON of Dodger fans there. Really loud, too. Everywhere. It never ended.
There was a guy in front of us who kept razzing Maddux, funniest ever. Stuff like, "HEY MADDUX! You're old ... you have a rubber arm ... you're gonna give up a single RIGHT NOW ... you look like you have some gas, Maddux!"
It was cold.
Things got a lot better when it went 10-4.
I didn't think it was that cold...
10-4 was a good moment wasn't it. And 10-6. Ahhhhh that was nice.
Oh yeah!
"GO HOME DODGERS clap clap clap clap clap
GO HOME DODGERS clap clap clap clap clap
GO HOME DODGERS clap clap clap clap clap
AND TAKE YOUR FANS WITH YOU!"
I had...
Everyone behind me dug the shirt though.
