Open Gameday Thread, 4/29: The Return

Thumb_tiny by Grant on

The balk call was the worst call I've ever seen. The Giants have speed 'n' gamered their way out of a bunch of runs, so it might not be the difference in the game. But, really, an umpire just called a balk because a pitcher stopped his motion on a timeout the umpire granted. Unbelievable.

I’m getting a lot of mileage out of the F word tonight.

If the game ends 3-2, the fans should run on the field and mob the ump.

What's funny about the ump call

The last completely unbelievable BS call against the Giants (that I recall, at least) was also while Lincecum was pitching, when Shane “Ass Hat” Victorino charged Omar.
