Open Gameday Thread, 5/19

San Francisco @ Colorado


Oh, fantastic. Coors Field and a losing streak. I'd rather watch Steve Buscemi make love to an anteater than watch this game. But, you know, by all means, you should stick around, watch this game, and comment in the Gameday Thread. Don't worry about what I think.

It’s a Timmy start and I haven’t had the chance to listen to a game in a few days.

But I’m so tired. :(

It’s a Misch start.

I too thought it was a Timmy start. Now this means I can do my weekly mani-pedi tonight, as I won’t have to keep a close eye on Pat Misch.

Pat, sorry bro, but you had to know this was coming.

YOU'RE out of it?

I just woke from a nap half an hour ago thinking it was twenty after six A.M.

(I have to be up at 3:30 AM to be at a five AM job…what utter delicious relief!)

Here’s to a stopper of a Rockie annihilation , one run/three innings at a time…

It's okay though

If Durham and Winn keep it up they shouldn’t be here much longer and we can toss Ort and Bowker in more regularly.

Gotta be effin kidding me

Burris/Bowker- one of those 2 should play in EVERY game, regardless of opposing pitcher or any other BS bochy wants to come up with.

I have a feeling Misch will have a good start. He won’t necessarily win (Giants offense in Coors Field is never a given to score runs), but I think he’ll do alright.

Hmm,

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that since we’ve starting playing the oldies again we’ve become completely non competitive again.

You think?

What happened to playing the youngsters?

If we’re gonna lose, let it be with the kids. Except for Velez. He needs more seasoning so that I don’t cry every time a ball comes near him.

I know that Steve Buschemi is an accomplished character actor but I don’t recall…that being in his repertoire.

Coincidentally I love him in Ghost World, which is one of my favorite movies ever.

PS Is there a more boring home run than Randy Winn’s?

Both are perversions of the purity that is a chocolate M&M. Peanut ones are acceptable, but only when eaten as a substitute for a meal (the peanuts have protein, you know).
