Thank Goodness

After the 1-0 nail biter last night, in which the Giants only squeaked out 2 hits and a win against Justin Duscherer, I feel as though the wins like today's 11-1 romping rarely come anymore, specifically with this type of team built around pitching and defense. As a fan, it just suppresses the stress level for a day until the Giants regress back to their old ways that have me covering my face in the 7th inning, clinging to a 3-2 lead, and Taschner falling behind 3-1 with runners on second and third with two outs and Derek Lee at the plate already two for three on the day with two doubles. haha. Games like today, laughers, are just a great deviation from the daily grind of attempting to stay in the NL Worst race, trade discussions, rumors, and everything in between. It's just entertaining baseball where your team destroys the other and its fun, no bad spots, nothing to criticize, just a great job all around. It makes me realize how much I love baseball, and more significantly how much I love winning. How I love laughers.

Y’all need to just shut that stuff up.
Any of a handful of AL pitchers would make us look like…like…the ‘07 Rockies!

Pitching and defense?

This team is built around crappy.

but the last two games were fun the watch. they were perfect for me, I hadn’t seen any games in three months, and I just got a 50-inch TV… sure MLB.TV won’t give me full screen baseball, and my TV makes it even smaller, but it was BASEBALL!!!

You DO SO have baseball

Isn’t that a Giant Effigy of Barry Zito they burn in the Black Rock Desert every year?

Actually...

It’s a to-scale model of Randy Johnson.

Won’t be surprised to see a strung out busted looking Zito at Burning Man in about 15 years.

You’re right that that the laughers are stress free, but that 1-0 game Saturday was way more exciting. It had me pumping my fist and jumping around the living room, exactly the kind of game that makes my wife tell me she has a headache when we head to bed. That’s ok though, a thrilling victory is way better than predictable sex with your wife!!

Agreed. That's why the veteran move is having sex with other people's wives.

I think we’re in one of the dreaded periods when people who’ve just joined feel the need to post a new diary every time a thought comes into their head.

Censors To The Fore!

Damn that freedom – of – expression thing to hell anyway. We know what we want to read , and it’s usually written by any of a select core of knowledgeable individuals easily recognized by their knowledge of all things Giant and most things baseball. These McCoven McCognoscenti simply never post anything someone shouldn’t want to read because their utterances are the essence of wit and wisdom.
