I hate the lack of Giants baseball during the All-Star Break.

they still let the NFL games by, at least they did last year. I don’t know how that works, because they’re not supposed to.

I miss the webcam the Giants used to have.

The fact that the dodgers website was soooo low tech was great fun also. Looked like it had been cobbled together by a couple of 13 year olds [no offense to any 13 year olds out there]

They also sometimes had ticket giveaways. I got a couple of free tickets and a Giants mousepad for filling out a survey once. Of course, that was 1996, so the games were hardly worth free.

throw one of the offspeed pitches for a strike

Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

That’s what a real pitcher would do.

He probably just eats a shitload of carbs and then wonders why he doesn’t lose any weight.

yikes

i’d hate to see what the main course looked like after he finished his salad.

I just noticed that Cain had his hair cut. Anything to help break the sucky streak, I guess.

these brewer idiot announcers don’t seem to know that the east coast games were played already. Talking about the Mets going for 11 in a row tonight.

Is this gun hot? It’s showing Cain at 96-97

i think it's been hot for weeks

Zito was touching 90-91 in his last starter. Wilson’s consistently been hitting 100 ( i mean, some nights he’ll hit it 2-3 times in an at-bat).
It’s borderline ridiculous.

our gun has seemed hot since Zito started hitting 88 again

AND they made Fielder run on the play. Tire that motherfucker out!

FunFact

Moneyball called Prince Fielder the only player too fat to be drafted by the A’s. He’s done a bit better than Jeremy Brown (was that his name? doesn’t look right).

Well, that inning wasn’t quite as bad as the first.

Still pretty bad.

Yeah, it makes a lot of sense to advertise Crazy Crab bobblehead night during the actual game.

Q: Is it wrong for me to think it looks like he tucked his left arm into his shirt?
A: Yes, of course it is, jackass.

Me too. But not really ashamed. I have no shame.

I love the “70s Show” episode where he’s the minister who does pre-marital counseling and turns out to love Star Wars.

If we weren’t listening to a fluff interview, we would know that CC got a hit.

I could be wrong, but I recall Terry Mulholland having a season when he had four hits – a single, a double, a triple, and a homer.

I've mentioned this before

But wen I was nine, I was in attendance at Dravecky’s comeback game. It was pretty incredible. Still the best game I’ve seen in person. And so sad a few days later in Montreal when he collapsed.

FUCK BLUE

that was Denkinger bad.

by bondslegend on Jul 18, 2008 7:48 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Just once in his fucking tenure, I’d like Bochy to actually look like he gives a shit when he argues a flagrantly bad call. JUST ONCE. I don’t want a Lou Pinella, but I’d like someone who appears to give a crap about his own team.

That's at least 2 losses that are directly attributable to the umps

Also: that will be an error to Bowk, making him look like a worse fielder. F the umps.

brewer's announcer proud that he used the word "inordinate"

even though he pronounced it “inordinant”
fucking tool

I was just about to say I kind of like these Brewers announcers.

Speed, defense... and an almost fanatical devotion to getting picked off.

by SF Pete on Jul 18, 2008 7:53 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Case in point:

the brewers announcers keep saying the inning should be over b/c of that blown call. Most homer announcers would just brush it aside.

by bondslegend on Jul 18, 2008 7:55 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

They seem pretty well prepared too.
