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

It's my blarg! Quick Pitch

I wonder...

... what would be the ramifications of playing the 2009 ASG during right at the end of 2010 Spring Training…
and so on…

It's very nice

to know I’m not the only one who feels exactly the same way

by bondslegend on Jul 18, 2008 6:25 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I’m hoping for at least one Crazy Crab shot on the tele

Day off immediately after the All Star Break = worst idea ever. Fucking Selig.

I have to admit

my life has been a little less stressful the past few days without giants baseball, but it has also felt a little empty.

mlb.com

Has timmeh THIRD in its list of first half NL cy youngs. Fuck off, mlb.com.

I miss the days when sfgiants.com was its own website, not a subset of mlb.com. And knbr.com streamed Giants games for free.

by jcb9 on Jul 18, 2008 6:34 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Srsly

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.

by bondslegend on Jul 18, 2008 6:38 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

me too!

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]

by Merope on Jul 18, 2008 6:39 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

MATT CAIN SUCKS

Not even Jason Giambi’s lucky thong could help that chump.

by jcb9 on Jul 18, 2008 6:35 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

On a scale of one to ten, with ten being totally spectacularly awesometastic and one being incredibly, ridiculously craptacularicious, Cain is a negative 10.

What could possibly be better to counteract a home-field disadvantage than an anti-mascot??!?

Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.

by delorean on Jul 18, 2008 6:43 PM PDT   0 recs

When I saw him, at least penultimate Candlestick game in 1999, the Giants kicked the Dodgers’ ass. Clearly, this proves we cannot lose with the Crab on our side.

1 full week without the Giants on TV...

...for me. I don’t get NBC11 here in the Central Valley. And tomorrow’s game isn’t on tv at all. No baseball for a week= SUCK

tomorrow's game isn't on TV???

FOX >:(

Can you get 31 out of Sacto?
That’s where we’ll be watching.

I’m with you. I live in Capitola & can’t see it either. It was my one saving grace tonight (that and beer of course) after a rough freaking week. I even pay for stupid Extra Innings but it’s blacked out. Ridiculous.

well

he’s currently 3rd in the league in Not Being Ray Durham. So it depends on how important that particular metric is to you

Is Burriss at SS?

He should be, since he can really only hit lefties.

I know FTW means For The Win in the Interworld, but to me, it still stands for Fuck The World.

It still applies when Castillo plays.

ochoa batting 2nd?

i mean…i guess i shouldn’t be too upset.
i was going to ask what about Ochoa suggests he’s capable of hitting there.

And then i glanced downthe lineup and thought “well, what the hell have THEY proven to bat second??”

Apparently Aurilia and Durham caught the flu from Lincecum.

If Lincecum was a real gamer he would have given it to Castillo and Vizquel.
