Hey guys, I’ll be at this game again! So you know, just like last time, if you see the white guy, be sure to say hi. It’ll be me.
My Dave Righetti is better than your Dave Righetti.
hey, so will we!
..if you see the white guy with the redhead and the five-month-old, be sure to say hi. It’ll be us.

Excellent post, by the way
Loved the sleeping Lasorda with turd all over his face. What a turdball.
Noonan. Nooooonan!

Um....fifth? at 2:50 AM?
I need to stop looking at minor league lines and get my @$$ to bed. Happy fourth, Giants fans.
SFDugout.com is BACK! See the Top 50 Giants Prospects!
Don't know the others' excuses, but it's 5:50 p.m. on July 4th here in Kuala Lumpur, he he
Ditto the sentiments, though. Happy 4th of July everyone and KICK SOME dodgers ASS, Giants!

July 4th overseas = teh suck
if you’re American. Otherwise it’s pretty much just a day. That’s the root of teh suck. Teh ubersuck is the expat community trying to do something (which invariably doesn’t include fireworks, flags or parades, nor a keg, and devolves quickly into shop-talk, rumormongering and bitching about the locals), and the locals trying to help and getting it all wrong (“ID4 Party”? WTF? Yes, George Jefferson was our first black president in the 70’s…)
At least in Malaysia you can get good KFC original or crispy with biscuits and cole slaw. From the second floor of KL Sentral to the rocky beaches of Penang, let the Colonel’s version of freedom ring!
Fred Lewis can stand under my umbrella.
4:02 AM and all is calm in cow-town...
Insomnia is a bitch, ain’t it?
Adoptive papa to Omar...so basically I'm screwed.
best cyoa post ever
If I’d made that masterpiece, I’d post it prematurely too!!
F U Dodgers!!!!
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
Jonathan through time! This is fantastic. And wow Lasorda is one fat load.

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
Thoroughly enjoyable. I almost died when I saw “Stain of the Ancients”
Tentatively adopting Dan Ortmeier. And Boom Goes the Dynamite.
Whoa, never saw a young Lasorda before. Weird.
Less arm, more talk. Raisingcain is a GAMER.
Adopted Giant: Henry Sosa
even in his youth
he looked like an absolute d-bag
Derin McMains had five fingers, but he only used three.
I nominate Ween's "Paintin' the town Brown"
As the album of the day.
Special preference for “Poopship Destroyer”.
¿Julio is tourist in San Francisco? Harper's Bizarre!
Bozo The Clown is dead
Please, God, why didn’t you take Lasorda instead?
Fred Lewis can stand under my umbrella.
There’s also Jesse Helms, this morning.
I actually work for a company that deals in online obituaries, including guestbooks for celebrities and public figures who’ve died – that one should be interesting!
you know what would be awesome?
If Ned Colletti didn’t get fired and continued to make bonehead moves.
Adopted Giant: Aaron King
Wearing the crown by 2011. Or at least the LOOGY hat
Agreed. See above.

AWESOME
That was laugh-out-loud funny.
by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Jul 4, 2008 9:57 AM PDT reply actions
Idea
I wonder if this might catch on at AT&T. They gave out Baron Davis’ beards at Warriors games – why not stains of the ancients on the days Sanchez pitches?
this may have to be a grassroots effort, but i'm not opposed to the idea
and why limit it to people?
Mass produce them and start taping MSPaint-styled mustaches under the noses of various figures in posters/print-ads around the park.

hehe
that would be an awesome giants ad. Just imagine one of those big banner ads around SF. There could be the dodger team photo all mustached.
Less arm, more talk. Raisingcain is a GAMER.
Adopted Giant: Henry Sosa
I like it when Grant has time to kill
I don’t know what I liked more, that post or the mere fact that we have a pitcher worthy of that kind of time investment.
Anagram of "Giants pitcher Matt Cain" = TRAGIC MAN, ISN'T PATHETIC

I have my Punch Cigar ready
for after Sachez sucks really hard and we have to rely on the awesomeness of Thighler to get us the W.
Vizquel/Castilla
I hope Omar becomes the Giants version of the Pads Castilla and defines the need to get Bochy the F* outta here.
Sabean Says
The good news is that he says the young trio of arms is untouchable. Also, he isn’t looking for a rental even though we’re only 5 out. He’s gonna hold on to Bengie. But, he also wants to hold onto Winn, so we will still have way too many outfielders. Luckily he is willing to trade Omar, who no one will want, Durham, who someone might want, and Aurillia, the guy I was hoping would take over Rally Killer’s job.

Why the hell are they wearing those fugly hats again?
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Patriotism

Blue caps during a Dodger series = so much no.
Even if it wasn’t… they just look weird with the regular uniforms.

At least we're not the Blue Jays

If he does that
Then his average might get above Omar’s.

Theory
This is because last year Durham sucked and this year Durham has been pretty okay.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
That must explain why I’m getting more and more sick of Omar this year.
Without killing anyone
We've won it 3 times
who can suck it?
that’s right, Jeffrey. You. You can suck it.
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
Direct TV
I currently am watching the game on Comcast MLB package and I’m moving at the end of the month, the new landlord has Direct TV. Anyone know if I can still get an MLB package on that? I don’t want to lose the ability to watch my giants hit like that. Way to go Ray!
Lowe looked like a lost puppy hoping for the out to be called.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Ray-Ray, still heaving in the dugout.
Hasn’t run that far and fast in six seasons as a Giant
Not like it matters
Sanchez could strike out Andruw Jones 6 times on 3 pitches if he wanted

Agent Ned's best signing?
or is that Schmidt?

I gotta go Schmidt on that one
Jones has been a disappointment for them, but not to the extent of Schmidt.

Andruw and Schmidt combined
don’t equal the Giants’ debacle in Zito
As we’ll discover tomorrow
Speaking of which
Zito is starting on my birthday. :( So much for breaking the streak of Giants birthday losses..
One quick way to get into Nomar's head
Tell him he can’t touch his batting gloves once he gets to the plate.
by rightcenterfielder on Jul 4, 2008 1:33 PM PDT reply actions
He's a dodger, of course you hate him
I also feel like Craig Counsel should be a dodger. I hate him too.
I know I'm late and this is irrelevent but I don't care
..so allow me to present Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain as two sweet, sweet bottles of warming hooch.
His worst atbat ever against the Giants
ended the first inning
No worries
the bulbs are only for the first 15,000 fans or whatever it is. They won’t be giving them out in the 3rd inning when the Dodger fans get there
Giants! Giants! HELP US GOD!

Yeah but Winn is probably better than both those guys now.
I am Cameron Wood and this is my son and business partner CW Culberson.
Ahhh 4ks after 2ip is okay... for a loser!
When are we going to realize that El Guapo will never be as good as we think he can be? Dude sucks.

Shit. Tim would probably have 6ks in only 18 pitches

I looked up Zito’s VORP the other day, just to see how bad it was, and he’s 541st out of 552 pitchers.
Some notable pitchers with worse VORP: Brad Hennessey, Boof Bonser, Matt Morris
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
was it just me or did that inning go by quickly?

If you put Joe Peschi and Ralph Barbieri in the same room on a radio mic, would you tell who was who?
Ask them what they think about Amici’s East Coast Pizzeria, and you’ll get your answer.
