Open Gameday Thread 9/7 part 2: The Thread Warrior

Dog2_tiny by kenshin1 on

In a shocking move, ESPN has learned that the Giants have called up 1 hour old zygote, Mark Lively, to the bigs.   Citing Lively's plate presence and precocious development, Sabean told this reporter that he anticipates great success for the young ball player.    Some critics have called the move premature, saying Lively has neither a functioning central nervous system nor actual limbs but Sabean dismisses these criticisms as mutterings from fringe fans.   His response  "we just couldn't afford to wait any longer.  After all, Lively will be a blastocyst in 3 days".

Beam should have a straight fastball with that name.

Nah, I guess he used to be a Yankee but signed a minor league deal with the Pirates this year.

8-run inning of the season! Better extremely late than never.

Probably a good thing

If we had had the eight-run inning before July 31st, we might have been buyers at the deadline.

Time to ask

what’s the Giants/MLB record for most hits in an inning?

No, my Crazy Crab bobblehead is not for sale.

what % of this doesn’t happen with a better defense?

After an exhaustive examination of all variables, the answer is:

Lincecum vs Kershaw
Cain vs Billingsley
