yep. I blame Natto if Timmy doesn’t get the CG

Shaddup. Natto hopped over the chalk line

He is the Cy favorite, right now…it may not appear that way in the media, but he is.

should add
to make it more clear:
He’s the favorite because he controls his destiny. If he messes up, then it opens the door for Webb and CC and Dempster…but he has 4 starts, I think. 3 more wins and no big fat ER number, in other words, keep doing what he’s done all year, and he wins.

This would be what, the second Giants complete game all year, right?
I can’t even remember who else got one, but I seem to recall it happening.

are you guys really complaining
about 8 plus innings and 2 runs and 10 ks?
really?
It should have been 8 shutout innings then a reliever.

would you rather have bochy take him out after 8 ips and a
chance for his first cgsho?
boch gave him all the chance in the world to get it himself.
i’m not mad at him at all
I’d rather he take him out after the first batter gets on in the 9th.

We’re complaining about Bochy leaving him out too long and the bullpen/defense blowing the shutout like dumbasses.

how can you blame hinshaw on that?
the dude got a ground ball and nearly got a dp to end the game!!
…yeah, and it was his fault on defense that it didn’t turn into a double play.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
In all fairness
…that was a tough DP to turn. Would’ve needed an otherworldly play.

How does that score?
He gets 1 ER for it, but you can’t really give 2 because that implies the second run would have scored anyway. Even if you can’t assume a DP, you can’t assume a run, can you?

Time for me to come clean
I couldn’t allow Lincecum to get a CG SO because the guy I’m facing this week in fantasy has him and would’ve gotten two points for the complete game and the shut out. I told myself I wouldn’t use my powers for selfish reasons, but I was desperate.
get the umeboshi ready.

WOO HOO
Seriously, Tim is now 16-3 on one of the worst teams in the majors. How the hell is that not enough wins?
I'll say it again
Timmy is in the driver’s seat for the Cy Young. Barring no-hitters and perfect games and tons of shutouts by Webb/CC, all Tim has to do is pitch the way he has all year and finish with his numbers staying in the same area and he wins.

In a world where sportswriters and sports media are intelligent and objective, this would be true.
But the people who vote for this award are people like Bruce Jenkins, except not as bright.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??
Have things changed
I remember it being 2 beat writers from local papers per team.
These are guys who travel and see every game. They know about Timmy. It’s not talking heads on ESPN who haven’t touched a jock strap in their lives.
by positiveuphemism on Sep 8, 2008 9:57 PM PDT up reply actions
The only edge Webb has is in wins. In everything else – ERA, K, WHIP, Winning %, BAA, etc – Tim wins. Even the writers will notice that, a la Randy Johnson in 1999, and Webb only has a 3-win edge vs 5 for Hampton that year.

Adoptive Parent of Francisco Peguero. He can throw, he can run, he can hit(fastballs), and he's Dominican. What else do you need to know?
I think you're right
but it’ll still come down to the last few starts. Certainly if Tim’s ERA drops to over one run lower than Webb’s, it’s over. (right now: 2.54 v. 3.41, I think)
So angry about Hinshaw blowing the shutout
I feel like going to a sports bar right now and insisting that baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??
not a big deal. 1 er. so what.
Adoptive Parent of Francisco Peguero. He can throw, he can run, he can hit(fastballs), and he's Dominican. What else do you need to know?
I know all that and I'll be fine in a few minutes...

By the way, would YOU like to fight?

hell yes.

how can you blame hinshaw for that? he came in with the bases loaded and one out and he got a ground ball that almost ended the game.

this is sarcastic right?
please tell me you are joking
HE BOTCHED THE DEFENSIVE PLAY HOW IS THIS HARD TO UNDERSTAND
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
He was covering first on the would-be DP. According to Jon Miller, he badly overran first base, then had to reach back for the throw, which ended up glancing off his glove. Good pitching, bad defense.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??

I think the only reason saves is on there
was because of Gagne’s year so they had to have it worth something. That’s the only thing not accurate in the formula it looks like as its been right like 90% of the time the last 5 years if you take out closers.
