Post-Game Recap: Giants Beat Diamondbacks

The Giants went 52-29 this season at home. Dang. I think they were messing around with the humidor.
This thread is reserved for positive feelings. To wit:
Thanks for being a Giant, Richie.
But if you're in the mood to grumble, there's a thread for you over on the side.

Would be much better than Snow.
Partly because he actually has a personality.. And he can be funny… I’ve seen him.
And no, I’m not referring to his fake bunts and fake flies in the eye.

Every episode was fantastic; the whole series was an absolute masterpiece worthy of Shakespeare; and the finale was one of the finest television films ever made. If I could, I would take ‘The Shield’ out behind the middle school and get it pregnant.

Season 2 was flawed, but the good parts within that season were some of the best of the whole show. The only weak element was the unlikability of the Sobodka kids. It seems like I like it more than most people do.

I really wanted at least one guy from the 2002 WS team to get a ring with the Giants. I don’t know, it just would have felt kind of nice. I grew especially attached to the 2002 team as they pulled so hard until the season got cancelled due to that bear uprising. It was nice to see you because it was nostalgic, but it’s time to move onto a new team and hopefully they have the same amount of talent you had.
Then i remember that ridiculous contract you asked for when you left for Seattle. Then I remember how long ago 2002 was. Suddenly i’m ready for 2010.

Even subtracting off a WAR because none of those OFs plays CF, that’s still 32.2 WAR, just based on the lineup. Throw in Verlander (7.9), Cain (3.5), and Papelbon (1.9), and you’ve got 45.5 WAR, even if everyone else (rotation, bench, bullpen) was replacement level. That team would go to the playoffs.

The Giants are promoting 2010 season tickets on their website with this (note the bold):
On Deck Plan
Why should you step up to the plate now with a $750 per seat Season Ticket Wait List deposit? The new brand of Giants baseball, with MLB’s top pitching rotation led by Tim Lincecum & skilled position players like Pablo Sandoval & Eugenio Velez, will be very exciting for years to come. By placing your non-refundable deposit now, you’ll be locking your place in line when we start securing your preferred seat location in the ballpark. Whether you’re entertaining clients, rewarding employees, or creating fond memories with family & friends, AT&T Park will be the place to be for the 2010 baseball season. Dont delay, be a Gamer!

I would think predicting 2010 without seeing what moves the team makes in the offseason is kind of silly. I mean we can assume Sabean will continue to be incompetent and unimaginative, but maybe Neukom will step up with his wallet now that he’s seen the team contend for a playoff spot.

problem is
we’ve seen what Sabes does in FA. Not pretty
by DrStankus on Oct 2, 2009 7:02 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
If the goal is a sustained run of success, this season was an unmitigated failure for 2 reasons:
1) We were competitive, leading management to trade two prominent minor leaguers for two veterans who may not even be on the team next year.
2) It keeps Sabean around, who continues to reduce the probability of future wins with his FA signings, trading and fetish for veterans.
Besides, unlike some I can derive enjoyment from a team that loses more than it wins. There are silver linings, such as “Wow, Lincecum is good” and “we’re going to have a good draft pick this year.” Oh, and “Thank God Sabean is gone.”

And 3) We didn't find out hardly anything about the youngsters this year.
As has been covered to the point of saturation on here, [fill in blank] didn’t get enough playing time to see what he could really achieve at this level. So we wasted a season of investigation. I guess that will be next cot damned year, when it SHOULD have been this year.

Rich Aurilia:
-Made his debut as a September call-up vs the Expos in 1995, the same year the strike ended. That’s a long time ago.
-Hit the first-ever interleague grand slam, off the Angels’ Allan Watson in 1997.
-Went crazy in 2001 in Barry’s shadow, leading the NL in hits with 206 and earning an All-Star nod and a Silver Slugger.
-Set a NL record for shortstops with his 14 RBI in the 2002 postseason.
-Was a good Giant and will be fondly remembered now that he isn’t albatrossing the current roster.
A very sincere thank you, Richie.

Thanks Richie
My brother and I drove up from Visalia to see Richie’s last game at home as a Giant and we certainly were not disappointed. He deserved the five standing ovations he received – he was a heck of a Giant – those bash years batting in front of Bonds, the look he would get any time he got knocked down and his inevitable well hit ball following said knockdown, his grit and determination at shortstop and any other position he played. You could tell he was emotionally touched by the fans’ response and that he really wanted to get a hit today – at least he got an RBI. Thanks for the memories Rich and you deserve your spot on the Giant Wall of Fame once you retire.

Seriously, Bochy? Baggs postgame notes
That said, Molina caught Tim Lincecum on Thursday and he’ll start at least one game this weekend in San Diego. Buster Posey will start one, too.
"Buster, he’s got a great future ahead of him," Bochy said. "A few games here, I don’t know what kind of difference it makes. But I do know Bengie and Eli did a good job helping us contend and I didn’t want to shut them down, either."
Wow… Only one start for Buster? How does this man have a managing job, again?
Insanity is just a state of mind.

INORITE. This last 6 weeks has been a shitty ending to what WAS a fun season. Now even when we are mathmatically NOT in this thing he still plays the vets.

I can see giving Bengie the nod yesterday, as it may be his last home game as a Giant. The last three games should be played by Posey.

You gotta give next year’s starter some starts or he’ll get surly.
Utter frustration and futility.

I have no idea how Baggs finds the time to read McC but he does
so hi Baggs!
I can sense the angst coming from mother’s basements all over the Bay Area now that Bruce Bochy and Brian Sabean are unofficially returning

I’m curious to know just how many Bay Area homes have basements.

Remember all those commercials for Carrie Fisher's one-woman-cabaret-show-or-whatever-the-hell-that-was-supposed-to-be in Berkeley?
I guess this is what we ‘missed’:

worst feeling, or BEST FEELING EVER
I don't know anything about minor league players, so I adopted the Coke Bottle, and it's totally grown on me.
Get rid of Bochy and Sabean, it's time for something new.

Dude, you need help.
Bruce Bochy would like you to look at the career numbers and stop complaining.
