Post-Game Recap: Giants Beat Diamondbacks

PrintThe 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.

When I worked at a toy store, a co worker was demonstrating one of our octopus puppets to a customer. “And look,” she said, in a sales pitchery type voice, “it even has all eight testicles!”
This is doubly hilarious (to me at least) because who the heck thinks they need to point out that an octopus toy comes with a full eight tentacles? Are there cheap knockoff puppet octopi flooding the market that only have seven tentacles?

Carpenter was pulled after 5 innings in his start today. Basically a way for him to get another win, and keep that ERA low. Timmy was dominant through 7, and both inherited runners scored in the 8th. That’s fine, he will be even better next season.

Thanks for the good times, Rich.
There’s a spot on the Wall of Fame for you. Right next to JT!
I still believe in Bowkermania.

They might as well hire Kent and Bill Mueller to have a complete set.

Kent: “Damn that guy sucks. Who put him in the a lineup anyway? An idiot, that’s who. I’m out of here, losers.”
That would be refreshing

Like Steve Young being disgusted about the performance he just saw in (x) Monday Night Football game.
The expressions on he’d get on his face as Emmitt would assault the English language next to him were by far the best part of the entire broadcast.

Aurilia, I think...
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.

(long awkward pause)

Anyone ever seen The Shield? The 42 second pause as Mackey tries to collect himself?
That was a damn long pause.
Pure. Genius.
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.
Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit... Maybe.
Agreed. The Wire (but only seasons 1-3) were just as good in my opinion.
Michael Chiklis really did have a tour de force in the last episode though. Damn good actor.
I agree that Season 5 of the Wire was disappointing, but I absolutely loved Season 4. It might have been my favorite.
Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...
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.
