I’m still not sure if he’s gonna make that catch.

Utter frustration and futility.

I had this exact video saved on my computer after the no-no

And I recommend that everyone do it (I used DownloadHelper on Firefox). I uploaded it briefly to YouTube (since it’s such great quality) that night, but apparently MLB does not like it if you post up their videos on YouTube.

Yeah it’s interesting how different sports treat their video footage. The Raiders pigeon video is still up on youtube. And the NHL seems to allow their video to remain on line.

It seems silly not to allow the video, but a lot of things MLB does seems silly to me.

There was also a time I was able to see the condensed game, with all outs, but also all giants at bats. Nice for the archive :)

That curveball that Dirty snaps off to the outside corner against RH hitters is my single favorite pitch on the staff, I think — just in front of the Lincecum changeup.

OK, can you replay the entire 80s?

I wish the video had more footage with Sanchez and his father. Such a great story.

by Merope on Dec 22, 2009 8:04 AM PST up reply actions  

I like Jonathan Sanchez. I’m more attached to him then Lincecum. When you see the ups & downs of a young player you vest more of yourself into their career. Sanchez & Cain are my favorite Giant players. Don’t trade them Sabean.

Baseball's Best

If you search “Baseball’s Best” at the iTunes store there are some great (and not so great) Giants games available to download for $1.99. On Sunday I downloaded and watched game 1 of the 1989 NLCS.

Also from this game

Pablo smashes a very Bondsian homerun to RF near the cable car. My favorite of the season.

Just the fact that Jonathan’s dad sees him pitch in the majors for the first time makes this moment even more memorable. It’s very father-son cliché. But damn it, it’s awesome to see.

Pablo does hit the occasional monster homer

He hit a ridiculous homer in San Diego towards the end of last season.

It’s cool by the way how links to Giants’ clips currently show Bonds’ #71, #73, #660, and #756 in the “Related Videos” section on the bottom, probably in light of his agent’s recent remarks. #71 especially — what a swing.

by non sequitur on Dec 22, 2009 11:45 AM PST up reply actions  

Was that a Bowker sighting in LF? Considering how many put outs he had in a no hitter, I’m shocked he didn’t take over all the starts for the rest of the season.

by Cody_ransom on Dec 22, 2009 9:03 AM PST reply actions  

He would have but

he short armed a throw back to the infield. Bochy doesn’t like that.

I hate to say this but if Fred Lewis had been in LF that night at least one of those balls may have been dropped. (Don’t hate, jponry!)

Timmy: You want a Choco Taco? I’ve laced it with weed for quality enjoyment before every game. Fuck! Yes!
Judge: Thanks for the offer, but….wait, what? I’m going to have to give you another…
Timmy: No, really, I insist. I’ll even give you an autograph and the game ball of the next game I win. Of course, that could mean a few starts since Rowand can’t hit a changeup, but…
Judge: Really? Oh thank you Tim! My son’s a huge fan of you, he’d love it! I’ll dismiss the case against you.

I cant remember if i was commenting during the game, or once it ended in the PGT. I do remember I finally signed up for an account a few days earlier thinking: ‘hmm i should check out what these comments are all about’. I had been a regular reader of Grant’s for a few years. I’m glad I thought to sign up early, else I wouldn’t have been able to comment that night.
