It's on the MLB network right now, 3nd inning.
I'm watching it for the first time since 2002, so join me! Lets have some fun.
This could be highly enjoyable or a complete flop, but I'd be happy to talk to myself. Come on, the best way to get over a problem is to talk about it. Watch Barry and Aurilia and JT and everyone in their prime. It'll be cathartic.

Oh Dusty
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

To be fair, Lofton threw a big fit about not wanting to be DH.
Of course, little kids throw fits about not wanting to eat vegetables. So I still blame Dusty.
still
if you were going to let lofton play the field, wasn’t there someone better who could DH?
A hearty thank you to Rich Aurilia for all the good memories, and to the Niners for finally getting the uni's (mostly) right.
YEAH YOU ARE!
I don't know about that, to the groin.

Oh, sure...
…but in the context of the moment wouldn’t you rather be sighting him through a sniper’s scope?

I tried to watch this a few days ago, but just couldn’t get past the 7th.
It’s tough.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.
Just turned it off in the 7th.
Couldn’t bear to watch again. Started feeling sick, and had turn it off.

Not Fun Fact
The Giants PA one season used Creed as the music when the Giants took the field to start the game.
"meh"
+1, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000...
His transition at the plate from ’01 to ’02 – from home run hitter to base hitter was, for me, the true measure of a man in possession of awesome skill.
612 PA. 47 strikeouts.
Awesome ratio in itself – then consider that it’s a reduction of 46 from the previous year.
If. as a pitcher you bested Bonds that year you were indeed an ace.
He was on a mission, had refocused and was successful as no one else at it.
Of course many realized that, and the IBBs really started skyrocketing that year…dammit…

In 2004 Bonds had more homers than strikeouts. Unreal.

Bonds also had 198 walks that year in 612 PA. Shawon Dunston in his last year in baseball (2002), had a career 203 walks in 5927 PA.
Please get this guy away from the young hitters immediately .
Matt Downs . The Kevin Frandsen of 2010 !
The difference between Bonds recorded plate appearances (612) and his AB’s (403) is…..
209 .
Coincidence ? I think not

Sadly I missed most of that game at the time
I had went to get my glasses that day and they put some stuff in my eye that made me very sleepy so I took a nap while the game started. I woke up and it was 5-0 Giants so I thought it was over, finalized, done, put a fork in it. Basically, I watched the bitter end and prayed that Livan would come through in Game 7 but AWAK aliens invaded Anaheim that day so we may never know what would have happened.
To this day, I still have not watched any game of that series again and probably won’t until the Giants bring home that shiny looking object with flags on it — then I can laugh heartily at that 2002 team.
Win the inning.
Look at all the kids in the dugout
These days it would be scary if we had that many kids, seeing as how most of our players are like 23

Vin Scully was one of the announcers for the game.
Sad, I don’t get that channel. Better memories than this game.
If Bochy coached the Warriors Bengie Molina would start every game at PG.
Oh shit seriously? Scully announced that game?

I was numb and gave up baseball until April. I didn’t watch one second of game 7 because I knew they weren’t going to win.
"meh"
Oh yeah
I was in NYC at the time and my only solace was to sit around and be miserable with Mad Dog Russo on WFAN….there was no way they were winning Game 7…
So close, so fucking close….It’s like I have had blue balls for 7 years running…One of these days it’s going to happen, right? Right? Guy?
