Post-Game Recap: The Giants Get Creamed
by Grant Brisbee on Jun 15, 2009 10:10 PM PDT
Email
PrintSeats stunk. Game stunk. Pitching stunk. Chicken strips stunk. They wanted $1.50 for barbecue sauce after I found a co-signer who helped me qualify for the chicken strips loan -- that stunk.
I don't want to give you the impression that everything stunk. A lot of things sucked, too. Zito sucked. That call at first sucked. Zito's fastball sucked.
At least: Pablo. Dude doesn't suck.
Also, tonight wasn't a very good game.

So
Rich Aurillia or Manny Burris; one has to leave this team. Which one do you choose?
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
rich aurillia
burriss contributes to the team on at least some levels

Burriss.

Reasoning
Richie is only really getting any PT outside of pinch hitting right now because Uribe is injured. Burriss plays every fucking day.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

Trick Question
Bochy is still the manager, right? HAHAH. Oh.
FWIW, I buy Jponry’s vision above – Aurillia as a pinch-hitter is doing less damage than Manny every day.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.

I had to Google him
But you’ve had 30 more years to absorb musical knowledge, I’ve only heard that line from Scrubs, and the only music from the sixties that anyone remembers is Dylan, Joplin, Hendrix, and Morrison (Doors).
You could make a case for the Beatles/Beach Boys but they don’t really belong to a single decade.
The Beatles were pretty much all 60s, dude. If they don’t just belong to a single decade… how does Dylan?
People remember a lot more than just those artists.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
PABLO SANDOVAL AM STEAL DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS.
I'm not any kind of expert on Dylan
I kind of hate his music. But as far as I know, he was FAR more popular and made better music during the sixties than any other decade. Obviously he has retained much of that popularity (as many artists have).
But the Beatles and the Beach Boys take it to a different level. Dylan, etc. are certainly still popular, but IMO not to the same extent as either of those bands. The Beatles were only active during the sixties, but their music has held up far better over time than Dylan’s, both in terms of critical acclaim and overall popularity.
And obviously people remember more than those artists. But those are the big ones. I’m sure there are others I forgot, but I’m not exactly a music history expert. Evidenced by the fact that I’ve never heard of that 1969 Hollies song.
Your opinions are bad and you should feel bad.

That’s just weird. If you don’t like Dylan that’s one thing, but to say that his music hasn’t held up in terms of popular acclaim…he’s still the most highly regarded solo artist in the history of rock music, or at least on par with Elvis, Hendrix, etc.
A few years ago Rolling Stone picked the 100 best artists in the history of pop/rock, and Dylan came in 2nd (to the Beatles, obviously).

I just remember it seemed like he was improving for a while. He’s been pretty bad the whole time, but his pretty bad the last time I heard him was way better than his pretty bad from when he started,

1. Fuck Me. Didn’t get a chance to use my poster as Aurilia squandered the only double play opportunity he had. He lined a single for an RBI. Son of a bitch.
2. Manny Burriss looks completely lost at the plate
3. John Lackey’s slider is pretty sick. Rowand had no chance. He also had a great game plan throwing pretty much nothing but fastballs the first time through, then lead with slider and changeups the 2nd time through the lineup.
4. Oh my God that Torres HR was loud.
5. Torii Hunter. Gamer. Dude looked dead for 5 minutes.
6. Fuck Barry Zito.

I was at the SJ Giants game watching Thomas Neal and Buster tear it up. I went down to the concession stands to see the big Giants score and saw it was 8-0 and figured Zito screwed the pooch. It’s nice to see they made something of this game with a comeback attempt. I need to start recording every game. Wish I could see Torres and Pablo’s homers. Sounds like the wind was a big factor tonight, a big night for dingerz at the yard.
Panda is awesome. I’d like some moar. He really needs to start batting 3rd or clean up though, like every game. I’m sick of seeing Molina cleanup every game. It would be one thing if he was still hitting .320 and driving in runs, but he’s been bad for awhile now. Meh.
Pablo is now only 2 pts behind Hanley Ramirez in OPS. Just throwing it out there. :)
I LOVE this kid!
Remember when we were all worried he wasn’t going to hit well again about a week into the season? :’)

PABLO SANDOVAL AM STEAL DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS.
WHEN ARE WE FINALLY GOING TO ADMIT THAT PABLO SANDOVAL MIGHT NOT BE IT

Honestly I was never really worried about Pablo. I saw him play plenty in SJ the past 2 years. And last year when he got to the bigs, and he has a very very unique ability to square up the ball literally anytime he swings the bat, no matter how bad of a pitch or what kind of location it is. I’ve really only seen Vlad be able to do that.
Anyone else think that Renteria getting called out at first blew the game for us?
If we assume he gets called safe, Winn’s single puts guys on 1st and 2nd with nobody out, which makes Whiteside’s DP leave a guy on for Sandoval’s homer. And that’s assuming that Renteria being on second with one less out doesn’t change anything, which it does. If he gets called safe there, I’d say there’s a pretty good argument to be made that a rally gets going and Sandoval’s three run dinger in the ninth ties the game or wins the game.
Maybe it’s just me, but I wouldn’t call it unreasonable to say that the first base ump made us lose.
Undoubtedly
But once Zito had blown the game, then the first base umpire blew the game. It was like some sort of perfect storm of game-blowing.
Too bad Luis Castillo isn’t playing 2nd for us so he could drop an easy popup.
Too bad Luis Jose Castillo isn’t playing 2nd 3rd for us.

Too many assumptions. You don’t know the Angels would pitch different with a runner at 1st. One of my pet peeves if when a umpire blows a call or a player gets picked off, people always assume the same thing would happen if those incidents didn’t happen.
Correct.

I was at game 7!!
And that really sucked!! I hate the Angles and I hope they lose every game for ever.
7 years later and it still stings!!! Ahhhhh!!
Aigh… I’m glad I couldn’t make it, no matter how bad of a father that makes me.
At least Pablo is a monster. His K rate has been about 12% in the past few months, and his walk rate is climbing to 6%. If he can maintain those numbers (and an ISO of 200!), we’re looking at a 340/380/540 player, which is a wOBA of 390ish. So far, Pablo is on a 4-5 win pace.
Proud father of Barry Zito. As long as he keeps throwing strikes, that is.
