But I don’t have them saved anywhere.

I can’t remember any scenes where he’d have glowing red eyes.

No editing is needed.

The Giants won a baseball game

against a real baseball team.

The Angels were suffering along having a .500 season, until the NL West appeared on their schedule. Now they’ve won seven straight and Texas is hearing loud footsteps.

 It usually as slipped its’ leash and while running free it hides behind, trash cans, bushes, tires and what not to race out and get under your feet will trying to nip your heels. This usually happens while you have your hands full with something else too important to be able to use it to teach the rat-dog a lesson with. That is role of the Cardinals in a Giants fan universe for the last 30 years or so. Thus is has been and thus is will be.

That is a great stat for the game. Also makes the relievers so much more fun to watch.

Official Rules: 10.00 The Official Scorer

(b) If the pitcher whose team assumes a lead while such pitcher is in the game, or during the inning on offense in which such pitcher is removed from the game, and does not relinquish such lead, is a starting pitcher who has not completed
(1) five innings of a game that lasts six or more innings on defense, or
(2) four innings of a game that lasts five innings on defense, then the official scorer shall credit as the winning pitcher the relief pitcher, if there is only one relief pitcher, or the relief pitcher who, in the official scorer’s judgment was the most effective, if there is more than one relief pitcher.
Rule 10.17(b) Comment: It is the intent of Rule 10.17(b) that a relief pitcher pitch at least one complete inning or pitch when a crucial out is made, within the context of the game (including the score), in order to be credited as the winning pitcher. If the first relief pitcher pitches effectively, the official scorer should not presumptively credit that pitcher with the win, because the rule requires that the win be credited to the pitcher who was the most effective, and a subsequent relief pitcher may have been most effective. The official scorer, in determining which relief pitcher was the most effective, should consider the number of runs, earned runs and base runners given up by each relief pitcher and the context of the game at the time of each relief pitcher’s appearance. If two or more relief pitchers were similarly effective, the official scorer should give the presumption to the earlier pitcher as the winning pitcher.
(c ) The official scorer shall not credit as the winning pitcher a relief pitcher who is ineffective in a brief appearance, when at least one succeeding relief pitcher pitches effectively in helping his team maintain its lead. In such a case, the official scorer shall credit as the winning pitcher the succeeding relief pitcher who was most effective, in the judgment of the official scorer.
Rule 10.17© Comment: The official scorer generally should, but is not required to, consider the appearance of a relief pitcher to be ineffective and brief if such relief pitcher pitches less than one inning and allows two or more earned runs to score (even if such runs are charged to a previous pitcher). Rule 10.17(b) Comment provides guidance on choosing the winning pitcher from among several succeeding relief pitchers.

interesting. I think typically that is the reflexive call. this instance certainly is a rarity.

It hit on the walkway behind the arcade and bounced into the water… there was this couple standing looking out at the water (this is the only ballpark in the world, btw, where such a thing is not totally stupid), when this baseball hit the concrete about 5 feet from them, and they were both pointing excitedly like “hey, look, remember when this used to happen during games too!”

The dude with the kayak was excited too. He must be dragging the GDP down $100M just by himself these days with the Giants’ dingerzzzz recession.

Just Bochy being Bochy

I think it is getting deep enough into the season Big Head really has to start inventing excuses to keep Molinia in the #4 spot; especially if Panda is hitting behind him. I can understand the not wanting to move Rowand out of the led off spot (though I disagree) but I see no logical reason to be hitting the Almost Moving Mountain in front of Panda. There are fewer reasons to think Sandoval couldn’t do just as well in the #3, or #4 spot.

I was listening to WFAN yesterday, and they kept telling me that the Mets have the best bullpen in baseball. Therefore, you are incorrect. Pedro Feliciano, Bobby Parnell and KRod are much better than Affeldt, Romo and Wilson. No better an authority than Boomer Esiason says so.

but how else is the Big Head supose to stay awake?

Wasn’t the P spot in the order leading off the next inning? I think Downs made the last out in the previous inning. Only had 9 outs left and didn’t want to waste one on a pitcher. But yeah, they could have just waited until after Medders pitched the 7th or got pulled and do the double switch mid-inning.

I like this Matt kid. He looks like he has a plan at the plate and that steal of third with Unit hitting was just awesome. Salty popped up and was all “oh, that’s right. I probably shouldn’t throw it to the empty base”. Awesome.

Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An’ if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know!

DID YOU KNOW HE COULD THROW 55 AT 88 YEARS OLD?
