Giants Drinking Game (2009)

(originally appeared in Gameday thread part II of postponed RJ 300 game @ Nats)

I did a quick search, but I still can't believe no one thought of this...

Your! 2009 Giants Drinking game.

Get an alcoholic beverage. Define a “drink” and a “chug”. A chug should equal 1 12 oz. beer, 1 shot of hard liquor, or 1 4 oz. glass of wine. There are approximately 10 drinks to a chug. Feel free to alter to your taste/liver/probability of getting up in the morning.

Take a drink whenever:

Any Giants player swings at the first pitch
Any Giants player hits into a double play
Any Giants pitcher walks a batter
Rich Aurillia fakes a bunt
Sandoval hits a ball no where near the strike zone
Brian Wilson puts the lead of man on.
Fred Lewis looks at strike 3

Chug a drink whenever

Bochy Double switches
Velez gets picked off (sadly no longer on roster)
Molina or Sandoval draws a walk
Aaron Rowand runs into something
Burriss gets an extra base hit- Giants get a runner to third with no outs and fail to score
Molina or Sandoval hit a triple (or inside the parker!)
Schierholtz gets into a game
Giants get a runner to third with no outs and fail to score

If no one gets to this yet, I want to see how much this would entail in drinking for a game. We’ll see tomorrow.

I feel like the Brian Wilson needs to be a chug just because it will be at the end of the game, so this just makes sure you’re hammered.

Also, I’m thinking you would only take about 15-20 “drinks” and then 1 or 2 “chugs” max.

Over a three hour game, I’d like to see somewhere along the lines for 50-60 “drinks” and 2-3 “chugs” so that you’d be feeling it by the end of the game.

I say add “A Giants player strikes out” as a drink, and move “Fred Lewis strikes out looking” to a “chug”

Another “chug” should be “A Giants player hits into a double play with runners on first and third (or bases loaded).”

Since we moved the Brian Wilson one to the “chug,” we should make a “drink” be “A Giants pitcher lets the lead off hitter on.”

LOL @...

I feel like the Brian Wilson needs to be a chug just because it will be at the end of the game

Wilson warrants a chug, for sure, but outside the context of the drinking game. I don’t consider Wilson entering the game to be the end, but merely a bridge from Affeldt to whomever replaces Wilson after a 4-2 game has turned into a tie.

FWIW, the collective face of McCoven when Wilson enters:

Addendum:

Take a drink whenever:

Every out Sanchez records after the fifth inning

Krukow “eliminates” somebody

Chug a drink whenever:

Anytime a Giants catcher throws out a would be base stealer

I thought the point of drinking games was to get drunk

- Molina or Sandoval draws a walk

this will be the least used one.

A buddy and I played a Mike Krukow drinking game once. We just took a drink any time he said one of his little catchphrases – “country hardball”, “grab some pine”, “meat” (“grab some pine meat” meant TWO drinks), “duck snort”, etc. There was a whole page of them.

Oddly, we didn’t drink that much. Maybe Krukow was usually subdued that night. We never tried it again.

Also, drink any time Kuip makes an observation and Kruk repeats it for emphasis before Kuip has even finished. Those guys have their timing down better than Abbott and Costello.

Has anybody else noticed Krukow’s getting increasingly bitter about pitch counts? It’s a good thing he and Flemming rarely work together, or else there’d be a 32-year-old Stanford alum flying out of the booth the first time Flemming said, “And that’s the FORTIETH PITCH for Lincecum, and we’re still in the SECOND INNING.”
