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:

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.”
