Post-Game Recap: Giants Lose, Water is Wet

PrintA thorough recap after the jump....
After Yunel Escobar hit a three-run homer, I turned the game off and watched The State.
What did you do after Escobar's home run? I'm curious. I'm sure some of you went for a walk, read a book, or talked with a loved one. You missed a doozy. The Giants scored one run more than their season average and made it really close.

I watched a new episode of this season’s Weeds. I haven’t liked the show as much since they left the suburbs.
I’ve enjoyed where they’ve gone with it. But I have a feeling that one of the main characters will be killed at the seasons end.

If by corner infielders you mean 2 OFs that can hit, 2B that can do anything at all, healthy SS with range, catcher that hits and a 1B that can lay off of down-and-in breaking balls (or anyone in the line up that can for that matter), then YES I agree.

I give Kuiper a hard time
I was watching a little of Cardinals-Astros yesterday. Bases were loaded with Carlos Lee up. Cardinals play by play: “deep…….grand slam” nothing then Blum hits “back to back”. The guy said NOTHING else.
the best at that is the Arizona announcer, Darren Sutton. You can just hear him die when the other team hits yet another homerun off of their shitty bullpen. After hearing him exalt when they beat the Giants’ these past few years, it’s great.

rare monster capturing is a pain in the nuts but I was doing it in between commercials until the HR. Then I thought chasing Master Tonberries down sounded delightful and ceased watching the game.
Watch out San... oh, wait, Sadowski... uhh... [fifth starter], uncle Pucetas is comin' for you.
What's going to happen if the Giants suck on McCoven night??
Will we all just move to the bar?? We can’t just turn the channel to watch something else.
They sucked last McCoven night
Most of us stayed for the whole game because hey, we were at a baseball game!

Sabean is going to do something to excite us by the trade deadline. It’s probably going to make us angry in the long run, but when the player(s) get here and the team starts winning, we’re going to be thrilled.
Proud new dad of Edgardo errr Edgar Renteria!!!
that’s not true. They’ve done STUPID things in the past, like trade for Shea Hindenburg. But before that they actually did good deadline deals, like Jason Schmidt and the White Flag Sale of ’97.

don’t forget Ellis Burks. He changed that whole lineup, and Sidney Ponson didn’t do what he was expected to do, but a lot of fans thought he was our ticket to the World Series, and that kind of acquisition fires up the team even when it ultimately fails. I know it’s before Sabean, but when the first place Giants picked up Don Robinson and Rick Reuschel at the trade deadline one year, I almost thought it wasn’t fair. They were already running away with the division. Our big advantage over the Rockies right now is that we have money to spend right now and can add payroll and they can’t.
Proud new dad of Edgardo errr Edgar Renteria!!!

What's the infatuation with Downs?
Can anyone, anyone tell me what the Giants see in Downs? Why isn’t Frandsen getting a chance. Heck, it’s a year for people getting chances. Lewis, Ishikawa, Scheirholz, Bowker, Downs, Sadowski. Why not Frandsen?

being a hometown guy means you have to prove yourself more than regular players. That means Frandsen has to hit .400 in the majors every game to stay up. other than that, I got nothing.

Bleacherreport had an article about the whole situation basically saying how do we truly know about frandsen after only so few at bats and all. Yea we should just basically put the guy in there and let him play it out for 20 games, screw it, Sabean basically spent all that money on Edgar just not even caring about Frandsen…. cmon
my main problem is
they gave Burriss how many at bats to prove he sucked? A lot (200+). Frandsen should get at least that many. He’s more versatile + he’s proven he can hit at all levels + he’s improved his defense = he deserves a fucking shot to prove he belongs here. Their MIStreatment of him is appalling.

by the way here’s the article: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/222259-sf-giants-matt-downs-got-an-extended-look-why-didnt-kevin-frandsen
it’s not like Matt Downs has had an extended look either, but Franny’s career minor league numbers are way better, he’s more versatile and better on defense and he should have won the job in ST. But the article is right about the revolving door. I don’t mind seeing Uribe get some starts and when he was hitting well, sure, play him, but this season is a rebuilding season, contending be damned, and it is an absolute waste not to give young guys an extended look at 2nd base, especially when we’ve gotten nothing out of that position.

Road to Glory has ridiculous load times, I got sick of it after my 10th practice followed by 45 sec. of loading.
Gameplay is quite good, but the college atmosphere is generic.

Bruce Bochy would like you to look at the career numbers and stop complaining.
He’s in the high-altitude wing of that club.

He’s pretty frickin awesome. He deserved the MVP in 2000.

Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...
After seeing how little the Bucs got from Boston
for LaRoche, and knowing they have the chance to undo some damage with a strong series in Colorado (without Marquis now), don’t be surprised if Sabean pulls the trigger on something in the next 24 hours.

Anyway, I was gonna say before Manny went deep:
I think Epstein embarrassed Sabean with that trade. Also, Sabean won’t be able to give away too much in a trade with the Pirates now or risk looking like he wasn’t as clever as Eptstein.

Manny’s pinch hit just outscored the Giants total for the last week.

All I got to say 1951
Giants came back from 13 and a half down in August to catch the Dodgers, so anything is possible (I’ve been watching the Shot Heard Around the World doc on HBO to help me forget this road trip)
Granted, the 1951 team had Thomson, Mays and Irvin.
Sandoval, Ishikawa and Schierholtz doesn’t exactly have the same ring.

Giants are obviously already stealing catcher’s sign at home.
There is no other explanation for the offense they put up at home vs on the road.

Make Aurilia hide out in the Coke bottle. He has to be good for something

He can’t even see the ball when it’s right in front of him. How’s he gonna see the catcher’s fingers 500 feet away? Cmon now.
Good point…Lewis maybe? He’s good at seeing pitches.

what did I do?
kept sitting in the seats I paid 50 bucks for. Wow was that a waste of money to see Timmy’s second shortest outing. The 9 K’s were nice though. And the weather was pleasant too.

Most underrated episode.. Porcupine Racetrack.
Baggs sez
Eli Whiteside will NOT catch Zito. Bengie remains in the lineup. For the 2304 (that’s me say this) time, Bochy has changed his mind this season.
with the past 2 pitching performances in mind, i would rather have whiteside in the lineup if that’s what it takes to have him behind the plate calling pitches

Random Trade Proposal
Because thinking about this team as constructed is painful.
I would actually like to see this trade:
UTIL Kevin Frandsen, LF Fred Lewis, SP Scott Barnes, SP Kevin Pucetas for 2B Freddy Sanchez, UTIL Delwyn Young.
Also, If the Giants really wanted Nick Johnson, Maybe Espinelli and Matos would get it done.

Useless detritus for major league talent?
Yes, please

I dunno. Frandsen is useless to the Giants because they choose not to play him regularly. The Pirates would. I like Scott Barnes as a pitching prospect, and I’m higher on Pucetas then most. As for Lewis he’s more valuable to other teams than to the Giants

Turned game off after homerun and played my frustrations out on Punch-out for the Wii that I picked up this last week. Must say, fun game but I am thinking it probably is more of a rental as I whipped through the first 5 guys last night. Broke a sweat though and felt much better afterwards.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
