Giants/Dodgers Series Preview

Click this link. Do it. Don't mouse over like a weenie, find out where the link sends you, and then avoid it. Click the link, and let the horror wash over you. Wayne Franklin. Cody Ransom. Dustin Hermanson's sideburns. Unfortunate man-buzzard, Steve Finley. That was the last meaningful game played between the Giants and Dodgers.
That was the last meaningful game played between the Giants and Dodgers.
Well, every Giants/Dodgers game has a special kind of aura. When the Giants were on their way to 91 losses, I still did a dorky fist pump for every one of the 18 hits in the last game of the 2007 season. Why? Because suck it Dodgers. That's why. And it's hard to call a game meaningless when at least one of the teams is still in contention.
But other than those stray, Joe-Morgan-in-a-bottle hopes of schadenfreude, the Giants haven't gone into a Dodgers series with anything at stake since 2004. The mind boggles. Four years of sub-.500 nothingness. Four years of hoping Rajai Davis was the next Torii Hunter, or that Lance Niekro was the next, uh, Ron Coomer. I think I speak for everyone here when I suggest that this is the biggest series in the history of baseball.
An aside: if you haven't looked at Barry Bonds's numbers from 2004 in a while, they're good for a few laughs.
Hitter to watch:
Not one of the Dodgers, that's for sure. When they're not taking drugs or eating veal right off the bone of a living calf, the Dodgers can hit a little bit. But I'm not going to single one of them out. The Dodger roster is an amorphous blob of dark matter, and I don't care if Manny Ramirez or Blake DeWitt is up -- I fear and loathe each of them equally. My Samoan lawyer concurs.
The Giants hitter to watch: all of them. Like, score some runs, you goofballs. Randy Winn: You start on one of your silly 35-for-77 runs. Bengie Molina: You hit the ball in the air if you aren't going to get a hit. Eugenio Velez: Do not recant your pledge to give up your soul until after the series. Ryan Garko: Hit better than Scott Barnes, please. Score some runs. Score some freaking runs. Hey, Giants, score some runs. Score more runs than the other team. If you score more runs than the other team, you will win. So score some runs.
Also, I am of the opinion that the Giants should score some runs.
Pitcher to watch:
The Giants miss Clayton Kershaw -- though Bengie Molina just swung at one of Kershaw's sliders as I was typing this -- so they'll face Hiroki Kuroda, Randy Wolf, and Chad Billingsley. They all scare me in their own way. Kuroda and Wolf are finesse lefties who thrive on stupid hitting, and Chad Billingsley is a power rightie who can overmatch bad-to-average hitters. As long as the Giants keep the stupid, bad-to-average hitters out of the lineup, they'll be fine.
The pitcher to watch, though, is Jonathan Sanchez. Since coming back to the rotation, Sanchez has been pretty danged good. After the no-hitter, he's had a few struggles staying in games, but his slider is a different pitch entirely. It's absolutely nasty right now, and if he can exhibit even a modicum of control, his results should match his stuff. I'd love for him to make some Dodger hitters look silly.
Or, he could walk seven in three innings, getting pulled after the game is out of reach. Don't want to hear the Sanchez-for-Joe-Carter rumors in the offseason, Jonathan? The no-hitter was a good start, but a fantastic stretch-run finish would mean even more.
Prediction:
I have a sack full of kittens, Giants. I have the number for Felines for Foster Kids, a non-profit organization that places kittens in loving homes. I also have a way to close the sack, and I also have access to the Pacific Ocean. What happens to the sack of kittens is up to you, Giants. Do not displease me.
Wait, that's more of a threat than a prediction. My prediction is that I'll look like Keith Richards after this series is over. I can't take this.

The “fans” in (triple A D’Backs) Reno attempt to do the wave almost every home game. It generally gets stopped in section 115, our season ticket section. There are a group of us (Giant’s, A’s, Cubs, and a single Dodger Fan) that vehemently oppose the wave. It’s a thing of beauty to see it make it’s way around the park and fail at section 115.

Romeo and Juliet, to me
was always about the stupidity of the adults. It was the stupid decisions that the adults made that led to Romeo and Juliet’s death.
I kind of viewed it as a critique of how society can ruin other peoples’ lives.

I always suspected that Shakespeare was making fun of young love with that play.
Think about it, Mercutio’s lines always feel the truest in that play, and he likes Romeo, but also thinks he’s an idiot.

Don Quixote is a great book, but full of painfully long, dull digressions that don’t really add anything to the book.
The Giants are a great franchise, but full of painfully old, bad veterans who don’t really add anything to the lineup.

One of my favorite Giants-Dodgers games
http://www.baseball-almanac.com/box-scores/boxscore.php?boxid=199909290SFN
Next to last game ever played at Candlestick. Tommy Lasorda made a pre-game appearance so we got to boo him out of the park, Crazy Crab was in the house, Bonds hit a first inning homer, the Giants jumped all over Kevin Brown (who’d previously dominated them – I don’t think they’d ever beaten Brown before)….and noted megastar Bronswell Patrick got his first major league save. It was a night game at Candlestick, but even the weather was nice!

tommy was waving to the fans from the luxury boxes along the third base side around the 5th inning or so. everyone was giving him hell and he was soaking it up like he always does. that is, until someone hucked a wad of sourdough that came close to being sucked in by his gravitational pull, barely missing him. i will never forget the look on his face before he disappeared into the catacombs of candlestick to a chorus of cheers. when the cops came to escort the godly thrower from the stadium, i felt that san francisco’s finest were committing treason.

I really wouldn’t mind Harang. He’s got stuff, and I think his 08 season was just a really bad bump in the road. If they could get him without giving up much, I’d like the deal.

I totally agree. You’d think we wouldnt have to give up much, considering no one wanted the contract. His FIP is around 4.00, so he’d be a fantastic addition for this year, and a great replacement for Johnson next year.

Harang, yes, quick before he flies too far away.

Wouldn’t it be more likely the Dodgers do a trade for starting pitching? I’m hoping they give up a LOT.

Sorry, it’s just that I’ve never been. Jealousy is a stinky cologne.
