Revisiting a Giants victory over the Dodgers: Always a good thing

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people refer to games before the end of September as "must-win games." It's everyone's pet peeve, actually. Another one of my pet peeves is when people point out that it's their pet peeve when people refer to games before the end of September as "must-win games." I hate that. So this post is off to a good start.
In 2007, though, someone surely called one of the games in the middle of an eight-game losing streak a "must win" for the Rockies. And the Rockies lost. And the Rockies made the playoffs. This is important to note, as the Rockies never lost again. Look it up. So when the worst case scenario was that the Giants would have ended yesterday just two full games back from a playoff spot, it would be ridiculous to say it was a "must-win" game.
So there needs to be something in between "must win" and "just another game." There needs to be a phrase or a term that captures a game like yesterday's. The Giants...
- Dropped the first two games against a hated division rival, looking as bad as they have all season
- Had their best pitcher on the mound, facing a cavalcade of long relievers because one of the Dodgers' best pitchers missed a start
- Started a bench-clearing ruckus (just a wee unnecessarily), which fired up the fans and, apparently, Edgar Renteria
- Were hosed by calls all series at first base, and the most crucial blown call of the series led to Tim Lincecum giving up the lead in the ninth inning
- Left 12,349 runners on base throughout the afternoon
- Grounded into an inning-ending double play in the bottom of the ninth after a leadoff triple was stretched into a leadoff double
So if Juan Uribe does the standard Juan Uribe thing and makes an out in the tenth, and if the Dodgers score a run off of Jeremy Affeldt in the eleventh, it would probably have been the worst loss of the season. It might have been the worst loss of the past five seasons, dating back to the Cody Ransom/Wayne Franklin/Dustin Hermanson debacle.
It wasn't a must-win, though. Not technically. It would take one four-game winning streak to forget about the series. But my fingers twitch and fight me when I try to avoid typing "must win" in reference to this game. I mean, it was a total must-win. They needed to win. Except they weren't eliminated with a loss yesterday.
This is an open thread to coin a term or a phrase. How can we refer to these games in the future? The only thing I can think of is "A game that isn't a 'must-win' if you want to be a government lawyer about it, but I wouldn't be surprised to watch the entire team and fanbase go into a spiralling vortex of depression and doom if they were to lose this crucially timed contest", but I'm not sure if that's catchy enough.
And, yes, I know the caption is kind of sexist -- by insinuating that Russell Martin is a woman, I'm insinuating that there is something intrinsically wrong with being a woman, and that's not fair -- but it makes me laugh. Also, Russell Martin has ovaries, so it's not like there's really anything misleading about the caption. Suck it, Russell Martin.

Yeah, I can’t remember the specific episode but it was from the first few seasons. Bart was trying to get out of taking a test, so he fell out of his chair and said, “Ow, my ovaries!”
Later in the episode, an escaped wolf attacked him while he was making up the test.

My suggestion: “Better win game”. As in, “The Giants better win this game, or they’re gonna have win a bunch of games later.” It’s not sexy, but at least it’s accurate.

hopefully they’ll pay more attention to his league-leading strikeout total and ERA and overall nastiness, and not so much to an archaic stat.

But what if this costs Timmeh the Triple Crown? He’s already got ERA and K, and that would be just awful if he ends up with one less win than he needed to get it.
by quincy0191 on Aug 13, 2009 1:38 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I’m confident that The Baseball Gods won’t allow such insanity to continue, and punish Gary Darling with 109 foul tips his next time behind the plate.
But if he has 2 of the 3 parts of the triple crown, and is only one win behind whoever has more, he’ll still win the Cy Young again, and if he wins that many more games there’s a good chance the Giants are playing in October. I think any pitcher would give up a chance at a triple crown to go to the dance.

Some thoughts about my time away:
- I’ve been looking at some of the posts I’ve missed, and apparently I attended the McC night at the yard without being aware of it. I was in Field Club 109.
- About 3 minutes after I got to SF, I got lost. It was totally worth, though, because it made me pass by this guy.
- Also, during my time in SF, I discovered the horrible crime that is the Greg Papa show. Horrible. At some point he actually said “come to papa” and I threw up. Also, my “favorite” exchange from the show:
Stupid sportswriter: When you got a chance to get a player like Freddy Sanchez, you never let any prospect stand in the way.
Slightly less stupid sportswriter: So you would trade Bumgarner for Sanchez?
Stupid sportswriter: Well, depends what kind of player I’d get back.

You gotta love Frank. I showed up at the office one Halloween as Frank and after a brief silent pause, when I walked into the room, there was applause. Thunderous, bathe in it, great costume applause.
Later, someone suggested I get a bunch of Chinese guys together and do a Frank Chu drill team. Still on my list of grand plans.

There is, in fact, something wrong with being straight when you are gay, and vice versa. You are what you are. I don’t think I see your point.

I wouldn’t use it as a derogatory term period, because I see nothing wrong with being Jewish, but I could certainly joke about it with a Jewish person in the room, no problem. There’s a difference between making a joke and making a racist comment

So you wouldn’t use Jewish as a derogatory term, because you don’t think there’s anything wrong with being Jewish. And you wouldn’t (I’m assuming) use gay as a derogatory term, because you don’t think there’s anything wrong with being gay. But you would use woman as a derogatory term. Why? You say that it’s because there is something wrong with being a woman if you’re a man, but you could use the same logic for using anything as a derogatory term – there is some wrong with being gay if you’re straight, there’s something wrong with being Jewish if you’re not, etc. How is this any different?
I’m not accusing you of anything, by the way, I just don’t really see the logic behind your argument.

Almost anything can be turned into a derogatory term these days. It’s wrong, I agree, but I think it’s rare that a person uses the word “Jewish” in a truly hateful, tasteless way. The way I see it, any one who legitimately believes there is something wrong with being Jewish is harming his or herself more than anything.

back in the old days
(pre 70s) “jewing” someone meant cheating them. Because, you know, we’re good with money. But Jews used to be 2nd class citizens in the US (and worse in much of the world)
I think in this day and age, it’s really just sort of a silly insult because Jews aren’t really oppressed or marginalized (at least in 99% of the US). Calling someone or something “gay” is very different these days since gay people are actively persecuted in much of the US.

My argument was based off the assumption that it’s impossible for someone to be both gay and straight, or a man and a woman at the same time. Then I realized that this would open up a whole new can of worms and I tried to say it without saying it.
Nothing wrong with being a woman, but if you’re a man then you’re clearly not a woman, so there is something wrong with it. If some one directed a gay slur at me, it wouldn’t offend me because I’m not gay… If I were gay, though, it would certainly be derogotory, and I’d be offended. Anyway, This sounds ridiculous and I’m gradually losing my train of thought, so I’m just going to stop talking.

The thing that becomes a problem is less the idea that “if you’re a man, you’re clearly not a woman” physically but rather in the behavioral sense. And I think you’ll find that while men who act in ways that are considered “female” are nearly always referred to with negative female gendered insults (pussy, woman – on its own this clearly isn’t an insult, but you can’t tell me it isn’t used as one pretty damn often -, bitch, etc), women who act in ways that are considered male are… well usually referred to with negative female gendered insults too.
Uh, I don’t know if what I’m trying to get at is actually coming through here. I guess, I’m wondering, do you think that what you’re arguing is the case all the time – that insults that compare men to women in a derogatory way are always meant in a “men are not women” way and therein lies the insult? Because I’m just going to have to very strongly disagree with you. Perhaps it seems that way to you but from my viewpoint, it rarely, rarely comes off that way.

I’m confused, but I think I see what you’re saying. I made my original post on this topic based on the fact that the photo caption was clearly in no way sexist. It’s hard for me to generalize, but when I use terms like “bitch”, it’s in a joking way. There’s no need to get insulted by it. If a woman were to burp or fart or have body odor, some one might make a comment like, “wow, that was rathly manly of you” or “you’re such a dude”, because let’s be honest, men are stereotypically less clean and graceful (for lack of better words). I’m not insulted by it.
At the risk of sounding like a ten year old, I’ve jokingly called my friends “pussies”, but I’ve called them “dicks” as well. Sorry to sound so uncivilized, but it’s true.
One final point- I hate to say it, but women are often the enablers of the jackass guys out there. I don’t even have enough time to sit here and tell you about all the times I’ve seen a respectful guy (me) passed over for some asshole who really does think women are lesser beings than men. Then once everything blows up, they wonder why “all guys” are such jerks. I despise guys like that, but frankly, it works for them.

Why? probably because they like the confidence in them, but yea i can see where you’re going with that, because alot of the jerk guys at my school seem to get the hot girls.

Like Lars said above, nice guys are generally relegated to the friend zone. If nice guys are really assholes in disguise, why would women waste time being their friend? It’s sort of an oxymoron- there is really nothing nice about a guy who thinks he’s entitled to a woman. The problem is, nice guys are never given a chance.
There is a huge double standard when women say stuff like “all guys are just looking for sex”, or “guys just want women with big boobs”. No, not all guys are like that. The women who say things like that are just attracted to the guys who think like that.

Plus it sucks to constantly wonder when that friend is going to make a pass at me, because it’s going to happen. Maybe, just maybe, I’d like to be your friend and that’s it. You’ve done nothing wrong and it’s no insult if I don’t want to date you. Consider that my feelings and views on the subject are just as valid as yours, and my desire to be whatever I want to be with you is my choice.

I agree about everything
But just because a guy makes a pass on you doesn’t mean that he doesn’t realize that you can do whatever you want, it just means that the guy really hopes, or maybe even thinks, that you like like him. And because, and this is a good thing to remember, guys are absolutely terrible at understanding what women think and want, the only way to find out is to try.
Now if they’re being dicks about it, if they feel like they’re entitled to anything, etc., then that’s something else. But constantly being with someone you like and not doing anything about it is one of the hardest things in the world.

I wouldn’t quite say it’s a common scenario, though it’s more common than it should be, obviously.
Anyway, like I said, if the guy acts like a dick, then fine, he’s a dick. If you, at best, get called a cunt whenever you reject a friend, your friends are morons. But you seem to be saying that any guy who ever makes a pass on any woman is automatically a dick, because maybe (odds are that) the woman doesn’t want to date him. You don’t actually believe that, do you?

Of course I don’t think that every guy who makes a pass at a woman is a jerk. I don’t like the notion that a woman saying no gives a man a reason (in his mind) to behave negatively towards her. It’s like I (for the sake of an example) am automatically a cunt for saying no thank you. That’s not okay.
This discussion has veered way off the original tangent. I also loathe guys who are dickheads and continue to get women to date them despite (or maybe because of) them being dickheads. It boggles my mind how abusive/sexist/chauvinist bastards are rewarded for their behavior. If you ask me, they should have their genitals cut off and hung on a pike outside their homes as an example of the incorrect way to act.

Like I said, obviously that notion is inexcusable. My only point was that just because a lot of guys become (or reveal that they are) dicks after making a move and being rejected, that does not mean that there’s something wrong with making a move. Just because a certain action has lead some types of people to do bad things, that doesn’t mean that there is something inherently wrong with that action. But you’ve already agreed with that, so we’re cool.

It matters how you define male and female characterisitcs
Nothing wrong with being a woman, but if you’re a man then you’re clearly not a woman, so there is something wrong with it.
I know you didn’t say or mean to say what I’m about to talk about, but it is a general problem (I think). If I call a man a woman because I mistake him from behind due to his long conditioned hair, and don’t mean any ill by it – that’s probably fine, and I think that is what you are saying. If I call a sports teem a “bunch of girls” because I think girls suck at sports , then that’s getting kind of insulting. Do girls suck at sports because compared to grown men they are smaller and weaker – okay. Do girls suck at sports because they tend to play less sports than boys – probably okay. Do girls suck at sports because they don’t have the drive, don’t have courage, or are otherwise “womanly” rather than “manly” and gamertastic? That is insulting and derogatory and betrays a biased gender worldview.
It gets worse with other derogatory slurs. U R GAY! Why is it bad to be gay? Unholy sexual orientation? Sinning? Effeminate demeanor? (I can’t help thinking of the film Idiocracy here.) Being poor at sports? or even worse because homosexuality is often linked to child-molestation in some wackjobs’ minds? U R 5! Why is it bad to be five? Immature – seems fine and generally true.
If someone mistook me for gay – happened plenty of times based on the groups I’ve hung with, the people I’ve worked for, and probably the way I act towards women, I haven’t been insulted. “Haha, I’m not gay – not that there is anything wrong with that!” On the other hand when people have used gay in a derogatory way around me, I have been insulted – personally and socially. First, what about my actions have made me the target for abuse? And second, what is about my actions or “gayness” that is so bad in a more general/soceity way?
At my highschool, “jewed” meant being ripped off or cheap. We hadn’t progressed to insulting gays yet I guess. But , using the term “Jew” to refer to someone that wasn’t a Jew (or even was a Jew) was almost always meant as a slur and insult. “You know, that Jewish guy really does act like a Jew.” Clearly derogatory to the individual and the group based on a negative stereotype. “You know that man, he’s like a woman.” – Caring and compassionate? Emotional and empathetic? Bitchy and drama? Eats salad instead of steak. All stereotypes and all unfair. A father can’t be caring and compassionate without being a woman? Women are all bitchy – unless you are lucky and find the rare one that likes sports too? Only rabbits and women eat salad?

Very well said.
I would add that often times the insult is in the eye of the beholder. For example, if you want to get under the skin (for whatever reason) of a homophobe, then by all means call him “gay”. In that instance, I (as the insulter) don’t attribute any negative connotations to homosexuality but HE (as the insultee) sure does. Thus the “effectiveness” of the insult. The intention is not to disparage gay people but rather to simply annoy an ignorant person.
The same logic applies, IMHO, to Grant’s caption. Nothing wrong with having ovaries…but I bet Suck it Russell Martin would be highly offended at the thought that somehow he wasn’t the “he-man” he thought he was.
I think it gets a little more slippery when talking of racial or anti-semitical epithets.

Do girls suck at sports because they don’t have the drive, don’t have courage, or are otherwise "womanly" rather than "manly" and gamertastic? That is insulting and derogatory and betrays a biased gender worldview.
Idk, it seems like this would be playing to an insecurity. I must be just naive, because I’ve never assumed that those terms meant “cowardly” or “without drive”. To say that in general, women are not as good at sports as men, is pretty much stating facts… It’s why men and women compete in seperate events and seperate sports.

I don’t know if you’re naive but I think you’ve got a bit of male privilege going on here. In my experience, female insults are used a lot in reference to people who are perceived as being “cowardly” or “without drive” or whatever. In fact, it’s fucking everywhere. You might not notice it but I sure do.

calling a man a woman
in this context (mocking athleticism or toughness) is like calling them a pussy, but in a less crude manner.
Also like saying “he has sand in his vagina”.
It’s pretty offensive and borderline misogynistic, because it implies women have these qualities which are undesirable.
Oddly enough, “be a man” seems OK, but I think that’s because it’s short for “be a man, not a boy” (as opposed to girl)

I think people need to lighten up or grow thicker skin. A few months ago, an African-American guy at my school told me that deep down, all black people know that all white people are racists no matter how nice they act. I know I’m not a racist, so why get offended?

K and K totally blew the call on that whole deal
If they don’t understand they shouldn’t try to make the ump look bad. Panda swung at the pitch, so it was a strike regardless of whether it hit him or not. K and K were all, “they called it a foul ball,” and “Sandoval was ejected..” Both wrong. But they repeated the wrong information over and over.
Just got a lot of fans at home upset for no reason.

Well, I can’t say that I really gave the Bee too much of a chance – only the freebeies they toss out every now and then but they never made an impression.
However, I grew up in the SF media market, but moved to Davis (where we get Sac affiliates) for school. The first year or so I went through pretty serious withdrawal, and can’t take the local news seriously, so I’m really disenchanted with all Sac news outlets.
The final straw was a restaurant review of a place in Davis, where they sang the praises for a poor restaurant with crap service and hack owner.

we got dodger bum raped by the umps and it seemed all was lost and then Uribe closed his eyes and swung as hard as he could and it ended up 20 rows deep. Hopefully we can take some momentum on the road.

If this happened in 2008, I would be pissed that Timmy got cheated out of a win against the Umpgers since he was the only bright spot of that season and could jeopardize his CY chances. However, this year is different – this Giants actually have a shot of playing more than 162 games and every W is cherished especially against the 1st place team.
I’d still like Timmy to get a 2nd CY but I’m sure he wants the hardware with the little pennants on it more.

We've played great at home, and sucked on the road. That changes now
1) The Mets are hurtin’, and have sucked all season. They’re basically Red Sox-lite—old and bloated and rich.
2) On to Cincy. Payback’s a bitch.
3) Then the Rox. And the next round of must-win games.

Schierholtz is back—Winn sits.
Uribe plays at least some of the time at short.

Before the season starts
NFW it goes longer than MAYBE week 1. I can’t see a guy like him leaving college early then sitting out a whole year. He’ll fire his agent and make him out to be the bad guy. He’s too good and too eager to play to sit out a whole year. And the 49ers WILL NOT give in to him. Even with Jones’ injury they can survive at WR without him. He has absolutely no leverage in this situation.

Yep, the WR core this year is the best one in years, but you’re right he has no leverage, and dude, there’s absolutely no way he will sit out, and the family just wants him to get ALL the money possible because the family members want the money you know, at least that’s what it sounds like, the whole situation is BS but i heard Raji signed so that’s big
by PiKAgiant on Aug 13, 2009 7:03 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yup
when it gets down to it, and his money is ACTUALLY on the line, then he’ll sign. Rookies don’t get paid until they start playing real games, so he’s not technically losing money, unless he would have had workout bonuses in his contract.
All he’s doing right now is screwing himself over for the regular season, which sucks, but what’re you gonna do. I was hoping he’d be ready to go for when I see them week 3 here in minnesota, but it looks like I’ll be watching Morgan instead. Fine with me.

I usually call these games “Please fucking win games”, at least in my head.
As in, that’s my post if I’m here and my thought if I’m not. I don’t care how, just win the damn game.

McCoven will be represented tonight in the Citi House. I’ll be in full Juan Marichal regalia, ready to risk thrown beer and dogs and parking lot damage to my black Jeep w/ SF tirecover (the only one on this coast, for sure), and PUMPED to outheckle any spaz Mutts geek
BRING IT ON!
