The beginning of the Buster Posey era: anti-climactic.
The sequel to Bowkermania 2009: like Die Hard 2 compared to Die Hard 1.
The Giants losing 3-0 to one of the ugliest lineups I've ever seen: Priceless. :')
Sorry for the apparent lack of mods again. I went to the game with the Mayor, as well as the "Chalk Talk" with Brian Sabean before the game. I'm going to write it up in a fanpost shortly.
Spoiler Alert!!!!

I was busy getting drunk at Nick’s Crispy Tacos. I watched most of the game there. Depressing.

Nick was forced out of the Original Nick’s Crispy Tacos, bummed around for a while bartending, and then teamed up with Underdogs Bar cause they had a kitchen and weren’t using it. The food is killer, I’ve caught a few games there, mostly have playing disc golf in GGP.

Really?
Velez was extremely late to the bag and received the feed with his hips open towards the left field foul pole. This means he had to spin more than the usual quarter revolution to square up to throw to first. Most of the second-basemen in my (extremely mediocre) baseball league can pull that off better than Eugene, and most of them are 10-20 years older.

Somebody needs to cut through all the fucking Pandamonium and give our cuddwy , goofy , ohsocute widdle third baseman a dopeslap about his hacking at outside pitches. The league is on to him , why is he acting like it’s a goddamned secret?

Sandoval in September: .288 / .367 / .425. 1 home run, 1 triple, 6 doubles. 10 walks, 11 strike outs.
That’s down from his prior performance, but it’s still a pretty good line for a 23 year old in his first season in the majors – and it’s better than pretty much anyone else on the team has done this year.
I don’t think he’s really the problem.

I thought Velez did one of those Orlando Hudson jobs where he took the throw, stepped back off of second base and then threw the ball. Note to Velez. That only works when Bengie Molina hits the ball.

That was an absolutely hideous turn by Velez. I thought Uribe was a little slow getting it to him, but Velez looked as though he’s never had to make that throw before.
BTW, I saw a slo-mo of that play after the game and he was, in fact, safe at first. Which is what I thought seeing it live, even though I booed with everyone else.

This is one case where I don’t blame the Giants players that much. When they took the first pitch, it was usually strike one. Sure, they swung at some bad pitches, but mostly I think Zambrano really was dealing tonight. He hasn’t shown it this year, but the guy has been among the best pitchers in baseball in the past. It’s not any particularly great sin to get obliterated by him.
This whole theory would be easier to buy, I realize, if guys like Chris Young hadn’t gone through eight innings against the Giants on like 66 pitches.

But I’m guessing someone said: Hey Buster, here is a puppy. He he said: “I’m going to put this in my fly and look very serious”. Comedy was different back then.

Raiders game blacked out
I’m confused about why this happens. I get that they didn’t sell out, but when you have a sport in which teams play ONE game per week, how can you not televise it? If that happened with the Niners, I’d seriously consider finding a new team.

And also, in this economy, don’t you think the NFL should relax its blackout rule a bit? Do you really think that Detroit with its 28% unemployment is gonna sell out even one game this year? (Although to be fair, it may be more of a service to NOT make the locals watch the Lions play this year.)

They refuse to lift the rule even for just one season. Jacksonville is likely to have all 8 home games blacked out.

That was a very depressing game
It was the McCoven jinx game, I think. Almost the dream McCoven lineup, and Carlos Zambrano 2004 Edition shows up. All the young players looked like garbage, including (debatable) defensive lapses by Posey and Bowker leading directly to Cubs runs.
I think it was the worst game (out of 50 or so) that I’ve been to since this one. And that one sucked because the Giants sucked, but also it was like 50 degrees and drizzling the whole game. This one the weather was good, but that was really the only thing that went right.

There are a lot of Cubs fans everywhere you go, but this is also part of the AT&T/Pacbell Park effect—it’s a huge tourist attraction, as well as pricey which makes it attractive for season ticket holders to sell off.

Botchy's postgame
Don’t ask why I watched this, but I did… there were several very awkward silent moments. Including one where Botchy clicked his teeth together repeatedly, staring at the back wall (or maybe Ray Ratto had a halfshirt on).
Question: “Is Buster playing tomorrow?”
Botchy: (sighing slightly) “Yeah.”

Bochy sounds somewhat like
what the French called the Nazis in WWII and i respect him just as much. How’s that for syntax? Anyway, Bochy managed it perfectly in his apparent hatred of all things Buster – the pitchers Posey will face in the next 4 games – the Cubs Ferguson Jenkins, the Cubs Don Cardwell when he threw a no-hitter those many years ago, and going for the D-Backs, their Randy Johnson and tea-bagger Curt Schilling, after which Bochy can say that Buster can’t hit major league pitching and insist he be sent down for more seasoning, as in 2 or 3 more seasons, while we sing an even fatter, even slower, even more non-discriminating at the plate Molina brother. Why not just sign Alfred Molina (loved him in Boogie Nights) and Judith Molina (NY experimental theater) and get it over with?
