I liked this video 2 days ago, and I’ve already seen it pop up annoyingly in so many places since then that I think its quickly becoming our stupid rally monkey.

I'll say this
Journey sucks. However, I’ve previously made allowance for “When the Lights Go Down in the City” because it’s about San Francisco, which I love. And now I’ve pretty much reached a state of acceptance of “Don’t Stop Believin’,” thanks to Steve Perry’s appearance at the park last week. He really did light the place up, and I can’t hate on that.
warning
“Lights” was not originally written about SF. But at least he fixed it before recording.

Question for the McCoven regarding tickets
So my buddy and I want to go to at least 1 NLCS game at AT&T, and would prefer Wednesday or Thursday, since it’s closer to pay day, which should we go to?
Game 4 could have Bumgarner or Lincecum starting, and for the Phils, Blanton or Halladay. And Game 5, likely could be Lincecum – Halladay. I have a hard time believing the Giants would start Lincecum on 3 days rest unless they absolutely had to, as in they were down 3-0. So there’s that. I wish they had the stupid schedule out because the thought of a day game makes it likely impossible for me to go to a game, though I could just sell my ticket for profit…any thoughts/suggestions? Should I just wait until after the Rays-Rangers game/schedule is released?
are the phillies
going to a 4 man rotation? I think they will go Halladay, Oswalt, Hamels, Halladay, Oswalt, Hamels, Halladay.
and the giants will stay with a 4 man unless it’s an elimination game.

ok. good stuff.
I thought they had some young kid named like Bastardo or something as a 4th starter. hmm..
by kezargiants on Oct 11, 2010 11:49 PM PDT up reply actions
So we decided
Game 5 is the best bet, given that the ALCS won’t be played on the same day, so it will probably be a 5:30ish start I’m guessing. Anyone know what Stubhub’s policy is for games that don’t get played? Say if there was a sweep :(

How does McCC feel about the Ross/Nate/Burrell late inning switch?

I was not a huge fan of the switch in game 3 considering that spot in the order was going to bat at least once more.
Leaving Burrell in to run was the right choice yesterday, and once the inning was over putting in Nate was fine. I’m not in love with it, but I can understand it.
Thing C
Opposite for me. If speed & defense are vital enough in a tight game to swap out Burrell for Schierholtz (I don’t think they are, but whatever), you have to leverage that difference by making the switch when there’s a nontrivial chance of squeezing out an extra run on the basepaths.
Yeah, I thought that was strange. But leaving Burrell in there allowed Bochy to put Casilla in his spot in the order and then put Nate in the game in the pitcher’s spot. As it happens, it (probably) cost a run, but I understood the logic. I suppose they could have used Lincecum as a pinch runner, but is he (or Sanchez) faster than Burrell?
Well, you don’t want to get Lincecum or Sanchez into a play at the plate. Zito, maybe.
The double switch adds value, but he could’ve put the pitcher in Fontenot’s spot instead. In fact, why didn’t he?
(checks box score, play-by-play)
As near as I can tell, you’re right. He could have pinch-run with Schierholtz, had Rowand hit for Fontenot, left Schierholtz in the game, put Casilla in Rowand/Fontenot’s spot, and replaced Bumgarner with Renteria. That would have been better.
The only thing I can think of is that he was originally going to have Renteria bat for Fontenot and stay in the game, but changed his mind and decided to go with Rowand and forgot that if he did that he could use that spot for the pitcher.
I like the way Bochy has been doing the defense subs earlier and earlier. So once Burrell was on base, that’s time for Nate. ALSO, Nate has been hitting some.

he won't be in the NLCS
Giants will take one more pitcher (probably Zito) due to the longer series…Rowand will probably be the odd man out
I wonder if he even watched the game...
…and if he turned it on, thought for a second, “wait, which team am I on again?”

Had to post this in the "post, post , post " game thread.
Email I sent to my buddies in sf after Friday nights game…seems like eternity ago.
Just read this drunken email I sent to my buddies in SF after Fridays game…
Seems like forever ago…
Subject: It wasn’t supposed to happen like this
The baseball god(s) were smiling on us and the ghosts of David Ekstein, Rob Nen, and Troy Glaus were just distant memories (wait, Troy Glaus was in the fing game last night? Your fucking with me right?).
Anyway, wanted to give you fellows a chronology of my night as a lonely giants fan in LA.
7pm – Matt Cain is amazing, I’m drinking a fresh glass of delicious Ice tea with my girl and 2 cats…going to be a quite night.
8pm – Pat the bat has hit a 3 run homer and I’ve decided to reward myself for being such a loyal fan with a nice glass of Pinot. Life is good and Cain is cruising. I have a large pizza in front of me and my girlfriend is giving me a great foot massage…
9pm – 8th inning bitches! Romo is about to come in and this thing is all but over…I’m going to head out to the bar in Venice with a couple of friends for a celebratory drink. I’ll just put my giants hat on and order a ta——WHAT THE FUCK??? Atl just scored a run and there are runners at the corners…I should probably have a shot of a tequila before I leave…just in case.
10 pm (at unnamed bar in Venice) – I have got to stop using alcohol to calm my nerves…I’ve just had 2 soco and lime shots and I’m drinking Corona with a patron back. Good news is that the bases are loaded with one out and BUSTER FREAKING POSEY is up…I would like to thank all of the Braves fans for playing…
Only thing that Buster could absolutely NOT do right now is ground into a rally ending double play but that is not likely…not in his DNA. Fuck me. I need another drink.
Sometime later – I am yelling at the lone braves fan in the bar and buying him multiple shots of well vodka with the desperate hope that he
A) Projectile vomits on his date in the bar
B) Gets pulled over for a DUI on the way home
C) In a poor attempt to execute an aggressive Tomahawk chop, his arm becomes permanently dislodged from its socket
He does not comply and worse yet, he thinks that we are now friends. I assure him we are not as I order myself a shot of wild turkey with a Black on the rocks back. I am angry.
I want to say that this night ended well(unlike the Giants game that proceeded it) but that would be a lie. A loss in football is swift: You lose, you punch yourself in the face (or someone else) and everyone goes home for sunday night dinner with the family. Baseball is different. A loss (like last night) is more like…well…Torture.

Enter POSEY
ROWAND
O that we now had here
But one more hit with RISP in San Francisco
That we’d be up 2-0 to-day!
KING POSEY XXVIII
What’s he that wishes so?
My teammate Wallnoseand? I ain’t havin’ it, my fair-to-poor cousin:
If we are mark’d to lose, we’ll pitch well enow
To Torture the McCoven; and if to live,
The fewer runs, the greater share of honour.
God’s will! I pray thee, wish not one run more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for series sweeps,
Nor care I who doth jump on or off my bandwagon;
It yearns me not if men my jerseys wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires:
But if it be a sin to covet a storybook World Series run,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my schnozz, wish not a win from Game Two:
God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one easy win more, methinks, would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Wallnoseand, through my locker room,
That Guillen, who hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made
And the Royals’ money for convoy put into his purse:
We would not lose in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to lose with us.
This day is called the feast of Clarkian:
Fans that outlive this day and the next, and see us come safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse them at the name of Clarkian.
The fan Tortured these next two days, yet sees the NLCS,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Clarkian:’
Then will he strip his sleeve and show the spot Huff was HBP by Farnsworth.
And say ‘that was in a scoreless game with the bases loaded on Clarkin’s day.’
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But fans will remember with quickly-deleted YouTube videos
What feats we did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in their mouths as household words
Posey the king, Burrell and Torres,
Wilson and Romo, Sanchez and Bumgarner or possibly Lincecum,
Be in their flowing microbrews freshly remember’d.
This story shall the good fan teach his son;
And Clarkin Clarkian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember’d;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that wins this game with me
Shall be my brother; though he yells that a woman’s pussy is jealous,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And pessimist fans in San Francisco now a-bummin’
Shall think themselves accursed they were not watching us here,
And hold their manhoods as cheap as we do Favre’s whiles any speaks
That cheered for us upon Saint Clarkin’s day.

Fun fact: the Phillies are .006 points lower in OPS against lefties this season. .741 vs. .747 against righties.
So yeah, I don’t think the lefty/righty thing is going to matter much, although you may be right about what the Giants will do. Really though, good hitters are good hitters.

As questionable as some of his lineup decisions are, every once in a while you get something like this that gives you the sense that Bochy has a bit more going on under the hood than it usually appears. The players really do seem to love him.
Boch seems like a very nice guy, so obviously players love him.
I’m sure he has a lot going on under the hood too – but I still don’t know why he kept playing Guillen over Ross, day after day.

On a LOL HIGH SCHOOL note, I hate how my parents can constantly see my grades. I have these history notes to do that will take me forever and are worth only three points (as opposed to tests, which are 100 points), but I have to do because my dad will hit the roof if he sees that I’ve missed the assignment. (I’ve already missed six history assignments in under two months of school.) I still have an A in the class, but will he care? No!

Considering the odds it’s not that unlikely. As it is now, 4 out of 16 (25%) NL teams make the playoffs. For a while it was only one out of 10, and then later it was two out of 12 (~17%). So 18% is probably a little better than what would be expected if all the teams were equal and everything were left to chance. Obviously, that’s a low bar, but…
It's still pretty amazing though
that’s not a lot of playoff appearances.

Looking at the numbers for the 1960's Giants is fun
For example, in 1965, both (arguably) the best position player in SF history and the best pitcher in SF had the best year of their careers.
My goodness
Their combined WAR was 20.2 – that has to be one of the highest ever for two players on the same team.
The best I could find from the past couple of decades
Rodriguez/Griffey – 19.1 (1996), though that’s with Griffey supposedly being worth 32 runs in the field.
Bonds/Kent – 18.8 WAR (2002).
Pujols/Rolen- 18.6 (2004). You could replace either one of them with Edmonds and it would only be lower by half a win or so – the 2004 Cardinals had 3 players in the top-5 in WAR. Crazy.
Of course, if you go way back you’ll find things like:
Ruth/Gehrig, 26.7 (1927).
Those two had their moments.
Utter frustration and futility.

I guess that makes up for dropping that line drive
Giants infielder Edgar Renteria had noticed a flaw in Ross’ approach during his first at-bat against Lowe, a strikeout.
“Cody, get your foot down,” Renteria told Ross after that at-bat. “You’re not getting your foot down.”
Immediately after the at-bat, Ross went into the Giants’ clubhouse and watched video of that sequence.
“He was right,” Ross said.

Yup, that was worst offense of anyone on that play
Physical errors will happen, but mental ones shouldn’t. Not running out a play is just lazy in any game, but especially in a game of such importance.
This is why coaches shouldn’t ever allow this laziness as it will come back to bite you in the ass at the worst times.
I think Edgar was pissed that he wasn’t pinch hit earlier to face Venters instead of Rowand. I was too.
I’m more angry that he didn’t pinch hit yesterday (for Grant). I thought using Rowand today was fine. It isn’t like Renteria’s particulary good either.
But you could have saved Rowand (slim pickins on bench for righties) and got an AB and defensive replacement from Rent. Bad move burning 2 players when one coulda been used IMO.
Playoff baseball is fun. We should do this more often.
Renteria wasn’t burned. He double switched into the 9th spot and led off the next inning for the pitcher.

I wish I would stop cheating. fuck. this is jctgamer's fault -- jponry
I commented to my wife about that as soon Rowand came out.
Fontenot is the 7th spot hitter. Cody Ross is behind him. If Edgar pinch hits for Fontenot, he has to go in as the replacement for Fontenot (Panda playing 3rd is just not a good idea at that time.)
That means if both him and Cody Ross make outs, the Pitcher spot is due to lead off the next inning. However, since He already went in for Font in the 7th spot, Bochy has to insert the pitcher (Casilla) in the pitcher spot, and can only use him for one inning. At that time, the game was 2-2 and god knows how long it will go.
I explained to my wife that pinch hitting Rowand, then double switching the pitcher to the 7th spot is the best sequence available at that time, and looking at the right handed bat options off the bench, I would have done the exact same thing.

jct you are way too much in Bochy’s mind. You almost make it sound like he (gasp!) knows what he’s doing.
I actually thought about the alternative
Which is pinch hitting Edgar there, then if both he and Ross make outs, double switch Ross with Rowand, insert pitcher into Ross spot, and Rowand lead off next inning.
Then I slapped myself. Like WHAT THE FUCK MORON.

I’m not quite sure how to finagle standings data, but I think the Giants have been better on the road than at home since September 1st, counting the postseason. How do I check this out?
How primitive!
Ok. Let’s see. 7-3 home and 11-5 road in September.
1-2 home in October (regular season).
1-1 home and 2-0 road in October (postseason).
So that’s 9-6 home and 13-5 road since September 1. We’ve got the Phillies right where we want them.

If the Rays pick up about 3 mil and send take something like Lewis+Frandsen then sure. I’d rather take a one year gamble on Burrell than give Bay a huge long term deal.

Thing A
"Correlation between inability to use the reply button and general crappiness of analysis: pretty high." -Sleepy Freud
Honestly, only fucking idiots thought it was a bad idea to sign Burrell to a minor-league contract. What’s the downside?
Whether Bochy/Sabean decided to play him despite poor performance is another question entirely. But the signing was 100% the right idea.
Thing C
while chewing on my crow (happily, may I add)
It wasn’t the idea of the MiLB deal, it was thinking he would be in SF three days later and run out every day even if he stunk.
Thankfully that role was played by Jose Guillen and his bulging disc.

Time for Gallo to consider a march across the barnyard . . .
to where the horses cut and prance. Some are the female of the breed, and they cut hardest and prance highest. Gallo ducks easily under the low fence, and is among them. They snort and they rear, and they
circle the intruder. They are big and they use their size to intimidate the small rooster. They cannot, for the rooster has known the folly of submission. It will not happen again.
This corral can be managed, and Gallo can do it. The Phillies must do more than look good.

Anyone on here
in New Orleans? I’m a Bay Area transplant down here, and I’m really getting tired of watching these games at bars by myself with the sound turned off, getting weird looks from all the people watching football. I spent the last week of the season in SF (was at the Friday Padres game) and I’m totally spoiled now.
I want to watch these games with people who have some vague concept of what they mean.

Heck I even signed up for this McCovey Chronicle thing that my wife calls “that Mccovey thing you’re on.” This team got my wife interested in baseball and we got to enjoy this season together.

Shift-A: Day after...still cannot believe Giants are going to the NLCS
My heart has not beaten that hard since…well since 2002…
I don’t know what to do now…
On the one hand I know the Phillies are really good and there is a good chance the Giants may not make it past the NLCS. I mean we had our hands full with a short handed Braves team…Honestly, if that happened I would still be extremely happy with the season.
Yet, part of me is greedy…it’s so close…so close…and it’s possible just possible the Giants could go all the way…but do I dare to believe it…I don’t know if I can take us falling short of the getting the trophy.
I almost feel like having a great betting weekend in Vegas and playing with the house’s money…yet there’s that one last bet on the table…I could hit it big or go home with some cash in my pocket…
It will be a tough series, but don’t forget that the Braves had the ostensible advantage in the last two games and the Giants managed to pull it out. Anything can happen!

I watched the series between the Phillies and the Reds. The Reds couldn’t get a hit off of Halliday, Hamels was dominate, but Oswalt struggled.
If we can manage to get a win on the road within the first two games, we’ll have the advantage, but that’s going to be a pain in the ass.

Getting 4 of them might be a problem, though.

We can beat the Phillies
Yeah, their pitching is terrific and they’re staked with power hitters, but that doesn’t mean we can’t pull off an upset. Believe!!!
…But if we pull the upset, I many have to run from my dad. (Phillies fan)

Honestly...
I think Cin was not mentally ready for the games…Rolen is the only veteran on that team..the loss in game 2 really killed them.
I think I’d rather lose to the Phillies than to the AL, especially if it were the Yankees. I don’t know if I could take the taunting that would come all throughout the off-season from losing to the Yankees. The LCS losers end up vaguely forgotten except as trivia questions (“Which four teams played in the 2002 LCS?”), and I think I’d rather have the national anonymity.
But even more than that, I don’t want the killjoys to look at the 2010 Giants and say, “See, we said you wouldn’t make it.” So go to Philadelphia, Giants, and kick butt and take names. Show them all what you can do. Surprise ‘em. By Saturday we’ll be recovered enough to take on a whole new round of torture.

taunting?
From whom?
And judging by TBS coverage, there’s still plenty of anonymity to be had, and I expect that will be magnified by Fox in covering the Phillies.

I know a few Yankees fans, and they can get pretty insufferable when their team wins.
There was also a poster on another message board I frequent who basically said, “Here’s how October baseball works. 8 teams come in, 7 bow to my Yankees. This is retribution for the NL winning our All-Star Game.” I’ve been pretty vocal about the Giants (though not to trash-talking levels), and could possibly hear a lot if the Giants lose.
But when it’s all said and done, I’d much rather shut them all up and have them bear witness to what the Giants have done and can do. I can handle the trash talk.

Once I traveled to PA for a wedding. During one of the family functions I was in a room full of Yankees fans talking about how Rivera is the best closer ever and how Hoffman’s career is meaningless because he never had to convert a meaningful save, etc… Being from AZ I was already an outsider but I think I solidified my spot outside the circle of trust when I said, “Yeah but didn’t he blow the ultimate save in the 2002 WS?”
I CAN HAZ MARK REYNOLDS?
2001, of course.
Yankees didn’t even sniff the 2002 WS.
That’s how clutch they were.

Let’s face it, we caught a break with the injuries to Prado and then Wagner.
Also, before I forget: who hooked Derek Lowe up to the Juvenation Machine? The guy shut down the Giants for two games in the series and yet the Braves still lost both of them.

I don’t know if someone’s already posted this (I cannot keep up with these threads!), but this — from Ostler’s column — is awesome:
“We’ve got a lot of characters on this team,” said Aubrey Huff, whose red-sequined “rally thong” has become the team’s battle flag, “and we’re just crazy enough to pull this off.”

Buster Posey: He knows the rules!

Ben WIlshire is the new Dreamy Dan.
There has to be a chafing risk with those sequins.
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing Matt Cain.
Trust Aubrey not to just go with a regular old thong.
Also, this was awesome:

I need to stop interacting with non-baseball fans this month. I spent half of Friday’s game saying stuff like “no, they keep playing after nine innings if it’s tied.” I don’t mind doing it in general, but not when every pitch is going to have me stressed out.

as much as I make fun of Sandoval
and we all know how excited he is about the Cheese Steaks in Philly…
Pablo has taken his slump and rotation out of the roster with absolute class. In the MLB recap of the celebration, he expressed his simple desire to be anywhere where he could help – 3B, DH, where ever – and it is too easy to think how any other player who has had their face plastered on the side of a bus would have handled this differently (I’m thinking of a player whose name begins with an “M” and ends with a “anny fuck face Ramirez”).
So here’s one for you, you fat, classy, slumping bastard
All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and the complete lack of offense.
All part of his plan
Get even fatter and block the strike zone enough with his gut to increase his OBP

Make it stop. I cannot hear this song anymore. Never was a Journey fan, but didn’t despise them (did see them at the Bill Graham tribute back in 1990, and enjoyed “Lights”). But my Gawd, this song is done to death! Now, I can only think of this version:
