Post-game thread: Giants avoid the sweep
by Grant Brisbee on Jun 2, 2010 9:37 PM PDT
Email
PrintI hope Bengie Molina goes 135 for his next 180. I hope Aaron Rowand snorts Tris Speaker's ashes and hits .345 for the rest of his career. I root for the San Francisco Giants professional baseball club, thank you very much. I want this team to win.
I want this team to win, but would it kill Brian Wilson to slow down a little bit? What's with the inning under 67 pitches? I'm trying to write here. Anyways...
So, this isn't a bittersweet win because the busted vets helped out. This is a win that tastes like It's-Its and 12-year bourbon because it's a win -- they all do. Well, the Tigers' win tonight might have tasted like a cadaver finger in a glass of salt water, but that's an outlier. A win is a win is a win.
What I'd really like is for management to make intelligent decisions. That's a wish that can be independent of tonight's win.
Also of note: Matt Cain is really, really good.

Is to make it so that it seems like you’re not eating a vegetable. That’s probably why I liked grilled portabella mushrooms and eggplant parm so much.

it’s not often that one finds a vegetable with so little nutritive value.
Although, batter fried, it can be a source of fat which is so needed in the standard American diet.

Sorry
I can’t root for Bengie.
I can root for Rowand, because him turning it around is more important for SF’s long-term success.
But the team is best served by Molina continuing to play atrociously, perhaps even worse than now, until management finally pulls him, or at least teaches them a damn lesson.

Kruk and Kuip were like ‘the fans are getting tired of the double plays’… but I think it has more to do with those two sucking so thoroughly thus far.

I just dislike Rowand + Bengie so very much
And really, BORK for continuing to play them. Rowand has shown no inclination at all to learn anything – he still swings at the same damn slider he has been swinging at for years.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
They have two of the worst at bats in the league, not to mention they are the masters of GIDP’s when people are on base.
"The criticism was so brutal that Sabean was forced to declare, at a press conference, "I am not an idiot." Thus, the pattern of Sabean's relationship to his critics was established."
If rowand wasn’t such a terrible hitter he would prolly be one of my favorite players. I love players that play with reckless abandon. So i end up only sort of disliking him.

I want to strangle him everytime he over runs a well hit ball and then lets it get over his head for a double.

or bounces an awful throw. I guess if he wasnt such a terrible hitter AND such a terrible fielder he would be one of my faves.

im suprised he doesnt just run into the ball thinking its a game of chicken rather than actually catching and trying to make a throw. The ball would prolly travel farther that way than if he threw it anyways.

He’d at least get it near the infield instead of into the opponents dugout.

he makes a lot of bonehead decisions and poor throws though.

At first I assume the little girl was autistic because she just screams and wails and screams like there’s an exorcism going on… she does this all day… and when I knocked on the door to ostensibly tell the neighbors to shut her up (under the guise of, “is everything okay?”) they just said that she “likes to scream a lot.” So, fuck her and her Borkian parentals.

I agree. The general disruption to my life and the life of everyone in the apartment complex (and the adjacent complex)
is, nevertheless, not something that bodes well for the future.
I don’t want to keep losing sleep and having anxiety/stress when I come home because of some thing I have no control over. I’ve lived in this building for 5 years now. They’ve been here three months. And now I have to move because their kid screams 40% of the time she’s awake. She’s also a brat and just screams for attention. So, there’s definitely FUCK YOU attitude I have towards them as I feel they’re at least partly responsible for raising a possible future c-word.

There you go.
Also, the 11:20 show started right on time. Besides being a lower-class, unattractive slob, the reason why I don’t have kids is so that I can sleep without screaming babies. I would venture to guess that that other people who don’t have kids but live next to a screaming child are at least as inconvenienced as I… also, they have two kids. One is a screamer, the other one… I don’t know. Probably an animal killer.
