I think this is a riddle.
The sentence ends in a comma, which you can’t do.
So if you fix it, that would be un-comma-ing the sentence.
Which leaves you with: “Post-game thread: Giants lose in Colorado. Not un-comma.”
Squint your eyes a little, and you get: “Post-game thread: Giants lose in Colorado. Not uncommon.”
I’ve unraveled your riddle, Grant.

It’s pointless to mortgage the future, give up Neal and friend, just so we can finish somewhere around 84 wins, miss the playoffs, have an unprotected first round pick so we can’t think about type A free agent, and not fire Bochy and Sabean.
Please. Just fail spectacularly. Mediocrity is the worst place to be. You either fail hard and get a top 10 pick, or get into the playoffs. I can’t take another year of almost winning.

I actually enjoyed tonight's game very much
I no longer get frustrated with losses, in fact I was cheering for San Diego to try to make a comeback so we can be further out and give up before the deadline.
Once you stop caring about the wins and losses, it makes it much more enjoyable. I can look at Madbum’s location and see how he approaches CarGone the second time, I saw the way Posey approached his 2nd and 3rd at bat, and I actually was pleased with this game.
I mean, once Madbum was out, there was only one reason left to watch, and that is to see if Posey can get another hit.

that too. I was noticing that. It’s good for his development though.
I was of the opinion that he needs to spend the year in AAA, but now that I’ve seen him live once and on TV once, I’m convinced it’s better to have him learn in the majors this year.
He is a better pitcher than Jonathan Sanchez.

When that shit is going down in the 4th(?) inning with the error and the misplay by Uribe, he was never flustered. He is never wayyyy outside or wayyyy inside.
His problem right now is he catches too much of the plate on some pitches, but he is never wild like Sanchez is. Sanchez might have better pure “stuff”, but I really think he is the better pitcher. Right now.

10-5 GO/FO ratio w/ an avg velocity of 91~ish on game day
and his breaking stuff looks pretty damn good too. Considering he’s just 20 years old, his projection should be a lot higher than previously though. I, also, think it’s safe to say that we should probably trust the Giants judgement when it comes to pitchers, but that’s where i’ll draw the line.

Matt Cain tells pitching prospect Madison Bumgarner how to win while pitching for the Giants – “Now don’t try throwing a complete game with no earned runs, trust me, it doesn’t end well. Throwing a 1-hitter doesn’t work either, go ask Sanchez. You need to try harder. You might also want to try hitting home runs when its your turn to bat”

Don't know if this was discussed in any of the GDT...
Listening to the “Bruce Bochy Show” before the game made my blood boil. He talked about Whiteside getting the bulk of starts at catcher for a while because “he knows the league” and because “the pitchers have been struggling and need a hand to get right.”
It’s like he’s finding every remote reason to keep Posey from behind the plate. With Molina gone, the same lame justifications are now applied to Whiteside.
Bah.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
And I tweet (more often than I blarg).
I think this would be hilarious
Sabean sends whiteside down. Bochy plays Pablo at catcher.

I wouldn’t be too worried. Bochy will definitely catch heat from the casual fanbase for overplaying Whiteside as they don’t have same delusions of grandeur (like they had with Molina).
You want to see a walk? Then go watch the mailman.
The good news is
if Bochy said it, he’s sure not to actually do it.

Yeah, not good with the strikeouts. He looked safe at second, though on the play where he argued with the ump, and I had a perfect view.
At first glance, I thought he was out by a mile.
Though it took a good play from Whimberly (who looks like a solid little player, but pretty redundant when it comes to the A’s). Replay showed that it was pretty close. Rohlinger looked really frustrated, as did Bowker on several occasions.

BOSTON — Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek, who was supposed to assume everyday catching duties with Victor Martinez on the disabled list with a fractured left thumb, instead is joining Martinez on the disabled list with a fractured foot, a major league source confirmed Thursday night.
WBZ-Channel 4 in Boston was the first to report that Varitek sustained a leg injury and showed footage of Varitek’s charity miniature golf event Thursday night, in which the Sox captain could clearly be seen limping.
Details were sketchy, but a major league source said that while Varitek is expected to miss four to six weeks, it could be less.

Wait, was it ever? My girlfriend watches that show and we always joke about how it’s never lupus, to the point where the show’s creators have said someday it will be. Did they actually follow through?
Their list of hurt players is pretty nuts:

They could be Giants...but not really.
and yet they are 47-32, 1 and 1/2 games out of first (currently the Wild card leader). I guess their $160,000,000+ payroll helps.

Well, liked?
I’m not sure I could say I ever liked Barry. He was a good (ya know, kinda) player who played for the team I support, so I rooted for him. Did I like him? Kind of, I guess. Surely more than people of other cities who, in spite of the drug-related transgressions of their own players [ (cough) San Diego (cough) St. Louis (cough) Oakland ], somehow have decided that he’s History’s Greatest Monster.
But I guess I generally don’t get too wrapped up in whether I like the guys on the Giants one or the other. If they’re on the Giants, even if they’re egregious douches like Wilson, I’ll still root for them as long as they’re with the team. Players on other teams, though, that’s another story; once you’re wearing different laundry, all your mildly annoying quirks become mortal sins.
You didn’t like Barry, you liked what he did on the field.

Re Bonds:
The media hated Bonds, and vice-versa; but it is they who have the public ear, and they who created the image of Bonds that many people regrettably go by.
Take a look at some of the resources linked here (several of which themselves have a number of further links).
Bonds was generally very well liked by just about all his teammates (saving JK) on both his clubs over the years.

Looks like going to see the Grizz was the right choice.
Beautiful night, pretty decent game. Fresno blew it in the 8th. Bowker looked decent and Velez hit a home run. Not a whole lot else to write home about. Both starting pitchers gave up about a dozen fly balls that died just at the warning track. It was a cool night and the breeze was blowing in. This could easily have been a barn burner.
The best part was the cheap beer and beautiful weather.

I think that Bowker did try to kill us both. First he smashes a line drive right into kdl’s area. A few pitches later, he just misses one and hits it straight over the netting behind him, moving at about a million miles an hour. It crackles about five or ten feet past my right side, where a guy leaps and snags it with a bare hand. Best play of the night.

He hit quite a few fouls near me (I was just to the left of the dugout in the front row, which was AWESOME, and only $18), which was funny because it seemed like his friends/family were over there. He looked over there and smiled every time he came off the field, and they were all cheering.
They made him the K-Man (or whatever), which meant that if he struck out everyone got a coupon for free food. He didn’t strike out, though. Take that River Cats.
I was never certain that they were saying ‘free food’. That’s what it sounded like, but that’s such a vague offer. Do they mean Scotch Eggs? A full roast? French fries?! STOP MESSING WITH MY MIND!

well, here’s my thought, after this season they might just send out Huff, and yea, move Pablo to first or pave the way for Belt not next year, but possibly sometime in the next 2 years, because if he plays like this consistently there’s a chance.
Bond? if he’s playing 3rd, that’s saying something, and i can definitely see him at 2nd, since Freddy will soon be on his way out. Last note on first base, what about Brett Pill
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense if they do that.
And part of me wonders if they’re having Bond play some 3B so he could be traded as a utility infielder, but, meh. I think he could be useful in SF once Renteria’s gone and Uribe might not be back either.
Brett Pill isn’t exactly the greatest first baseman in terms of defense out there, but he’s good. He can put up good numbers and whatnot. He’s got some power and I can see him being a 5th or 6th place hitter.

LF? I guess is up for grabs. Well, with Pill, i think that he could definitely continue to improve on his defense, and yea, from what i’ve seen from both Bond and Pill, they’re kinda consistent
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Same here. Bond’s one of my favorites down in Fresno. But, yeah. If they can have Bond play some games at short this year and see if he’s capable of playing the position, he could replace Rent/Uribe next season unless there’s a better alternative.
And yeah, both Bond and Pill have good approaches at the plate. I could see Bond being the leadoff hitter next year. He has meh/okay speed, but, man, that current OBP is pretty. If they do make it to the bigs, I hope they can maintain the consistency they have right now.

That’s a good question for everyone here at McC, who in the minors is at least capable of filling that hole at SS?
I was just looking at their stats, seems like Bond’s a slap hitter, Pill’s more of a slugger, both with similar OPS and Bond with a higher OBP? If they do make it to the bigs, i’ll agree, i hope they can maintain consistency, but also they could be just back ups in the majors at this point
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
I was going over the rosters for both Richmond and Fresno and I think it’s possible that Manny Burriss could play SS up in SF.
Yeah, that’s pretty much what Bond is. He’s the kind of guy who gets on base a lot, by way of a single or a walk. He has very little power, though. And Pill is definitely the slugger kind. He’s no Bowker, but he’s got a good amount of power. Hopefully both of them at least get a reasonable shot at proving what they’re worth next season.

Yeah, I haven’t been too impressed by Burriss’ stats, but, meh. SSS. If he can prove to be a decent enough player until, say, Crawford is ready to play in the bigs, I can dig it.
Hah, I didn’t even realize that he could be a Mr. F kinda guy, but now that you mention it. And I really hope they both get called up in September and kick lots of ass, lol. But that’s just me being biased since I love this season’s Grizzlies.

Not really new but FWIW
This will not be a popular move among the fan base, but the way Bruce Bochy explained it to us, he doesn’t want to rush Posey into the everyday grind of catching when he’s basically been a full-time first baseman for more than a month.
I asked Bochy to rank his five starters, in order, from easiest to catch to most difficult.
Bochy began his answer by saying, "Not to skirt the question, but…"
Then he sort of skirted the question. But he still gave an interesting answer:
"Whitey has caught some of these guys more. Early on, he may get more starts. We need to get this rotation back on the level. That’s not to say Buster can’t do it, or won’t be back there. I’m going to use them both. With Buster, it’s not a case where he’ll go and catch every day. He’ll still play some at first base."
That said, Brian Sabean said that "obviously, Buster will catch more than he’ll play first base."
They could be Giants...but not really.
Ooops, sorry, the ? was supposed to be a period. I would rank them as:
Cain
Zito
MadBum
Lincecum
Sanchez
They could be Giants...but not really.
Though disclaimer: I really haven’t seen a lot of MadBum, just a couple of games.

Molina is confident Posey and Lincecum would form a solid battery in time, but at the start, it will be up to the Cy Young winner to take the reins.
“I had to get used to it, too,” Molina said. “Timmy will have to be the driver. He’ll have to show Buster what he can and cannot do, and by the third or fourth outing he’ll (Posey) have a better idea of how he pitches and what he likes to do.”
Lincecum said: “I’m not worried about it. This game makes you adapt. Just know whoever is behind the dish on a given day is there for a reason.”

we need to do some sort of tore GDT, where everybody who does drink gets pissed as the game goes on. Those who don’t drink can just have something to make fun of the rest of us for later.
Mark DeRosa just got the damn surgery.
There used to be a drinking game … might be a good time to drag that baby back out, and update the rules.

Padre post-game guy just called eli whiteside "really young"
"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."
He said “Going with their rookie catcher who’s really young and eli whiteside who’s also really young”. He went on to say the giants should have made that move 2 months ago, but bochy is a idiot homer towards useless veterans.

i felt bad for fresno’s starter becouse the reliver who came in choked up two opposite feild homers. but the worst part of the night was when i got in my car and heard pissed people on knbr with fp, i knew the giants had lost. i hate bochy so much, if he starts whiteside im gunna hurt somone. i want the giants to lose just so they fire that retard. in 2 starts with madbum, posey catching, he has failed to put the best team on the feild.
ohh and i checked the giants team hitting and sf is ranked 29th in extra base hits, so sad
Its not easy being a giants fan

He was responsible for 2 of the 4 runs tonight, and failed miserably at the plate. Hopefully the beat writers start the edgAARP hate, or he’ll get another 70+ starts this year.

Listening to that right now, had to turn off KNBR after I heard a “Mark derosa show” commercial on KNBR like it’s some good must listen to show. I like how they mention the angry e-mails about buster posey right off the bat, WEST COAST BIAS YO!
"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."
I don’t think Ralph and Tom should be allowed to do those shows ever again. It seems every player they got to do those shows ended up being traded, injured, sucking, being a jackass or any combination of the above.

These guys are saying the molina trade was a bad idea, LOL ESPN RETARDS. Anyone who thinks the giants trading molina hurt them is probably from the same law of thought as “Bengie is a great catcher, calls a incredible veteran game better than anyone in the majors, one of the best defensive catchers in the game”. They at least respected your e-mail when they could have sounded as dumb as the guys on MLBN, I liked that they said molina should have never been signed and posey should have started the year catching.

Renteria came off the dl may 22nd and bork immeditially put him back in the starting line up (after saying he’d be a bench player). The giants proceeded to get swept by oakland in one of the defining series of bruce bochys pathetic management. The giants then barely won 2 out of 3 against the nationals and gAARP took place in lincecums first L He then had one of his graham cracker like hamstrings get hurt while jogging to first. He then came back for the first game of the toronto series, promptly inserted as a every day starter after bochy said he’d be a bench player. Since renteria returned the firs tagme of the toronto series the giants are 3-10 and have only scored more than 3 runs twice. Since returning from the DL, renteria has 2 XBH’s, 1 RBI, 1 run scored, and has cost this team nearly as many runs as they’ve scored just by his defense alone. Renteria is killing the giants, bench this old lazy no range peice of shit and get ready to send bork on a early vacation.

Mmm pablos weight isn't affecting him he's healthy and plays fine at his weight its normal
Yeah ok giants.

A 737 OPS combined with excellent defense in CF is not terrible.
A 645 OPS from Sandoval, though, is very disappointing.

the Giants have other HR sources this year
but Torres’s inability to keep his OBP over .370 as a speedy table-setter hurt the offense significantly worse the last 2 weeks

WOW
3-10 since he’s back? How the hell does Bochy get away with this shit?? Bay Area media needs to step up and come down on this guy, can you imagine this happening in another major market?
Thanks to people like gary radnich who say “Hey the giants are fine they are only 5.5 games back, keep me entertained into september and i’m happy you can’t just say they suck they are right in this thing!!!!” the bay area will always accept mediocrity and not call out pathetic signings and retarded managing decisions. If we had real sports talk hosts working on KNBR that actually spoke the truth about the giants, things would be a lot different. Instead the giants front office and owners think everyone is in love with the giants and as long as the seats keep filling and the panda hats keep selling larry baer and bow tie bill don’t give a fuck whats on the field.
"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."
Most of it’s crap. Damon Bruce can be a little more honest and actually call the front office out. But you’re right, until the attendance starts to drop, nothing is going to change
Damon is the only one who has the balls to speak even a ounce of truth
Every single other KNBR “Personality” reads the pre-prepared larry baer e-mails on what to say and what to not say, and constantly try to play it off like the giants aren’t flawed and are in this thing!!!. The biggest issue right now is bruce bochy is extremely butt hurt over the bengie molina trade so he’s going out of his way to field the worst possible line up. Yesterday for example, bochy uses his 7 and 8 hitters as the 1-2 punch in the line up.. Bruce bochy yet again manages the giants into another loss. He even spices it up even more with his borkian ways by using mota for the 4th day in a row in a high leverage situation. The guy is turning 37 years old soon, get a fucking clue bochy and jump off a bridge to save us from more embarrasment.

Ok, He came back on June 19 and his slash is:
.306 .375 .389
Anyone on the team even CLOSE to those numbers since June 19?
Most of the guys I checked are near the Mendoza line.
Uribe is
.143 .213 .286
over the same span.
I’m assuming that’s who you’d rather see and, seems to me, Uribe has had a few bad plays in the field including one last night behind the bag at 2b and one in Cincy that cost them big time.
Uribe hasn’t been flawless since june 19th, but he’s been forced to play every single day and was a monster before his recent slide. Uribe has been great, he’s getting paid jack shit, and he’s doing more than renteria has done for the giants in 2 years in just the first half of the season. Sure uribe has had some bad plays at 3rd and 2nd, but at short he looks like elvis andrus compared to lazy ass mother fucking edgar renteria the 35 year old bum. Not to mention he’s actually produced at the plate, where as renteria has just dinked no one on 2 out singles and drove in 1 run and scored 1 run since his return.
"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."
I love how you guys bring up his salary when talking about his performance. IT’S IRRELEVANT NOW. He’s on the team, he’s paid for, get over it. Same with Rowand, the salary doesn’t matter when they’re on the field. Stop being a hater.
The play in Cincy, Uribe choked was at SS.
In any case, the Giants are doing zip at the plate and you guys are picking on the one guy that’s actually got a few hits lately. Meanwhile Uribe is something like 1-15 lately with runners in scoring position.
The whole team is in a hitting funk and you’re picking on one guy. Hello?
Renteria made 3 pathetic errors yesterday and was only charged for one. He was responsible for 3 runs yesterday, did nothing at the plate, and continues to drag this team down seeing as its 3-10 since his return. Sure he’s not all to blame since a lot of bats are more dead than bruce bochys brain. Doesn’t help that your big money short stop is touted as a essential part of the team and starts everyday after bork said he’d be a bench player, when he should be riding the bench nurshing his graham cracker hammys. A lot of things are going wrong for the giants, edgar renteria is one of them and he should only start against lefties and thats that.
"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."
Well, let’s see. Renteria is hitting .324 RISP.
And v RHP Uribe is
.257 .307 .457
Renteria is
295 .337 .341
You just hate him because of his salary while Uribe is a hero because he’s cheap.
It’s not like he’s forcing someone to the bench that’s hitting the heck out of the ball.
But his defense sucks, he costs pitchers runs and they know it. This puts even more pressure on them, the numbers are flawed becuase of the fewer numbers of AB’s Renteria has had. I can’t believe your sticking up for a slow,35 year old (at least) with bad hamstrings and terrible range. The giants aren’t going to hit themselves into the playoffs, they need to pitch, get quicker and play almost flawless defense.
then show us a better alternate SS
Uribe has lesser range, but he has the far better arm. If you watched the game yesterday you saw he’s playing with an injured leg. Uribe needs to play less often not more.
Ergo, more Edgar.
The money lies in the RBIs
-- Jeff Kent
Yeah because Uribe is a svelte gold glover with tons of range. He’s just as bad in the field as Renteria, maybe less range.
I’m not sticking up for Renteria as much as I’m saying you’re not rational picking on the one guy that has a decent slash since this slump started. He is what he is. He’s not great, but they don’t have a lot of options.
If he was making $1 mil you would be saying what a bargain he is. You hate him because the Giants over paid for him.
The giants are pretty fucking blah
It helps that this franchise is centered around the big money bats of aaron rowand, edgar renteria, and the new game changing slugger addition of mark derosa.

“you guys” would cut him and not continue to give him second, third, and fourth chances to break into the starting lineup.

Bonkers
Edgar made only 1 error yesterday because it was ONLY ONE ERROR. Your complaint is essentially that balls he can’t field because he’s not Omar Vizquel should be ruled as errors. That is utter derangement.

Just like those were all wild pitches to bengie, NOT PASSED BALLS AND THE SCORER SAYS SO!

Those wild pitches were WILD PITCHES
a passed ball is a “catchable” ball that was not caught. The issue with the Giants pitchers is that they throw too many balls that hit in FRONT of the plate. Those pitches were not catchable, but many were blockable. A block preventing an advance by the runner, would save the pitcher from a WP, but that requires an exceptional effort. The issue with B-$ is that you can’t count on him for exceptional efforts at this stage of his career.

I believe an advancing baserunner has to figure into the definition.

Feels like he’s having such an awful year, yet he’s 8-3 with a 3.13 era. What’s also crazy is he was fucked over by the box score homers many times when things should have been called errors / passed balls but weren’t. If timmy was box score pampered like every other high profile pitcher in the MLB, his era would be around 2.6.-2.7.

Fat boy chamberlain strikes again
I pity all of you who selected him as a pokemon with the ENDLESS espn OMG CHAMBERLAIN IS GONNA WIN A CY YOUNG ONE OF THE BEST PITCHERS IN THE GAME hype before the season started. Funny how that hype happend before the 2008 season, and the 2009 season as well. I guess if you’re a yankee the hype never ends even if you’re a straight up huge bust blowing games like you’re names armando benitez..
