September preview

PrintJuly was magic inside. August was arsenic-tinged nougat inside. Seriously, screw that month. If there’s anything a Giants fan can count on, it’s a random distribution of 2-1 losses and 1-0 wins. Some months the losses flow from the tap, some months the wins flow. But to have a month where the offense does just fine, while the pitching completely wets the bed? Witchery. Pure, unabashed witchery, and this baseball-god-fearing site won’t stand for it.
So I keep hearing things about this September, eh? Sounds like torture. Smells like torture. Feels like torture. Looks like torture. Tastes like, oh god, tastes like torture. But I’m going to watch every game because I’m an idiot. I have problems. I look at the standings, and I think, "HEY, THE GIANTS ARE ONLY FOUR BACK IN THE NL WEST!" And then I catch myself and silently weep. Because I’m an idiot. This is the cycle of my conscious thought.
This brings up a selection of the unlikely, awesome Septembers in franchise history, as told by a young jerk who couldn’t be bothered to look through all of those seasons in New York.
1997
First off, the Giants opened September of ‘97 with a Monday/Wednesday series against the A’s. What sort of misanthropic imp thought that one up? The whole ‘97 season was littered with two-game series against the AL West. That’s something Raoul Duke would come up with after eating his suitcase.
The Giants were supposed to fade into nothingness as the Dodgers took the division. From the beginning of May through the summer, that’s all Giants fans heard. The Dodgers were the better team. The Giants were a fluke. The Dodgers were the better team. The Giants were a fluke.
The Giants were just fine, thank you. They turned a two-game deficit at the start of September into a division title.
Of course, it all eventually ended in heartbreak.
1998
The Giants were four games back of two different teams in the wild-card race with eleven games left. They ended the season on a hot streak, sure, but more importantly, the Mets and the Cubs refused to win. Google "Brant Brown error" if you want some good laughs. This was the game after which I gave up. Yet they came back, against all odds, it was the chance they had to take.
Of course, it all eventually ended in heartbreak.
1951
Everyone knows about "The Giants won the pennant! The Giants won the pennant! The Giants won the pennant!" It’s the most memorable moment in the history of baseball. What people don’t remember is how ridiculous it was that the Giants were even in a position to win the pennant in the first place. After the Dodgers swept the Giants in a three-game series, the Giants were 12.5 back on August 9th. August 9th! Then they went 40-8 in their last 48 games. That’s just goofy.
So, basically, your grandparents and ancestors traded future championships in dark, candlelit deals in order for The Shot Heard ‘Round the World to happen. Enjoy that replay every time you watch it. You’ve paid for it.
Of course, it all eventually ended in heartbreak.
1962
Can you imagine the GameThread for this game?
Marichal isn’t an ace. Sorry, nerds, but he doesn’t have that certain mentality you need. I’d trade him for Ernie Broglio straight up.by HallerBack on Oct 3, 1962 6:06 PM PDT reply
After being down four games with seven to go, the Giants surged to catch the Dodgers and force a three-game playoff. They were down 4-2 entering the ninth inning in Los Angeles in the third game.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF WHAT IN THE HELL, MARICHAL?By Kuenn Sense of Smell on Oct 3, 1962 6:06 PM PDT reply
The Giants took the lead on a bases-loaded walk, and padded the lead on an error. Heh. Suck it, old Dodgers.
Of course, it all eventually ended in heartbreak.
So am I saying that the Giants are due for one of these Septembers? Yes. Yes, I am, you grumpy twits. This is the month where the magic inside gets everywhere, and it isn’t going to come out with a little baking soda, either. You’re all so aghast that I’d dare to jinx things that you don’t even realize that you were morbidly pessimistic before you read this post. It always ends in heartbreak. I acknowledged it. I think we’re going to get some short-term satisfaction that will set up a more painful heartbreak. If that qualifies as a Pollyanna-type jinx, deal with it, you jackals.

Good for you. Did you travel or do anything special?
I was only 15 when I started college so I didn’t really know what I was doing. Post-college would have been the perfect time for me to take a break.
I’ve been thinking more and more about going back to school. If I do, I’ll definitely take some time off, either before school or after.
They could be Giants...but not really.
Actually, I realized I wasn’t really prepared for college, so I withdrew before the semester began, took six months and got a nine-to-five job. It helped mature me and shape my expectations for early adulthood. By the time I was ready to re-apply the following January, I was much more prepared for the experience and got through college just fine.

MadBum's BP
Did anyone hear Kruk this morning on KNBR? He said MadBum’s batting practices are a sight to behold. Apparently, he hits balls over the bleachers in left field and left- center and has even hit the little kiddie replica field behind the keft field bleachers.
Kruk said he hits balls only where Galaragga would hit them.
Now I want to see MadBum take BP.

It's amusing about Guillen:
He currently has a (Giants-only) net offense value very nearly equal to Huff’s, and higher than Posey’s. Of course, it is only 49 plate appearances, and his BABIP is a comical .429, but there it is.
Still no reason for him to be starting, but then you knew that.

Whee
“He’s had all the work,” La Russa said. “He’s never backed off the work, taking batting practice. I think it all has to do with what his concentration is, and what his focus is. I do believe that, you just watch his swings in batting practice and in the game, I think he is convinced that he helps us more if he just yanks the ball out of the park. That normally is not the case, because you’re limiting yourself to a side of the park and you’re vulnerable to too many pitches. We really push, ‘Just play the game.’ That’s what Jon [Jay] does. He plays the game. take a single, take a walk, let the home runs come.”

Overall, it’s a useful program, but there are a few annoyances here and there like getting masks to work well or key frame animation. Then again, most video editing programs are annoying to deal with.

Sorry, kaliber,
excessive sarcasm. (I don’t fantasy either . . . just an old asshole purist) I’ll try to keep it in check.

I'll high five
What opera?
Renee Fleming, opera singer > Renee Fleming, would be pop crossover artist
They could be Giants...but not really.
Selections from Verdi, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff and Medtner. The theme is great venues of St. Petersburg.

Double play!
Suck it, Padres!
If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit!

Ryan Verdugo, my adopted son, strikes out 13.2 per 9 innings in his career. He has a 1.63 ERA in San Jose this year. Call him up to be a Flying Squirrel. He is also a member of the "Giants who went to LSU" club with Mike Fontenot, a.k.a Grant.
I didn't know before
LOLME. I just saw it. Don’t judge!

It's not like he's going to hit
…hopefully
As a pinch runner he’s useful in September.

He is on the 40man anyway so he is coming here to fill a role at no cost
Consider him the MLB equivalent of a fluffer
a) not on the 40 man
a1) would have to DFA some piece of garbage (i.e. Velez or Hinshaw) to make room
b) he is helping the Grizz in their hopeless hunt for the post-season
Deep thought:
3GB if they win tonight and would have been been 2GB if Cody Ross had skipped that last bong hit Monday night. 1GB if Phil Cuzzi had been a passenger on the Hindenberg
And if we had that time machine to take us to France?
