I'd really like the giants to win this game
I’d also like to never see jose guillen or aaron rowand play again but not all miracles can come true.

"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."
Please explain why?
Even if Timmy finished out the game and gave up no more runs, the Giants will lose if they don’t score.
Have you been watching the Giants offense lately?
Two runs is a huge deficit for the Giants these days
I don't understand this game at all
Please nate hit a dinger.

You do realize that if the Giants don't score it wouldn't matter if Timmy
struck out all the remaining Brewers in the evening.
I have a helluva lot more faith in the bullpen than in the offense
and that is the crux of why I think this was a good move

This is just silly talk.
Lincecum cannot score runs as a pitcher. If the Giants had an offense that could score some runs, I’d be scratching my head along with you, but the way the offense has been going, the Giants need to optimize every opportunity they get to put some on the board.

so how is managing in September in a penant race different than managing in April. I guess with expanded rosters you can afford to use more pitchers. But wins are wins no matter what month.
No one here gets out alive.
It's mostly the expanded roster thign
No way Bochy takes tim out in that situation in April, when he has 6 guys in the pen – now, we have enough people to do it.

Because the Giants are the dumbest team in baseball when it comes to hitting. They don’t adjust, what works against them the first time around will continue to work the 100th time. How many fucking times is Huff (among many others) going to strike out on the low and away pitch in the dirt? And this is a against several recent pitchers. I think its an organizational thing.

That's another problem with thhis Brian Sabean-built team
Players coming up through the farm system (the very few that actually are major league caliber), typically don’t know the first thing about fundamentals. How to bunt, how to run bases, how to take pitches, how to hold base runners close… defensive players mentally planning for different defensive scenarios is another area of fail. The list goes on and on. Just about every night, you can observe some form of sloppy, poor fundamental play with this team—particularly with players who came up through the Giants’ farm system.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?

I understand that Tim is a very competitive person and doesn’t like to be pulled, but I’ve lost a little respect for him with this little temper tantrum he is having.
He knows as well as anyone the offensive struggles as of late.
you kidding me?
he had 72 pitches, and was doing well. bochy should be the one we have no respect for. can’t manage for the life of him.
You are watching the game aren't you?
I’m not the biggest fan of Bochy, but it wasn’t a bad move and has actually been born out to be a very wise move. I like the Giants chances a lot better only being down 1 versus 2 right now.

This is what happens when you build your team on a bunch of dumpster diver retreads

Those guys all came up through the farm system
I’m talking about guys like Uribe, Ross, Guillen, Renteria, Burrell, Whiteside, Torres, Fontenot. All the retreads Sabean picked up on the cheap. They’ve all had their moments this year. Many of them are guys you wouldn’t mind having on your bench. But none of them are guys you want day in and day out in your starting lineup. Now, the clock has struck 12 on just about every one of them. Even Torres was showing signs of reverting back to his career norms before the appendicitis.
Even Huff is apparently hitting the wall now.

If I actually said that.
If you read a little more carefully—move your lips if it helps—you might notice that you just completely missed the point.
Uribe, Burrell and Torres have all done a fine job for the Giants this year—much better than could reasonably have been expected. They’ve all had some great moments. And Torres, as if by magic (up to when he hit the wall just prior to his appendicitis), was arguably the best leadoff hitter in the NL for much of the year. But we’re seeing now that none of them can be counted on to be consistent, every day hitters going forward. They are all prone to crushing slumps, poor plate discipline, and/or falling back into the bad habits that landed them on the scrap heap in the first place. That’s why Sabean was able to get each of those guys so cheap.
No, GiantPain, dumpster dive specials are not “the problem”. But neither are they the solution. Dumpster dive specials make nice complementary pieces in a winning lineup, but they don’t make good centerpieces.
So what is “the problem”? The problem is that those centerpieces are supposed to be provided by the farm system. But the Giants have a lineup made up mostly of refuse, and we’re seeing now that it’s a lineup that cannot be counted on to score runs. The farm system, despite having produced several very good pitchers for the Giants, this year has produced for the everyday lineup a total of: one catcher. Oh, granted he’s a wonderful catcher. But first base, second base, shortstop, third base, all three outfield positions? Nothing. Not one player that merits any confidence as an everyday player right now. By the way, did you know that Brian Sabean has been the Giants’ GM 15 years now, and during his tenure the Giants’ farm system hasn’t produced EVEN ONE decent everyday outfielder? Not one. Imagine how much better the Giants offense would be right now, if Brian Sabean’s farm system had managed to produce JUST ONE good .850+ OPS-hitting outfielder for this season’s lineup.
What the Giants have accomplished to date has been done via long stretches of exceptional pitching, some remarkable (but not sustainable) years from a few hitters picked off the scrap heap, and via a rookie catcher of otherworldly talent. Unfortunately, this group of hitters alone is not enough to do anything more than maybe sneak into a playoff spot. They’ve had a nice run this year, but Brian Sabean’s failure to build a complete farm system (the problem, GiantPain) is catching up to them now.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?
I was more replying to this:
There’s just no substitute for building through a strong farm system. Brian Sabean will never understand this.
We’ve gotten a lot of good players out of the farm over the last few years. And every team has some retreads, and I don’t think they’re the problem because some have done well. The main problem is the boatloads of money going to Zito, Rowand, etc, which means we can’t afford to spend big on someone who makes a real difference.
Osiris, Lord of the Dead, and relief pitcher for the Fresno Grizzlies.
I was pretty happy when the Giants made moves for Guillen, Ross, Fontenot and the like
because I thought they were good to have off the bench once the rosters expanded in September. The fact that they are starting/playing a prominent role just shows me that someone is using them incorrectly.

"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."
The giants seriously have no fucking clue at the plate
They get 85 pitches from gallardo after 5 innings and then come out in the 6th and 7th hacking their fucking brains out and allow him to go 8 innings. This has happened non stop all year and it would be really nice to see this team take pitches when it needs to.

I’m sorry but when you field a line-up as retarded as this was you cannot expect to score runs.
Uribe batting second was so retarded I can’t possibly find the right words to describe it.
Taking out Timmy was uneeded and is only going to create tension in this team, which ofcourse is the most fantastic thing a team wants when they’re in a pennant race. I mean teams strive to get that level of friction!

Uribe in the 2-spot is certainly questionable, but given his options and after last night… Mr. Shuffles thought he might shuffle the deck chairs one more time and see if something less drowny came up (it didn’t).
And pulling Lincecum was all about trying to maximize the scoring opportunity. The Brewers gifted the Giants a run, ultimately, but he wasn’t doing it for any other reason than he was desperate to score A FUCKING RUN. Given the hitters performance of the past two nights, this seemed completely reasonable to me, even if it created a problem from a morale standpoint.
I absolutely agree
Except Uribe as #2 was more than questionable for me

LOL losing back to back games to a shitty team when only allowing 5 runs in both games combined.

The look on JT's face sums up this entire game and season
“Ugh”

Not looking too good for a win

Hi, I'm a typical McCoven...
I overreact and go all radical and revert to 2008 whining when when the Giants are in a pennant race because I’m a hypocritical douchebag.

This cheered me up a little

Kevin Mitchell has a black belt in keeping it real.
nevermind, no amount of Yo Gabba Gabba hip-hop dancing frogs can cheer me up now
AT&T Park and Disneyland-so much magic inside!
I wonder when the giants will finally realize they can no longer market pablo.

What marketing did they do?
Didn’t Urban make than name up on a radio show?
The Giants just sell Panda hats at the park. Girls, kids and Asians buy them whether he’s in the lineup or not. If it wasn’t that it would be seal heads.
Either way, what do you care? Go donate to PETA or maybe go fuck yourself.

I’m the one bitching constantly and nitpicking.
