Post-game thread: One more win takes the division

One more win.
If the Giants had lost today, and the Padres had won today, the weekend series would have become a freaky best-of-three playoff series. The Giants would have home-field advantage. That wouldn’t have made me feel better. The Giants would have had to win two of three against the Padres. Certainly not impossible, but, cripes, if there was any way to avoid such a thing…
So today wasn’t a must-win game. But it wasn’t not a must-win game. A loss today, coupled with a Padres win, would have essentially tied the division up. Technically, the Giants would have been one game up, but that wouldn’t have meant a thing. It would have been liquid torture.
Oh, there’s still a chance for torture – especially if the Padres win today. The Giants still need to win one game. But the torture meteorologists have downgraded the forecast to "moderate chance of torture." If the Giants had lost a game in the standings today, anything that might have gone wrong in tomorrow’s game would have been magnified. Give up a first-inning run?
Ohmanthat’sitthePadresareupandthenthey’regoingtoputinGregLukersonandhe’sgoingtostrikeoutsixstraight
hittersandthey’regoingtowinonetonothingandnowwehavetowinthelasttwogamesorwemisstheplayoffsDAMMIT
howdidthishappen?
And if we would have felt like that, you’d best be sure the players would have felt like that. Tomorrow’s game would have felt like an elimination game.
Instead, it will feel like a game that the Giants should really, really, really win if they want to avoid torturing us. Which in turn is kind of torturous. Oh, man. There’s no escaping the torture, is there? Even if the Padres lose today, all that guarantees is a one-game playoff in the worst-case scenario. It’s still worth rooting for the Padres to lose, though. Because, come on, how likely is it that the Padres can beat the Giants four games in a row?
Yeah. Let’s not get too cocky. It’s better to be the Giants right now than to not be the Giants. That’s all the standings mean.
I’m nauseous now just thinking about this weekend. One win. That’s all the Giants need.
One win.
Please.

I can't believe the Giants are beating teams with home runs.
"Too much awesome on my feet."-Brian Wilson
"Time for the laser show, boys!"- Aubrey Huff
One down & 1 to go!
The Giants turned it up another notch when needed most by sweeping the D backs with excellent pitching and 3 home runs. Buster Posey, who makes one think he’s a 10 year vet, broke out of his 1-17 slump with a huge game inclusive of a 2 run blast and Madison Bumgarner won his 7th and 1st @ home with a 5 inning 1 run outing. The pen did the rest, as usual, and kept the score in check the final 4 innings securing the victory. In the game Aubrey Huff had a 1st. He scored 100 runs in a season for the 1st time in his career and is on the verge of another 1st after more than 1476 big league games. You can figure out what that is! It’s down to one more Giants win and one more Padre loss and the NL West division title is decided.
Wait, but what happened in the Giants’ game? Did they play today? Is this baseball season?

I went to Barcelona
I was in Basel for the summer at the time, my brother in Stuttgart. One day, he calls and says, ‘I rented a car, we’re driving to Barcelona.’ So we drove across France, washed up in the airport bathroom, bought tickets from a Mexican guy who wanted to hang out with his daughters instead of sit in the heat in the stands, and watched Sergei Bubka disappoint the crowd just over a day after the phone call.
Good times.
I’m imagining if we went to the same high school and had our 10-year reunion.
Tim : Yeah, I won a couple of Cy Youngs.
Cain: I went to the All Star Game a few times.
Me: Uh… I got the new Halo."
Nah, you have your art. They’d probably be blown away by some of the sketches of them you’ve done.

She mainly does plates, earrings, coasters, and the like. I don’t know the exact type of glass she uses, but she has 3 kilns, a grinder, and a bunch of other equipment. Luckily, when both my parents lost their jobs, she was able to sell all her stock and significantly supplement our savings.

Padres EPIC FAIL
The Giants wouldn’t have had a chance to lead the division if the Padres hadn’t gone 11-21 since August 26th. If they’d just played .500 ball in that period, they’d have already clinched.
When’s the last time a team that only had one 3-game losing streak all year fell apart like that so late in the year? Amazing.
Still… if the Giants don’t make the playoffs, it’d be easy to stew about the games that got away. One more win and that slate wipes clean. Finish ahead of the Reds and there isn’t even anything to regret.

They have to win three straight. Friday’s game is the 7th game of the World Series for them. They have to win or their season’s over. It’s less crucial for us. We can lose and still be fine.
So: intensity gap.

The "magic number" is still 2.
Because “magic number” is defined as Giants wins + Padres losses to clinch (not just tie) the division.
If we were playing anyone other than the Padres, we’d still need to win 2 to be assured of clinching. Since it’s head to head we only need 1.

Again:
To beat back the Giants for the division, the Padres now (end of day Thursday, 30 September) would need to win four in a row from them. Even assuming their chances are 50-50 (which they aren’t, between home-field advantages and sheer team quality), the odds are 15:1 that the Giants win it.

I think all the 25+ year-old gay men out there appreciate it. He managed to be smart enough to get that thought out while still being dumb enough to completely forget that there are a lot of men out there who aren’t sexually attracted to women.

I like that he’s calling out men to “return the favor.” I think he failed big time in forgetting that there are plenty of men out there over 25 who don’t want to sleep with women, let alone east pussy, and they really shouldn’t be required to kill themselves for that reason.

Homegrown...each of them...each of them 25 years or younger...basically Latos can go fuck himself.
Latos has a beef with the waiver wire pick ups, but both Posey and Bumgarner were guys brought up midway through the season. Not all of the players you play were those that started on the opening day roster. I’m sure the 1993 Braves would say that Fred McGriff was THE catalyst to their unbelievable comeback season.
The Giants season turned around the day that Molina was shipped off and Buster became the everyday catcher. Burrell, Guillen, Ross, Lopez…these were guys that were left for the taking.
I bet the Padres wish they would have been able to get any of the players the Giants picked up.
OHHHHH,
so because they’re homegrown, they’re ok in his book? I gotcha. I was reading you backwards.

The Giants have beaten Cashner at least twice this season
If not 3 times.
I fully expect the only run of the game to be scored this inning.
So today wasn’t a must-win game. But it wasn’t not a must-win game. A loss today, coupled with a Padres win, would have essentially tied the division up. Technically, the Giants would have been one game up, but that wouldn’t have meant a thing. It would have been liquid torture.
it would mean that if the padres won 2 of 3 it would go to the 1 game playoff. that game would still be pretty significant as we’d only have to win 2 of 3 whereas the padres would have to win 3 of 4.

Actually, that refers to the NL being the league first in existence. The NL has always been the Senior League and the AL the Junior League.

Ryan Rohlinger lives in my basement. I let him out to play baseball.
no, because he says that 88 win teams in the NL are the equivalent to 82 win teams in the AL, thus (in his mind) the NL is the weaker league

I mean, just off the top of my head, that gift strikeout of Young like 2 games ago.
I understand the sentiment
but a called strike 3 is a lot different than a missed call at home with the winning run…
i dont remember us winning a game that the opposing team had a blown call at home plate that would have given them the win, but instead we won it in extras.

that everything would have gone exactly as it has gone now.

It does matter, denying it won’t make it any different.
the giants are at least guaranteed a one game playoff for the division if the pads lose, as opposed to perhaps losing it on the last day
then again, not if Matthew Thomas Cain has anything to say about it

Don’t know if it has been discussed yet, but even if the Giants win tomorrow, they may not be able to play rookie games on Saturday and Sunday as long as the Padres are still fighting for the wild card.
But we may still want to kick Padres butts out of the wildcard, if that's not already decided
Plus, even if we don’t care, we need to apply the same logic that the Cubs did playing their butts off in Petco.

The Cubs have nothing to play for but pride. The Giants, OTOH, do.

We'll just have to disagree
I think you can rest one or two starters and obviously someone like Freddie Sanchez who is hurting wouldn’t be played, but you cannot throw an all bench line-up out there when the game has playoff implications unless you don’t have any class.
Good thing we’re well-known for lacking class, then. ;-)
I’m just saying that the Giants’ first responsibility is to themselves and their fans, and that includes resting guys. You think that, if the situation were reversed, Cox would hesitate to rest his guys? I don’t.
Mole is banged-up.
Buster is a catcher, so could probably use a rest.
Huff is older, and fouled that ball off his shin not too long ago.
Torres had emergency surgery a couple weeks ago.
Uribe could use a breather.
Burrell, too.
i don’t think it’s unfair to anyone to rest those guys.
Besides, the Braves are in charge of their own destiny. Win two and they’re in. They don’t need our help, unless they want to back into the postseason.

I get it. Hes like young 20 something, competitive. Angry the old Giants lineup with Veliz and Molina in the lineup was easier to pwn than the new look Giants. But, you are on the Padres. You are on a bottom payroll team. Your team lead the division 90% of the year and drew 2.15 million fans to the games, only 150,000 more than last years terrible team. Easy 30% were fans of other teams, all year.
In short, you don’t know yet, your team doesnt have the money to add like the Giants and Dodgers. If you want to complain, I hope they trade you to Baltimore or Toronto. There you will see what it takes to beat 2 monster pay rolls.

Douchebag of the YEAR? Really?
Because he answered a question from a Chicago reporter about his impending free agency and maybe kinda failed to sprint all-out to first on a easy groundout?

I just remembered 'broken bat triple'....the weird thing is, I didn't flinch, my eyes did not flit around nervously...
I haven’t gotten rid of that nervousness completely…once the Padres are eliminated…then, only then will I be able to relax fully.
MAALOX! Slowly I turned, step by step ...

Someone sitting out games to win a batting title is in fact a douchebag, but since you bring it up a guy discussing his next destination in the middle of a pennant race, who stopped hustling and took an 0-for-the-series also a douchebag.

Reminds me of when Ted Williams had the batting title wrapped up. His manager told him he could take the last day off. Williams told him no way. He was playing.
"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." - John Wooden
It was better than that.
He was sitting at like .39965, and his manager pointed out that that would be rounded to .400, but Williams insisted on playing in both ends of a double-header and raised it to .406.
Ted Williams was so cool. As everyone probably already knows, the 50th anniversary of his career-ending, John-Updike-inspiring home run was a few days ago.

And they were happy about 28,000+ showing up for the final home game of a potential playoff team…

Yeah
You have to admire Cubs fans. They usually don’t have much to cheer about but they are always there cheering anyway.
I know when I used to go to AZ for ST there were always Cubs fans everywhere.
Did you catch the ad for playoff tickets right after the loss?

Let's hear it for the Cubs
They went into San Diego with nothing to play for but pride and they took 3/4 from a Padres team that is fighting for a division title.

Everyone playing them tough, and Giants and Braves winning their games vs non contenders. Screw that, Milwakee beat us 2 of 3, and we had zero gimmies in Colorado, in Chicago and Arizona made our hearts practically explode for 3 wins.

not that GLB is full of geniuses, but I’d go easy on the Padres fans.. they didn’t choke. They had as many hits as their players did. Let’s not kick ‘em too hard while they’re down. We’ve been there.
Fuck that
After all the sexist, racist and homophobic remarks that GLB has made I hope the Giants absolutely destroy that completely pathetic organization and their pathetic, non-existent fanbase.

I don't despise the Padres fans...pity is probably the right word for it
The way the Padres was winning did make me sick
Padres fans are the fans I cross the street and keep walking for.
Ryan Rohlinger lives in my basement. I let him out to play baseball.
It was discussed yesterday

Snakes – vaguely misguided transplants

Rockies – the fans who will quietly conspire to keep me out of their country club
Dodgers – actors

Be glad that your team that was supposed to be bad this year actually gave you something to watch. Maybe if you go out and see them play they can win more often.

I’m almost happy about Cuzzi. Why? because now they will clinch in front of the fans at home, we will see Willy throw a 99mph heater, tony gwynn jr swing and miss, posey jump up fist pumping, the team mob the field, the whole deal.
It’s gonna feel like xmas. But better
Wait this is Cuzzi's crew?
Does this mean we get the guy who is even crappier than him and calls strikes two feet off the plate?
Joe Mauer is from Minnesota. My adopted son, RHP Steve Edlefsen, is from Minnesota. Joe Mauer is very good at baseball. Call up Steve Edlefsen, Giants! Science™ is begging you.

no, the Cuzzi game, I’m now happy about, since the Pads lost. Because if he hadn’t fucked up, then we would have clinched ten min ago. But now, we clinch at home this weekend in front of 43,000 and the team get’s their champagne shower

which PGT writeup is it
that Grant was like, it looks like its over, the giants could still go all july on us in september, but thats probably not gonna happen.
Ah, such a long way weve come
probably after the ARI series at home last month, after Barry Zito gave up 6 runs in the first, and Guillen dropped a routine fly.
either that, or the next day, when sanchez gave up 7 runs, and we lost yet again

One thing that i like, is that wearing a giants hat or jersey uptown wont be a problem since
nobody cares here in Oxford, UNLESS they were playing the Reds, so if the giants do get to the playoffs or for that matter the Reds and Giants play against eachother, i’m sure to get a ton of shit
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Hopefully they DFA or non-tender Ludwick during the offseason, and the Giants pick him up. He’d make a great platoon with Ross (or starter if he kills it in ST), or we trade Ross for good stuff and keep Ludwick
Both are Left hand throwing, Right hand hitters
