Post-game thread: Sanchez dominates, Giants take series

After Jonathan Sanchez opened his yap, and promptly had his yap shut, for predicting a Giants sweep over the Padres a couple of weeks ago, there was a bit of anti-Sanchez backlash. Shoulda traded him for Corey Hart, I remember reading. Shoulda traded him for Jose Guillen, one KNBR caller opined before the Giants acquired Guillen for a couple of goldfish.
So with great pleasure, I would like to point out that the world usually metes out yap-shutting tokens evenly over the years. The anti-Sanchez faction all now have one of those yap-shutting tokens. They can hold onto it, they can redeem the token for prizes when the time is right...really, the choice is theirs. Just so long as they shut their yap. It was a big, important game tonight. Jonathan Sanchez rose to the occasion. He pitched beautifully.
So, please, let's have a moratorium on the Sanchez-for-middling-slugger talk for a while. Maybe for the entire offseason. A lefty who can make hitters look that bad when he's on isn't someone you trade for a competent corner outfielder.
Also of note: Juan Uribe is going to be remembered as a Giant for decades because of the home runs he's hit. Dude has a sense of timing, and in 2061, a bunch of crusty old-timers will get giddy telling stories about him and his beautiful jazz hands.
In the sixth inning of last night's game, the word that kept rattling around my pea-brain was "salvage." The Giants need to salvage at least one game in this series, I thought.
Heh. I love the smell of a Dodgers series-win in the evening.

you read my mind. Though his single in the 1st was good, he killed off Posey right before Sandoval would have doubled him in in the 4th.
Really?
After a win like this, you’re going to mention this? If the Giants won the World Series are you going to be unhappy if Guillen is in the lineup in the clinching game?

anti-Sanchez vs. pro-trading-Sanchez
Well no one can really argue that there’s no Sanchez trade of value, or that the Giants didn’t have good pitching depth.
I’d define “Pro-Sanchez” as “believes Sanchez is going to pull it all together to be a consistent #2-quality guy,” while “Anti-Sanchez” means “He’ll never have more value than this (pre-trading deadline) because he’ll never get younger or more consistent.”

Eh, beginning in 1984, the starting rate at UPS was 8.35… with yearly raises. If you qualified as a sorter and got the extra $1, you would get over $10/hr as a part timer in a couple of years, but the work was physically demanding. We had a lot of college students there.

Really hard not to love this team between how awesome Buster is, the amazing ability Uribe has to have big ABs and the abusive love fest between Burrell and Huff. In fact, the only thing I don’t love is Guillen who I still believe is an evil secret agent trying to destroy our chances at making the post season. If he’d find his way to the Garko section of the bench, I’d be most happy.
Padres
The thing I love is that this is the first time they’ve faced any adversity this year, and for a lot of their young players the first time ever under the pressure of a pennant race. It’s completely fucking with their chi in a way that it wouldn’t have if they had played like a bunch of mortals the previous 5 months of the year instead of somehow being immune to the basic laws of baseball and not even losing 3 straight more than once.

On the flipside, we could stand a "fluke" 18-for-20 streak, just to be on the safe side.
It hasn’t felt like it at the time, but the Giants have been a fairly consistent team this season, and that’s part of why we are where we are right now. Yeah, we had a 7 game losing streak, but it hasn’t been such an extreme swing each way; we generally tend to split/win series, with the occasional loss/being swept. I’m ready to go on a tear. That would be nice.
Better to be a Giants fan than an Athletic supporter!

"He'll need a rocket up his ass to catch that one .... that baby's out of here!"
from the AP game recap
The Dodgers intentionally walked Uribe in his first two at-bats, mindful that first base was open and he had burned them Saturday night with a go-ahead homer in the ninth.
But Hiroki Kuroda (10-12) pitched to Uribe in the seventh and he sent a 1-2 pitch into the lower left-field seats, raising his arms as soon as he connected. Pablo Sandoval, who reached on a leadoff single, also scored.
Sportswriters need to start learning the proper terminology.

If I recall correctly
It is in place to honor war veterans…
If you look at it from certain angles the boy appears to be riding on top of the turtle and not riding the turtle…
I don’t know, when I moved there people would ask if I had seen “boy and turtle” yet, and we would all go downtown and laugh at the boy fucking the turtle….Everyone’s favorite part is how the turtle looks to be in pain and the boy has a very smug, “yeah, you like that”, expression on his face…
There were T-shirts going around for awhile too…
I don’t have any sort of logical explanation…

Even I don’t really remember that. I went to two games at Candlestick (one in 1997, one in 1999), but they’ve sort of blended into one in my memory, and all I remember was that it was really really cold, and that Keith Foulke was on the mound for one of them. I didn’t get into baseball until 2001.

That’s actually not completely true. “Hispanic” refers to being of origin from Spain. Quite a few people of Latin-American origin actually don’t like being referred to as hispanic and prefer Latina/Latino.

There are plenty of beautiful white girls
The problem is the average asian male, aka, Moi, does not appeal to them. It might be the body type, the whole English is my second language thing, I dunno. But it is pretty much consensus amongst first generation Asian immigrants such as myself that white girls are like the clouds up in the sky, beautiful to look at, wonderful to observe, but impossible to reach. I accept the class structure as is rather than to fight it for no apparent reasons.
It’s not like there is a lack of fucking scorching hot Asian girls or anything.

John (the immigrant) is really, really, really not wacky. I like him a lot, but he’s.. dull. Nice, fun, and all, but not wacky. Richard (1st gen) is pretty darned weird. Also nice and fun, but last I saw him had grown a preposterous fu-manchu thing on his chin as if that were a normal thing to do.
Fwiw, I am first-gen. Of central european stock, not that it matters.
Mostly, the difference in culture is what I'm referring to.
I remember my first year in the states (8th grade). In PE class the teacher told us it is most important to have fun in whatever activities you do. She asked the class “who thinks winning is more important than having fun?”
I was the only student that raised my hand. I didn’t understand how it is possible that having fun is more important than winning. There is nothing more important than winning. If you don’t win you disgrace your team, your family, and your teacher. That is way worse than not having fun.

I am constantly having this argument with my “assistant” she wants all the kids to always win, never take a risk, never fail. How the hell are they going to learn how to cope with disappointment in life if they are forever shielded from it when they are children.
Yeah
I understand the merits to both sides. You have to build a positive outlook in kids, as well as build a strong confidence. But at the same time, you give them this ideal that nothing will go wrong and spoil them in a sense.
The question is where the correct median is (and it depends for each child), and I’m no psychologist so I have no idea.

Biggest development of this weekend:
Giants fans’ cheers being heard loudly at Chavez Latrine. By the end of the game tonight, it almost felt like a home game for them.
I mention this because Giants fans have often dominated the crowd at Petco Park in recent years. Did you see the attendance figures for the Padres this weekend, when they were struggling and needed their fans?
Friday: 21,877
Saturday: 26,168
Today: 23,250
If I were the Fathers, I’d be very worried about playing a crucial four-game series against a division rival this coming weekend and seeing a sea of orange and black in the stands.

That park is so close to being awesome, yet so far. I couldn’t put my finger on it. It didn’t have the warmth (figurative, obvs) of AT&T. Oh, that’s it. It had no soul.
Highlight of the game was not the Padres losing, but the enraged posse of pimply teenagers exchanging angry words with some Phillies fans on their way out, culminating in them calling the Phillies fans bandwagoners. What a gem.

They were picking players for the wrap. Buster had pretty recently been called up and was in the midst of his hot streak. He had a good game but not his best game, and so they all mentioned him but no one picked him. That’s when Jon texted in. NOBODY PUTS BUSTER IN THE CORNER.

Dodgers Stadium was pretty dead. I was amazed that in my section (Top Deck, crappy seats, I know, but hey, it’s 12 bucks!) that the Giants fans were rowdier than the Dodgers fans. The Dodgers fans kind of just ate crow the whole night, especially after the Ethier and Kemp Ks.

Just got back
(Goddamn LA Traffic) But wow what an epic game. I just had a feeling that once Buster got that run in the 2nd (Oh what a beautiful slide) things were going to go our way. A few observations:
1. Buster Posey is dreamier in person…if that’s even possible.
2. Holy shit Jose Guillen is just insanely slow. I kept yelling at him the whole night and I booed him when they announced his name. He really does look hut though, on the double play he was hobbling to first. I don’t root for injury usually but man I hope he hits the DL so Bochy won’t play him.
3. Oh that Dodger sadness…it’s really a beautiful thing
4. Grant what an awesome catch to end the game. A beautiful way to end a beautiful night.
5. Beautiful Jazz hands by Juan it was awesome.
6. Finally Jonathan was just amazing tonight. He was throwing the ball for strikes and just totally mixing his pitches. He absolutely owned Kemp and Ethier and just really was a treat to watch, he made the hitters looked so stupid.
Also they showed a whole video montage of Tommy LaSorda (he was at the game) to the song “Praise you like I Should”…it made my eye twitch.
Great game Giants….oh yeah Go Fuck Yourself Dodgers…now do me a favor and kick San Diego in the balls and sweep them. Thanks.

Whether he’s actually sick or not, this would be an opportunity for the Padres to limit his innings. Even though San Diego is in a pretty dire situation and Latos is their best pitcher, he’s still a rookie, and he must be nearing or have already passed a career professional high in innings. The Giants may have to do something like this with MadBum soon.
