Post-game thread: Ryan Vogelsong and Eli Whiteside dominate
by Grant Brisbee on Jun 22, 2011 10:39 PM PDT
Email
PrintThis is just a placeholder thread until I get back from the game, but until then, try to think of a headline for a 2012 post-game thread that will seem as bizarre as this one does.
"Post-game thread: Kurt Ainsworth and Chris Stewart dominate."
"Post-game thread: Scott Barnes and Max Ramirez do it again."
"Post-game thread: Danny Darwin and Yamid Haad explode with nougaty goodness."
This Vogelsong thing is getting ridiculous.

"A specter is haunting the Bullpen- the specter of Affeldt."
Ryan Spilborghs hit a walk-off grand slam in extra innings to beat the Giants after they scored three in the top of the inning. I believe this was in August of 2009.

GROUGTHINK ALERT
This baseball thing is pretty cool
LOL
After being optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs, Dexter Fowler is back in the minors trying to show the Rockies that he can still help them win baseball games. I honestly have no idea whether he helped or hurt his cause last night. Below is a breakdown of his six plate appearances in their 5-4 extra innings victory over Tacoma:
1st inning: Walk
3rd inning: Walk
5th inning: Walk
7th inning: Walk
11th inning: Walk
13th inning: Line out
By drawing walks in each of his first five plate appearances, Fowler tied the PCL record for most walks in a single game. His OBP for the evening was a stellar .833, even after he got tired of free passes and swung at the first pitch he saw in his final at-bat. Anyone who can get on base five times in a ballgame is helping their team win, right?
Err, maybe not. Here’s what else Fowler did after reaching base last night:
1st inning: Doubled off first base on a fly out to right field.
3rd inning: Thrown out trying to advance to third base on a single to left field.
5th inning: Picked off first base by pitcher.
7th inning: Out at second on a double play groundout.
11th inning: Drama Free!

I was at the game and I scored Vogelsongs run as unearned and an error by Crawford.
When I got home and checked MLB, it was a hit and not an
error, and the run was earned. What was the official score

Barry’s flaxseed oil, or some of Frandsen’s ritalin? Please
splain to me how the official scorer saw this from some
other vantage point. Where is Albert Einstein when you

Post-game thread: Giants Win World Series
Oh wait. Yeah that was cool. Glad the Giants won today I suppose. Better than losing.
That is cray-z.

They were absolutely fantastic
And Titus Andronicus wasn’t as meh as I had expected. Hooray for low expectations!
I also ended up getting oddly and awkwardly close with a platonic friend I’ve known since middle school. That was a little weird.
The first six innings are overrated.
I really enjoyed Titus Andronicus. They did their big epic song!
Of course, as soon as they finished the woman next to me was like, “WELL WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THAT BAND SO I CAN NEVER LISTEN TO THEM AGAIN!” She didn’t like his voice.
I ended up buying The Monitor and Black Sheep Boy after the show.

A More Perfect Union?
I was incredibly happy that most (all?) of their set was from The Monitor. But I also feel kinda bad that I haven’t kept up with Okkervil River much since Stage Names. Unless it Kicks is an excellent encore/closer..
The first six innings are overrated.
The Battle of Hampton Roads – it was probably the one that felt like it kept going and going. Awesome song though.
I was actually a little happy they didn’t play all that much from the new album. It’s solid but I think they chose the right songs to do (Wake and Be Fine, White Shadow Waltz, The Valley, Your Past Life as a Blast are all great and were great live). I was happy with the amount of Black Sheep Boy they did (OMG solo acoustic A Stone).
And So Come Back, I Am Waiting + Westfall = me going home happy for sure. Holy crap Westfall was intense.

A More Perfect Union is great too

You can’t go wrong with a 7 minute song about New Jersey that starts with a Lincoln quote.
And yeah, Westfall was unexpected and great. For some reason I kinda assumed they would forget about everything that came before Black Sheep Boy.
I’m also not sure what to think of the guy from Titus repeatedly asking what was going on in the Mets game. I guess it’s better than liking the Yankees.
The first six innings are overrated.
He is from New Jersey, so we’ll give him a break. And they were playing the A’s, so it was kind of relevant!
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

I was so disappointed that they were showing the A’s game in that other room instead of the Giants. I know we’re in Oakland, but really?
That was the first time I’ve been to a show there and it’s pretty nice. Still think Great American is the best of the bunch, though. We also ended up parking by New Parish, which looks just absurdly small (which may be a good thing).
The first six innings are overrated.
That was my third show at the Fox (also saw Tegan and Sara and The National there) and I’m a big fan.
GAMH is the best though.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

Yeah, GAMH wins in terms of perfect size and great atmosphere. I think my biggest recent concert regret was not trying hard enough to get tickets to see Arcade Fire and Wolf Parade there (i think that’s where they were…) when Funeral first came out.
I’m now incredibly interested in going to New Parish though, it’s like almost apartment sized. Blonde Redhead is gonna be there next week…
The first six innings are overrated.
i don't understand how people don't appreciate unique voices ......
but they’ll listen to Led Zepplin. ummm ……

There should be a law against the number of changes the dbacks have made in the short time theyve been in the league

I didn’t even know they once had that snake head that’s in between all those A’s and D’s.

All those teal/purple/black teams from the 90s should just be required to wear black and white unis with “home” or “visitor” on the front like a prison team.
