Thanks Giants for freeing up my Saturday afternoon.

 

[Hangman]

Can we restart this game?

 

[calsnowskier]

So…

um…

No game today??

Man my wild card team prediction doesn’t look great so far. Lots of time left of course. Arizona won 84 games and got to the World Series last year. It’s about getting hot at the end, just gotta keep from falling too far back early.

 

[calsnowskier]

Fan’s bias, of course, but it certainly seams like the Giants are giving up a shit ton of dinks and doinks while hitting a shit ton of at ‘ems. And when they have the chance for something going their way (all defensive players losing a pop up, for example), there just happens to one of the players standing right where the ball comes down and he sees it just in time to make the catch.

When are we going to stop paying the baseball gods for 10-14?

So many teams want just one ring and we got 3 close together. Many of us made bargains with the baseball gods asking for just one. Uno! Maybe it will be a while…..

we paid our dues in 2nd 1/2 of '16.... this is just plain vindictive

Start selling for prospects. Aint no saving this garbage

As oddly good as the ’21 team was, the second half of ‘16 was equally shockingly bad. I am still waiting for the tell all book about that season to come out.

 

[calsnowskier]

I just want Mel to put Rodriquez in for the 3rd, then I can turn this off. I want to take a look at this kid.

 

[calsnowskier]

So…

When the Giants are hitting, the Phil’s have a good-condition field to handle ground balls while the Giants need to field balls caked in mud. That can’t be legal, can it?

 

[Stokes1931]

Some doofus thought trading for White was a good idea?!? And giving him a spot on the 40?

 

[sf1giantfan]

Is it just me, or does it seem the longer this game goes the more likely the Giants don’t win?

 

[calsnowskier]

Tough to see the Giants waste their offensive explosion in a game like this.

 

[Stokes1931]

Giants were 4-10 with RISP

And scored only 3 runs

Can't make this stuff up. Too slow.

How long can we say this is a SSS? The season is 21% finished.
