8/15 GDT Nats @ Giants

Well they switched off the game for the Hernandez perfect game watch.

Meaning...? Does that make you a natural sports optimist?

There it is!

Walsh, Montana, Rice and Co. pulled the rabbit out of the hat so many times that I came to expect great endings when watching sports.

Only on your MLBTV app, hidden in the garage.

LOL!

It's a lot easier to follow far off teams in the wired age.

When my wife wants to pick on me she'll ask who I'd root for in a White Sox - Giants WS. I'd go Giants, honestly, but she doesn't believe me. Fortunately I doubt I'll ever have to face that situation.

 

[gp956]

Totally spoiled by the Niners while growing up, which set me up for total heartbreak by the Giants.

Best football dynasty ever.

Meanwhile, the Nationals' hit parade continues.

Is it just me or does every recent no hitter seem to come vs the Rays? Not Cain's but everyone else's?

It seems like it.

They switched back and i don't mind it too much. It is historical. Just being an out of town fan, it sucks when you get to see your guys play rarely, and they switch in and out in one of the games.

It makes sense because, if I'm not mistaken, they have a lot of guys who strikeout a lot in that lineup.

Just noticed Bochy benched Scutaro for Theriot. Got to add that to the list......

Behind an old baby's crib, a photo album of crazy shit MSG did in his 20s, and a box of broken dreams.

(well, as a fellow married dude with two kids, that's what my garage looks like)

Apparently Scutaro got beaned in the head by Stasberg earlier in the year.

(I'd still add it to the list)

Are the Giants on a strict hits limit?

LOL. When the kids get older, get a storage locker.

Get out of my mind!

Seriously I have exactly those things in mine too. Crib, pix, dreams.

LOL. Bochy to hold a special grievance session tomorrow during the off day. Town hall style.

Does seem that way don't it?

After Poseygate last year they lost 1-0 at home, managed only a couple hits.

Too bad Strasburg is going to be shut down. Would have been a ton of fun to see him in the postseason.

I thought the idea was shut down for rest of reg season, but pitch in playoffs? If not that's kinda dumb.

And why does it have to be games? Why not let him pitch 3-4 innings per start instead? Or go to a 6 man rotation?
