PrintThis is corporal Pete. I don't know what happened to the officers. And this fanpost might be targeted by an enemy drone. All I know is there is a ballgame about to begin and we need to do battle. I do have good news for the troops. The enemy Giants won't be sending their warrior Lincecum against us, instead, it'll be a reserve soldier. We're going against the once great Zito tonight and he has shown some of his old moxy, but the boys should handle him. Let's go!

thanks for starting a game thread ol pete
I tried to do it a bit ago but realized I needed 75 words… and double spacing doesn’t count like it did in highschool
Over/Under 6 innings for Seth?

White Sox just tied up the game once again in bottom of the 8th
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
whew, we have a game thread
McClung doing well for one inning, at least. Hopefully he’ll prove that 73 > 75. _
Hardy struck out in the first inning last night
So look for a HR next time up ;)
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
Schierholtz?
I guess he is filling in the role that the Tigers’ guy did who bounced around the minors – get more hits than I understand.
I don't know about Braun
…or McGehee, for that matter. He’s better at 3rd. McClung needs Counsell out there at 2nd.
Braun’s playing like he recently graduated from the Delmon Young School of Left Fielding.
could have been a much worse inning I guess
time for the bats to pick the Son of Clung up
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
We've to hold up our end now, let's go cerveceros!

Like Rock said
there are only three guys in this lineup with power. Why throw that pitch to one of them?
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
you didn't mention pinch-hit
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
maybe Macha and Bochy worked out a deal
Bochy agreed to start Sadowski tomorrow if Macha agreed to McClung
Man, I think our park is just a LITTLE bit too big
We’ve had a lot of balls coming up just short lately
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
that was tantalizingly close
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
I miss the old Barry Zito
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Alright, let's string some hits together guys!
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Effective pitching change
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
You know it's bad when I'm really disappointed that Hall couldn't get a hit
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
he's in that Jason Kendall area now
the bar is set so low, as long as he doesn’t injure a teammate it’s a successful AB

Is his hand bothering him?
He’s looked at it a couple times after swinging. Maybe a trip to the DL would be best for all parties.
Apparently they knew Hardy would have a long AB
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Bite you tongue :-P
we’ve had a hard enough time just getting people on base, I am more than happy with that
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
HELLO!!!!!
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Bill calls it a 3 pointer
field goal for Prince. The kids over at McCoven chronicles like to say “STFD.” Well, Barry, STFD!
Whoooooo!!!
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
I like that the first comment I posted about 10 minutes ago was how lame this game was
and look what’s happened since then!
This game is lame
lame lame lame lame lame lame lame … (hoping this helps!)
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
That was painful
MLB.tv froze on me just as McGehee hit the ball and it left the frame.
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
In other news
Nashville is winning 11-1. Escobar, Salome, and Gillespie all have two hits. Iribarren and Katin homered.
It was a great selection of awesome.
Sandoval has three homers, but they were all solo shots
Prince says, “That’s the beauty of on-base percentage.”
It was a great selection of awesome.
That would have sucked
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
I know it's unconventional...
But I kind of want to intentionally walk the Panda here, even though there’s no one on even.
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
I like Coffey taking his time on that play
I’m always nervous about them throwing to first
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
It was the one non-homer he allowed all inning
He wanted to savor it.
It was a great selection of awesome.
Why you gotta make me nervous like that!!
I thought that was an OMGGGG like it was bad!!!
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
I can't believe how far that carried
And I really can’t believe that he caught it.
It was a great selection of awesome.
That hung in the air forever
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Holy shit!!
That was crazy!!!
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Thanks
I listen to all the games on radio, so I really appreciate the videos you post
McGehee is up
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
I'm so jealous of my future brother & sister-in-law
That they get to be at this game. Up until an inning ago, I was feeling sorry for them
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Totally agree
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Jason Kendall Bobblehead day tomorrow
For all those effigies you’ve been planning
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Coffey batting, good idea or bad idea
I’m going with bad, since he almost gave up two HR last inning
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Brian says it's okay to let Coffey hit "because the Brewers hit home runs"
It was a great selection of awesome.
Awesome
2-strikes now
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Can't believe that stayed fair
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
No Bill, the Brewers are not "one shy" in that bullpen
Unless that’s an oblique Narveson joke. We had an extra bullpen guy and four starters until today.
It was a great selection of awesome.
i bet you it was supposed to be a safety bunt
his running out to the mound is just preparation for bunting for a hit.
Wow, a feet-first slide into first
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that before.
It was a great selection of awesome.
All of the kids I coached were experts in the "leap high in the air and come down squarely in the middle of first base" technique
It took awhile for them to believe me that you could overrun the bag.
It was a great selection of awesome.
Gotta make sure the umpire sees you touch the bag
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
I was thinking the same thing
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
It's really hard not to go to the evil BCB
and thank them for McGehee
I've told Cub fans I work with thank you for that
It’s less effective when they say “Who?”
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
I think most of them don't realize we got him basically for free because he played so little for them
Great offseason for Hendry… Bradley, DeRosa, McGehee, the list goes on.
are they playing the 4th?
because i can’t wait to hail this flag.

It makes me smile
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Ladies and Gentlemen...
Ken Macha!!!
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
I know allowing Stetter to face the righty occurred to him
He’s done it many times. Baffling.
It was a great selection of awesome.
Has Elias figured out
Where Setter’s consecutive outs via K stands in history?
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
It ended in his last outing
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
really? i didn't get a chance to watch but i thought i didn't see him in the box score yesterday.

It was the last Twins game
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Two days ago
- M. Stetter relieved C. Narveson
- D. Span scored, B. Harris to second on passed ball
- J. Mauer ground rule double to deep left center, B. Harris scored
- J. Morneau struck out swinging
- J. Kubel flied out to right
- M. Cuddyer intentionally walked
It was a great selection of awesome.
Nice. that's my boy stetter!
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
I'd rather see Coffee as the pinch runner
Assuming the ultimate warrior music plays at the same time
How did he get a bat on that?
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Wow, it only took two batters
For Romo to become the LVP of the game so far
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Effective sacrifice
Does that count as a bunt Rock?
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
IBB for McGehee?
Is that his first?
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Come on Mike Hammerin!!
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
I saw him swinging at that from a mile away
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Fuck you Cameron!!
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Hoffman has not been fooling anyone lately
I don’t like this
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
If he keeps this up he won't be
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
and the offense
He should have had a cushion from the last inning, no question about it
Then Hall plays up for possible bunt
and one gets by him that may have been a DP ball if he was playing at normal depth
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Sounds like Counsel
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Is it just me
Or has every Giant reliever had an ERA of around 2.90?
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Looks like CC too
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Kendall pinch-running for Counsell
You know the guy’s banged-up when…
It was a great selection of awesome.
Grit for Grit Pinch runner
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
I listen to a lot of Giant's games because their radio crew is so good
and because I love Randy Johnson
game day hiccups
what happened with Braun?
lets give prince
the rufio treatment from Hook

not sure how it would go on second thought...
might be kind of awkward…
::Another 95% plus FanGraphs win goes right down the fucking tubes:: Indians fan after Prince's Grand Salami
lyin in bed
just like the San Fran closer
The official scorer can give it to someone else if he wants
Stetter deserves it.
It was a great selection of awesome.
yep
after I typed it, I thought maybe this could be one of those cases with no winning pitcher

One of the greatest games i've ever watched
UNTUCK ’EM BOYS!!
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
I just saw on gameday that Prince got a double
how in the heck did he get to second before Hart scored?
UN. TUCK. EM!!!
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
Oakland down 7-2
all the buzzes are harshed

How do I love that win:
Let me count the ways:
One, Fielder making a 0-4 game a 4-3 game
Two, McGehee ties on the next at bat
Three, Saddness befalls Hoffman when he comes without a save, but hope exists
Four, Crew rallies behind some nice hitting from Hart, Gamel
Five, The Prince is my hero
after such an atrocious June
it’s amazing to think that we are still in first place!
corporal Pete leads a ragtag band of bloggers to an unlikely victory?
Now where is the hot French girl?
