OK, so I had a post-game prep semi written about this game, but the extra innings blew my mind. Let’s start with why we got there.
A lot of people are and will be cursing out Bruce Bochy and Brian Wilson for this game. Tim looked a bit tired, but I think he could have gone at least one more batter. Brian has been perfect all year so he was due to blow it. You can also argue that the pitch before the 3-run hit definitely should be a strike.
But it wasn’t called and we lost the game. That’s it. Bochy should have let Tim pitch one more, the game wouldn’t have been decided at that point.
TO SUM IT UP:
The FS Official Live Game Blog is 3-0 and looking to remain undefeated today.
Meanwhile, the San Francisco Giants keep winning. No, not a typo, the Giants keep winning. Already with a series win in their back pocket, San Francisco aims its sights at a sweep.. against the Phillies.. in a series where Todd Wellemeyer pitched.. AND TORRES STARTED! What the f.
BTW Sorry for the lack of updates.. I’ve received hundreds of e-mails and thanks for your best wishes and concerns. FIRE-SABEAN has just been hard at work at its new animated series: “Bruce and Brian”. The pilot episode is slated to launch some time in May, maybe June.. possibly July (we are on the same plan as Freddy Sanchez).
SO SCREW IT, LET’S GET TO IT!!!!!!!
Fire-Sabean is hooking up with Herding Cattle Productions to put together a pilot episode for the Bruce and Brian show.
The show documents the behind the scene lives of Bruce and Brian as they live in the same condo down the street from the park.
We find out their intentions could be worse than anyone expected! Stay tuned for the premiere..!
OK, IT’S TIME TO PLAY: WHO IS HE????
His first at-bat is a check-swing dribbler back to the mound and Mike Krukow says: “Is there anything worse in baseball than that hit?” Kuip then tells Krukow that he’d rather be in a cast for a week than hit a ball like that.
Then in the next inning, he ignores the right-fielder calling him off, almost runs into him, then spins around and throws the ball as hard as he can into the infield — he forgot there were two outs already.
He is worse than Andres Torres batting average… WHO IS HE?
Anyone remember Felipe Alou? My favorite part of going to a game was watching Alou in the dugout — sleeping.
The day was November 22, 2002. I was 15 at the time and coming into my adolescent prime. I had armpit hair, I was about to get a license and I knew everything. Besides the fact that my team SHOULD have won the World Series the year before, life was good.
Following that heartbreaking loss, the Giants let Dusty Baker hit the dusty trail — RIP.
They did it to bring in a man who was fired in Montreal after 9 seasons of never making the playoffs and a .500 career record. Alou inherited a great team and they went 100-61 only to get gobbled up by Florida in the NLDS.
If you’re a Giants fan and reading this on or around April 19th you are probably angry at these people:
All with validity.
Again…
So this leftie matchup thing, as predicted, looks to be Bochy’s staple this year — along with ill-timed hit-and-runs and strict by-the-book management style. And by by the book I mean he will never stray away from match-ups and numbers even though MANNY is at the plate.. those numbers don’t apply to Manny.
His patented coaching style has led him to a career .500 record and minimal playoff success.
Fred Lewis and Kevin Frandsen looked like decent sells. We didn’t get a lot, but everyone likes cash.
Then in consecutive days, Mark DeRosa goes out after his superman slide and Aaron Rowand gets his face broken.
Ouch on many different levels. This leaves the Giants with one option, a no-brainer — His last name starts with a D. No, not Dye.. but DOWNS! MATT FREAKIN’ DOWNS!
The cash just pocketed from those two outfielders will surely go to good use, so for now we get to see our old buddy Matt again.
Manny being Manny.. Why throw the same pitch twice?
Romo doing his praying/thanking thing as he left the mound.. why? You lost the game.
Bochy taking Romo over Brian Wilson and Jeremy Affeldt, both better than Romo.
Torres.. why is he starting/playing/batting ever? I’ve said this for quite some time.
That is all, I’m taking the day off.
