This!

The Giants have earned our respect.:clap:

Well, the bandwagon is crowded these days.

I jumped on when I was 8.

Cubs fans are the worst....and I don't feel bad for them and their decades (century) of bad luck either because the Cubs fans that I am around deserve it.

Like DJ said in a vacuum yeah great year nothing to be upset about.


But when you have a team on the ropes and a chance to deliver a knock out blow at home you damn well better do it. You most certainly don't fall apart at the plate on the mound and in the field like they have done.


This was supposed to be a veteran experienced team. Finish this shit off

Too bad they're all dating each other. :D

San Francisco? :spock:

I've never been there, so honestly, I probably shouldn't run my trap.... My perception has been molded by the first things I think of when I hear about SF which are; Full House, hippies, Kenny Powers's prejudiced comments about SF at the first part of the first episode, the South Park "smug" episode and how everything we covered in an Alternative Lifestyles course in college was always somehow connected to San Francisco.

ROFL

I hopped on towards the end of the Holtz era. Growing up, ND was good and watching football with my dad and my grandpa generally revolved around ND being good. My dad tended to root for OU, my grandpa rooted for anyone from the B1G.

They never really rooted for ND, I just knew they were supposed to win. Then suddenly they weren't winning very often and that just didn't seem right to me. So I started rooting for ND to win.

Then came Bob Davie. I've rarely been as angry with anyone as I was when Davie decided it would be brilliant to send a sellout blitz against Michigan State while leading by more than a FG and having your opponent pinned inside their own 20 with about a minute left in the game. I hate you Bob Davie. Oh how I hate you.

As I went off to college (that wasn't ND), the Domers took on a clear second fiddle status to Mizzou. That said, I'll still root for them over anyone else because by God, college football is better when Notre Dame has that bullseye on their back.

What time is the game? I need time to go to Hibbets at get a sweet Giants lid.


:D

Hell yea and half the guys are gay. All my young advisors want us to move there so I am trying to in March. Views of the bay and the bridge. South of market is red hot right now.

****ing truth.

Yea well you probably don't want to hang out in the Castro but there are some really great places there. I hope I get the office suite I am working on right now. It's a rocks throw away from AT&T park.

I jumped on when I was about 8 also...right at the end of the Mirer era. My grandma has 14 sisters and 2 brothers and one of her sister's grand kids (my distant cousin) married Lou Holtz's son. I used to come to school bragging about how I was related to Holtz (although I'm not). I've never met Holtz...or his son or my cousin that he married. Hell, I don't even know which son she married, could be Skip for all I know.... I just took what my Grandma told me, confirmed it with my mom and dad and ran with it....been an Irish fan ever since. :)

Mike Matheny is tougher than me:

i noticed that.

I have been a fan for as long as i can remember. Go Irish!

RIP Dave May, 68.

One of the very few native Delawareans to play big league ball; he had a 12 year career. His son Derrick also played for ten years, and is apparently a Cardinals minor league hitting coach, which is why I felt relatively safe trolling the thread with this post.

**** I hope this rain delay doesn't last long.

They are saying its going to start on time now.

Everyone is always welcome in here. We will talk a lot of baseball realted issues in here over the year because its usually the only baseball thread on the front page.

We rarely have an issue with trolls anymore so everyone is usally pretty welcoming.

Did you know Dave or his son? Or just some state pride?

Brc the royals thread is on the front page quite a bit too.


not a cards fan here but I will be rooting for them tonight.

Father in law had a severe stroke and is in the hospital. Huge fan.

Told us all he has a box for the world series and was going to surprise us. So I guess most of us will get to go. But not him. Sad panda here.

Nah, didn't know them. State pride, as you've already guessed.

and...

GAME SEVEN. Don't those words alone just get the butterflies going? This is good stuff.

I have the most difficult time finding freaking streams for baseball games. I end up searching for 30 minutes every damn time. I am pinching a penny due to going through some financial woes, so don't have any TV that the bunny ears don't pick up on. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Btw, firstrowsports.eu says I need to download this stream app to get the game...I am not taking that route.

Sorry to hear about your father in law. Hope the cards can pull this out and in some minor way help cheer him up.

Right on, bruh!:thumb:

Its on FOX?

This is embarrassing, BUT.....bunny ears aren't picking up Fox at the moment. Getting the CW, but not Fox.

And both teams have been successful with win or go home games.
SF -5-0
STL 6-0

Gah....Joe Buck. Can't stand listening to him.

He's better than McCarver. Wish Costas could do the playoffs.

What's with all the empty seats? It's Game ****ing 7, FFS.

Nevermind....adjusted the bunny ears and am getting a muffled version of it, but better than nothing.

My favorite announcer is Joe Morgan, but he's too technical for the average fan I think.

Problem is we're playing a team that's been there and done that, not the never-won-shit Nationals. I sure would feel better about this game if it was being played in St. Louis. But Lohse is probably the best guy for the job. I guess we'll see.

I see Craig continues to have good at bats

Good to see the plan hasn't changed. Still chasing pitches way out of the zone.

That turd should be batting 8th the way he's been hitting lately. :banghead:

All three outs were made on pitches out of the zone.

Holliday hit thAt ball pretty hard to center so there's that but they keep pounding Craig in and he keeps getting himself out

Holliday laid off that crap that had been killing us but Jay swung at that high pitch and Craig swung at the inside crap pitch.

yep. They have to be disciplined. The only good thing I saw was Cain was missing his spot several times.

Lohse keep the ball down ffs

I use this a lot.

Here's the game: http://www.vipboxsports.eu/baseball/...am-online.html

The trick is- don't click anything they ask you to.

1) A big ad will appear in the center. Close it. It'll trigger a popup window. Close that.

2) There will be an ad in the center of the screen. It may tell you to download something or that your computer has a problem. Ignore it and DON'T CLICK ANYTHING. Wait about 20-30 seconds; it'll go away.

3) There will still be a small box in the center of the screen. Don't click it, either. After a few seconds a blue X will appear in the top left of it. Don't click that, either. Mouse over it and a tiny X will appear at the bottom left.

4) What are you waiting for? Click it! This also works for the banner ad at the bottom.

5) Watch baseball.

MM has the Larussa loyalty gene.

Pathetic

Who you gonna bat 4th? No one is hitting the ball

I'd put Beltran there and Craig 2nd.

****ing Kozma needs to relax.

The dude has been money since Furcal went down.

nice at bats from Molina and freese.

Unlucky there. Infield in, that ball usually goes through.

EDIT: Corner infielders, I mean.

better be deep with Molina running ROFL

come on loshe

Awesome. Two on, no outs and nothing.

What a grab

Cain is missing his spots. The ball to Loshe was suppose to be way outside and it was a middle of the plate belt high pitch. We are going to get to him sooner or later.

Might have got him right there if you had a DH...

No we won't cause we are fundamental midgets at the plate



And for that matter in the field

Same as game 2 kozma absolutely has to put that ball In play somewhere

Might have gotten to him if we had any ****ing plate discipline.

Cain walks two to start the inning, then Descalso goes up there first pitch swinging.

****ing sloppy.

Panda put it in play they scored a run. We didn't and didnt score.

3rd inning may be our best chance to get to Cain. Top of the lineup and no one will be up in the SF bullpen yet.

Hanging breaking ball right over the middle.

Lohse is awful so far. Cain hasn't been much better, but Cards have nothing to show for it.

We foul off middle of the plate fastballs and spinning breaking balls

From Crawfords at bat

good start

Is there a point behind this?

As bad as the cards have been the giants have done no wrong the last 3 games

We haven't centered up a ball in seems like a year
