MLB About to start.....Giants Repeat?!?!

[In~Plain~Site]

Timmy has had 'off nights' since he tweaked that oblique/groin 2-3 starts ago.

He's hurt and not saying anything.

today is a must win for SF...tick tock

 

[Sour Deez]

Anyone know the last time the defending champs didnt make the playoffs the following year?

I feel like it actually wasnt that long ago but had trouble finding anything.

 

[Babbabud]

Come on Lets Go Giants !!

 

[mofeta]

How Giants feel today:

Brian Wilson after losing to AZ, wishing he wasn't on the DL.

Pablo Sandoval wishing he hadn't struck out.


What they see in their nightmares:

Ian Kennedy thrashing SF for win #18 this year.

Paul Goldschmidt crushing a Lincecum pitch to the deepest part of ATT Park.

Daniel Hudson thrashing SF for win #15 this year.

Giants get a chance for revenge with their final 3 game series against the Dbacks at Chase Field at the end of the month.

 

[BigDawg]

lol, yeah when the diamondbacks get hot this time of year, they get really HOT.

 

[Bullfrog44]

Hats off to the Diamondbacks. They were by far the better team this week. I wish our hitting would show up more often (Giants) but that is baseball. I don't think the Giants are done just yet, but that was a huge blow. If the Diamondbacks do take the west I hope you guys represent the west, take down the big boys along the way.


BTW - Mr and Mrs Babba: Could that snake that you guys had in your house be a horrible premonition to how poorly the Giants would soon play against the Arizona Diamondbacks? Crazy stuff you guys,.

Hats off to you, sir, for your excellent attitude!

I don't think the Giants are done just yet, but that was a huge blow.

Not done yet, but if they can't sweep Padres, I think that will show that their spirit is broken and they are through.

If the Diamondbacks do take the west I hope you guys represent the west, take down the big boys along the way.

I gotta start watching some Phillies and Brewers games, Atlanta too (wildcard). I think it can be done.

'Do not go gentle into that good night'

The Panda homers twice and Mad Bum throws a career high 13 k's
I'm reminded of the words of another great poet.

'It's not over 'till it's over'

 

[mofeta]

Wow! Giants give a demonstration of what it is to have heart and determination. I'm impressed. No broken spirit for them. Bumgarner and Sandoval both incredible, but Bumgarner was especially big-league. Good for them.

Diamondacks, on the other hand were less than stellar. They won, 10-7, but it ended up pretty ugly. Rockies scored 4 runs in the bottom of the ninth off one of our relievers. Had me worried. We also left a lot of guys on base. If we had played the way we did at SF it would have been like 16-0. Definitely not playoff level playing.

go Yankees.......


Robinson Cano swats his third grand slam in less than 30 days leading the redsox by 2.5 games. we celebrated a new hero today as well:

Jesus Montero reached across the plate and sent a 93 mph pitch about a dozen rows deep into the right-field seats for his first major league home run, a tiebreaking solo shot in the fifth. A Labor Day crowd of 45,069 at Yankee Stadium coaxed him out for a curtain call.

Two innings later, he leaned for a 94 mph pitch on the outside corner and drove it 10 rows into those same right-field seats, a little bit more toward the foul line. He had another opposite-field homer, a two-run shot. Curtain call No. 2 followed.

''I was dreaming of that before,'' Montero said Monday after boosting the Yankees over the Baltimore Orioles 11-10. ''I was always telling myself before, 'One day, I'm going to be that guy.'''


giants 7 games back and playing the diamond backs 3 more games? that's lotta season left to go.

giants 7 games back and playing the diamond backs 3 more games? that's lotta season left to go.

Yeah, anything can happen. But:

Dbacks magic number:15
Giants magic number:29

When you look at it that way, it looks grim for SF.

phillies reached 90 wins faster then any team in history, now thats saying something

I doubt that, in '98 the Yankees were 90 & 30 on August 16th, that's considerably better than Phillies 90 & 48 record today. of course I could be wrong if you're talking about them reaching 90 in a different yr.

not braggin' it up but like to back my words so here's the link (Wiki) to the Yankees '98 ~ 114 win season.....
'98 season stats

 

[SuperSizeMe]

Go Phightins!!!!

Go Phightins!!!!

phillies reached 90 wins faster then any team in history, now thats saying something

In their history

Still impressive, as well as Cliff Lee being named NL player of the month for the second time this season (June/August)
5-0 in the month of August with an ERA of 0.45 and a scoreless streak of almost 30 innings, that's just insane.

How about this kid Worley? The movement on his fastball last night was nasty as hell, 11-1 on the season and he's a 4th or 5th in the rotation.

worley was even good when he made 2 spot starts for us in 2010. hes been great i dont care if fat joe ever comes back.

phillies have fully engaged rape mode.

big series starting tonight phillies vs. brewers possible playoff matchup

 

[TickleMyBalls]

Verlander for MVP. he's gonna win 25 games this year. absolutely dominant in every way.

 

[Vitamin THC]

by the way i definitely feel its time for a phillies pitcher to hit someone. our players have been getting hit all year and the braves hit polanco on his bad elbow 2 nights ago then they hit utley in the head. someone needs to step up and retaliate.

 

[Vitamin THC]

i understand teams are mad because they're not as good as the phillies but thats no reason to try to injure people.
