THE 100-YEAR-OLDS OCCUPATION: Giants 2008 goddamn thread

Gah, I have to reacquaint myself with the feeling of going to bed in a bad mood every damn night.

haw

Gibbons could play 1B but is he that much different than Rich Aurilia?

I guess Aurilia can't play 3B anymore? I like him better than Jose Castillo.

Why isn't Velez starting somewhere?

But if you're grading 0.00 RA/ERA and a 1.23 WHIP ball as C+, then I guess that is your gig, cowboy.

I ain't grading on no curve. Throw strikes and get through 6 is all I'm saying.

of course gibbons COULD play first, but just b/c he is technically, physically able, doesn't mean he SHOULD.

ORYLA can and from what I've read will still play third, at least before the injuries hit and the organization realized that the AAAA position "prospects" couldn't hack it in the "Show."

small victories:
down 11-2, the Giants get their first XBH of the season.

lol 13-2

small ball

WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS

Brian "Worst Player in Baseball" Bocock watch:

.300/.429/.300 through 4 games. His 4 walks putting him in the top 3 in MLB.

We're gunning for you, '03 Tigers. Watch out.

.300/.429/.300 through 4 games. His 4 walks putting him in the top 3 in MLB.

.308, .526, .308! Will he get an extra-base hit this year?

1-5, can we win two out of the next 10 at home?

I actually stayed up to watch the end of the Pads / Gints throwdown. And it turns out I actually stayed up to watch seagulls circle the upper regions of PacBell like vultures, and to hear Matt Vasgersian (sp?) make reference to Suzanne Pleshette (sp?) and bird poop, and to hear the SD color guy make the Nelson noise (HA HA) in ref. to an outstanding 1-3 non-force DP turned against the Giants (featuring a great throw by AGonz, and Kouzmanoff blocking the 3B bag in expert fashion), and to watch Bengie Molina's entire front torso (funbags & partyball in unison) bounce hypnotically around the bases in glorious jubilation.

His 4 walks putting him in the top 3 in MLB.

Rey Ordonez finagled a walk once in a while, too. Sometimes unintentional!

already have two wins out of three, damn you!

The Padres' offense is not very good.

=THREE WIN STREAK=

i guess this is pretty old, but still lol nonetheless:

Ah, that's better.

The Cain curse continues.

Less Bocock, more Bowker.

Bowker, clearly HOF material.

Oh and LOL @ new last place team!!!

I know I just jinxed us but dammit when else will I get the chance to gloat like this?

I will give Sabean credit:

Getting ANYTHING for Matt Morris and that stupid contract is a genius move.

Anything = the guy we just DFA'd.

We have a better record than I thought we would.

This team is bad at being terrible.

I should've named this thread NO BARRYS CLUB.

The NL West is a four-way race (for last place).

Brian Wilson loaded the bases 2x last night. Good job.

The NL West is a four-way race (for last place).

One of these things is not like the other...

LA Dodgers 9 - 12 RS: 91 RA: 82
Colorado 9 - 12 RS: 93 RA: 111
San Francisco 9 - 13 RS: 70 RA: 105
San Diego 9 - 13 RS: 74 RA: 106

Wait -- the Giants actually DFA'd Rajai? I thought Lee was jh0shing! I just saw that the A's claimed him! What the heck?!?!

lol @ Torre

Wait -- the Giants actually DFA'd Rajai? I thought Lee was jh0shing!

They still win the Morris trade though.

Timmy looked really good tonight. Nice win.

Shasta will be CRUSHED if they win 73-75.

I have them at 58 wins.

As Rajai went 3-4 with a triple in his A's debut, I keep telling myself "small sample size."

The Giants really don't need another guy with his skill set, but I'm surprised they couldn't find anyone to trade something for him.

they are now in second place on a three game winning streak, Sanchez was awesome tonight. never would have believed it a month ago.

*second in the west that is

wau @ zito

Three more healthy innings.

Pat Misch with the quality start!

ESPN is reporting that Giants are moving Zito to bullpen. Can't find this yet online however.

http://news.google.co.jp/news?hl=en&q=zito&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tab=wn&scoring=n

http://www.knbc.com/sports/16041566/detail.html

"Zito, 29, won the Cy Young award in 2002 with a 23-5 record and 2.75 earned-run average when he was playing for the Oakland A's, the team he left after the 2006 season. "

;_; RIP

what the fuck went wrong with the guy? i have a hard time believing just how bad he's gotten.
