[filosofy29]

Welcome historic Dodger pitching. Meet Hunter Pence.

Hey, I got a response.

Yes sir, Laguna, yes sir!

Boomsticks!

 

[LHG]

I'd say that was a good game. . . tzill non approval notwithstanding.

 

[calsnowskier]

Was not able to follow the game closely, but I did see the Pance-Jack.

Hopefully that wakes him up.

Just came back. I do NOT approve of PV or Romobomb, but the hitting....oh, the hitting....

Suck it, doyers.

Hammer posted a tweet saying it the first time since 1884 that the Giants have scored 12 in two games in a four game stretch.

I left when they were down 4-0....perhaps I should take this as a sign

So far we've learned . . .
1 - I should step away from my desk at the 8th inning
2 - dredinis21 needs to come in at the 5th inning of games where the Giants are behind
3 - GPC2011 needs to leave when the Giants are behind

I used to think the 2012 team was fun to watch batting, but these guys potentially can score a lot more, maybe even 2002 level?

On my way to work as I live in the greater LA area in time to hear the bottom of the 8th inning on the radio. The flamethrower AKA 680AM is picking up in the ride and I get to hear the grand slam that Pence served like 3AM Denny's waiter and Strickland close it out. Not gonna lie fellas, I am 3 for 3 in games this season with the only game I missed being the game they lost and I AM the reason they are winning. Not sayin', I'm just sayin'.

This offense reminds me of the 2002 Angels, actually. The 2002 Giants were boppers. The Angels were pesky as all hell without an easy out in the lineup.

 

[calsnowskier]

And speaking of the 2012 Giants...

Imagine if Melky were not caught.

He would have resigned with SF.
No Pence.
Likely no 2012 trophy or 2014 trophy.

Baseball is full of random stuff like that. Part of the fun.

 

[SFGRTB]

Damn, what an opener. Screwed the Dodgers streak in glorious fashion. I wish I could post more here during the games. Soon!

yup, I was thinking about that. And also, how lucky we were that FatPanda "wanted a fresh start in a new place."

That's evil. Don't ever talk like that again.

Thanks, man....

I have these commemorative items that may be helpful...

2010 commemorative ice pack.
2012 commemorative pack of Tylenol.
2014 commemorative "STFU" poster.

Take your pick

As you recover, think about 2010, 2012 or 2014. Any will do. All are great!
