This POS bullpen ruins so many phuking games for me....

 

[tzill]

I've got episodes of VEEP to watch as well...


Announcer: "Giants have Wisler in the game, not wanting to take any chances..."

Me: pfft

Tauchman has gotten a longer look than most other outfielders who've hit like him in the past few years. I still consider that trade a win, precisely for the fact that FZ was able to trade Peralta for someone.

Apparently he has been on FZs radar for a LONG time. Makes sense that he would get a longer than normal look.

Again, it's not like we lose every bullpen game...most of our wins are not CGs or blowouts.

and 3 posts later...

Ugh...come on bullpen, sheesh. We're not gonna always score 9

damn, dude... you gonna give me whiplash.

So the dude behind home plate in the Giants jersey ... What cap does he have on?

It's black with white letters...

Is it a throwback S.F. Seals cap?

 

[calsnowskier]

Who the fuck are these asshole announcers?

Eric Karros and someone else.

Karros actually isn’t horrible, but he doesn’t know jack about the Giants. These guys aren’t trying to be LA homers, they just know more about the doggies and have more to say about them.

 

[pachyderm]

I bet he throws a slider...

I used to have a black cap with white letters with orange border. It was just an alt cap. I liked it because it was slightly unique, though I don’t think the style had ever been used in game.

nice to see 2 fans decked out in Giants gear behind the plate, though...

Sergio Romo approves

Rook was good; Kap took him out as a cautionary move. Throwing easy and well.
Kaz shat the mound.
Alvarez looking ok so far.

Cautionary move? Bad idea with only 5 innings in and 62 pitches thrown.

Hard to lose when you score 11, even with this pen. Nice win!

Just went to the CBS sports site and clicked on the in game scoreboard that has the pitching grid and info of who is pitching and batting but whenever I go there it seems about a third of the Giants and especially pitchers have the avy/picture of the player in a different uni and team hat. LOL No one knows or cares who our players are and having not seen many games this year it doesn't surprise me.

P.S. I live in San Jose but have a Campbell addy and are west of the Campbell City Hall and the San Jose City hall is mostly east but a bit north of the Campbell City Hall. Boy I wish these few houses including ours were actually in Campbell. Born In Hanford CA parents moved here when I was about 4 been living near here since.

Right after college, the wife and I lived a few blocks from Race Street Fish near Race and the Alameda. I worked at SJSU and then at Tandem Computers, right by Vallco, across the highway from the fruit company.

Nice payback for that 11 spot the Dogs put on us at Oracle.

Accidentally took a few photos on my phone during the game... they looked good so I took a few more...

Wisler was the only reliever who didn't suck tonight
