Game Thread: 8.4.18 Weaklinks @ Snakes

[1phlapdown]

Yeahhhhh... about that

Thanks for the vids

 

[1phlapdown]

Oh well.

It's a .500 team

that streak had my hopes up

 

[LHG]

Cutch trending up as the Giants trend down.... could see a trade

A game like this will make other teams notice.

Yeah me too, but I remembered it's been like this all season. They'll win four in a row then lose 4 in a row.

I knew most of the people participating today don't always have video!

Dogs losing to the Stros, 12-0 in the 8th

If the Giants losing helps the dogs lose the West, I am totally OK with that.

Absolutely.

Obviously would be nice if the Giants won 20 straight, but if it can't be us I'm rooting for the DBacks.... mayyyybbbeee the Rockies. Fuck the dodgers

I am hoping we go young now and start just getting rid of old has beens.

I think it will need to be both to keep the Dodgers out of the playoffs.

We have seven rookies on the team: Suarez, DRod, Slater, Duggar, Moronta, PJohnson, and BlacK. None of these guys is especially young, but they are younger, all in their 20's.

For once we agree, they still can't hit.

Who do you mean?

Pence is gone after this year, as is Cutch (maybe sooner). Longo is staying. Cueto too. Any others?

Dude, that is NEVER going to happen.

They will NEVER go through a rebuild. They will always try to compete and develop at the same time.

You can like it or not, but that’s the baseball world G fans live in.

They may not be super young, but they ARE super cheap. And that is what the Gs need since they are paying Posey, Bum, JC, Sammy, Craw, Longo, Belt, and Melancon.

We were here 5 years ago, knocked that off my bucket list. Japanese baseball is super fun. However, this is my niece’s bat mitzvah trip and she is not a baseball fan so.....

Lots of shopping and Hello Kitty I suspect.

Edit: I should mention that I saw John Bowker play for the Tokyo Giants in that game and Lastings Milledge play for the Yakult Swallows. Super freaking fun.

I fully approve of this misdirection.
