9/12 GDT : Giants @ Rox

[Stokes1931]

That was my reverse jinx and it worked

Well done! Well done!

On behalf of Colin, I applaud your effort!

 

[Robotech]

Coming into the game, .338 vs. .332

Damn Melky at .346

EDIT: Cutch at .340 Posey at .335 after in-game updates.

Posey's got an outside chance at the batting title. I hope he gets it, for obvious reasons.

Posey's got a 6.0 WAR now on Baseball Reference. 6.4 on FanGraphs. Damn, if we had him last year, we would've made the postseason.

 

[Stokes1931]

Just unbelievable. The Phillies front office had apparently given up on this season, yet here they are only 3 back.

Padres have been beating up on good teams and are 6.5 games back. Can a miracle happen for them?

You know, Stokes, I have many a friend in Casablanca, but somehow, just because you despise me, you are the only one I trust.




Edit: I can't believe you passed on the chance to throw a Miracle Max/Princess Bride quote out there!

 

[Robotech]

Lincecum doing his best to keep this game exciting. He's not just an athlete; he's an entertainer.

 

[Stokes1931]

Gotta have a very short leash with Timmy tonight.

Or change his name to Walker.

Well, I was going to dig one out later.

 

[Robotech]

Only 23 pitches this inning. An improvement. Maybe he can get under 20 the next inning.

 

[Stokes1931]

This one is for Cam, wherever he may be. Probably looking for that 30 HR guy. Or was that Cal?

We'll always have the 2010 season.

 

[SFAnthem]

I hate facing the pesky Padres. It feels like a David Eckstien AB for 3 hours.

Death by papercut!

LOL

Stewart/Whiteside 1.6 WAR last year (Whitey was good for -0.1 WAR). 6 WAR for Posey as of now this year (I'm using baseball reference for both). Giants missed the wild card by 4 games. You do the math.

If Posey plays last year, Cards don't win a World Series. I don't know how a player can be much more valuable than that.

I'm sold. Buster for MVP, even though Cards fans will tell you that Yadier Molina is more valuable than Buster.

Damn dogs up 2-0

 

[Stokes1931]

"Hey Rook! Here's a 83 mph changeup with no movement, belt high, right over the heart of the plate. See what you can do with it."

"He scrambled the sonuvabitch!"

 

[SFGRTB]

Tim's got some velocity tonight. 91-92 consistently, touched 93.

 

[ColinCoby]

71 pitches through 4 for Timmeh.

Not as bad as I feared.

 

[SFGRTB]

2-1 damn dogs. Upton (Kate) sac-fly.

 

[SFGRTB]

How many hits into the 5.5 hole today?
