GDT- 8/27/10 D-Backs vs. Giants

[SFGRTB]

No work so I get to watch the game! And start and extremely early GDT!

You want a game preview, fine here's your preview

Lincecum needs to cut his hair, take off the dress and quit this tea party and start pitching like we a used to know and love!!!! Last 4 starts 0-4 with a 8.38 ERA, thats not Lincecum, it's sissy lincecum.

But in all seriousness, he needs to step up his game. It seems like the whole rotation is suffering and maybe a good start by Lincecum could jump-start everyone and maybe shutup the naysayers for a while.

Going against us is young Daniel Hudson who has thrived in the NL thus far, 3-1, 1.72 ERA, 36/6 K/BB.

Justin Upton is coming in hot. Last 7, .429/.538/.667 1HR, 3 RBI. And Drew is coming off a monster game yesterday. 4-4 2HRs. But thats about it on thier side.

Lineup:

Torres CF
Posey C
Huff 1B
Burrell LF
Guillen RF
Sandoval 3B
Uribe SS
Sanchez 2B

Lets do this Timmeh!

I like the lineup...but it's going to come down to the Freak, as usual. Let's hope he gets it together TONIGHT!

"THIS ENDS TONIGHT!!"

Should have been his words when he woke up this morning.

 

[SFGRTB]

Lincecum really has a lot going for him today, like a lot of things.

I'm not going to say them, but you should know what I mean.

 

[SFGRTB]

Lincecum goin' old school with the socks.

 

[filosofy29]

Can't join the game thread tonight. Go Giants.

 

[SFGRTB]

:/

 

[SFGRTB]

Lincecum doesn't have the fastball right now

 

[xxERICSMITHXX]

Well that wasn't good.

 

[xxERICSMITHXX]

He is hanging the change a lot tonight

 

[msgkings322]

So seriously, guys, no doomer gloomer here: if Tim can't get back on track....if he finishes 13-14....can we reasonably make the playoffs?

Who woulda thunk THIS would be our problem?

 

[filosofy29]

Alright guys, I have until 8pm, lol. Lincecum is teh suck. That is all.

Kind of a newbie question: can someone explain the 'teh' thing? I see it on Giants boards (only)...what's that about?

 

[Stokes1931]

Well, that could have been a better beginning. At least we are not 9 runs down. Yet.

Hitters gotta rescue Timmy tonight. They owe him for the years of pitching 1 run ball, and losing.

I gotta believe, too, that Timmy is on a short leash tonight.

Ah, "teh" is from the old school board, and is a backhanded jab at those who cannot seem to spell even simple words.

It was Cain that pitched the 1 run games and lost. Tim has had more than adequate run support in his career.

OK thanks, I kinda figured but wanted to be sure.

 

[msgkings322]

Not a great sign to go down meekly after giving up some runs.

 

[filosofy29]

Come on Timmy, you gotta get back on track here. This new Tim is not as fun to watch, lol. I don't care how good of pitcher you are, you keep issuing walks, you're going to get burned.

And yes msg, not a good half inning after the preceding half inning.
