I want Zack Wheeler and Thomas Neal back.

Why do you want Neal back?

I thought i saw before the game that Randy Wells was sporting an ERA close to 6...i guess it was just a misprint.

That 6 was his rank in the Cy Young Race.

Maybe. This feels like the game where the team gave up on the season.

That is the feel I am getting to. They just opened a FedEx account to make mailing it in that much easier the rest of the way.

Feels that way to me also. It's as if the team has been mathmatically eliminated...even though that won't happen for a little while.

Tim is the heart and soul of the club, and when he seemingly gives up...

It's like he's saying 'fuck this, we ain't got the horses this year'. Next year is a whole new ballgame.

This is so God damn pathetic!

We cant even beat the fucking cubs!!!!!


I get that this is how we were supposed to tank after Posey went down, but why did they have to cock tease us for 2 months, then decide to suck ?

I really tried to think of a word to describe the offense that hasn't been used before here .. pathetic, futility, disheartening, unacceptable, embarrassing, you name it. but I had a hard time finding one.

There is a sick humor to this slump - I am immediately reminded of all the deals I struck to the baseball gods if the Giants could pull off a championship. Man, are they cashing in hard this August.

...the one time we need Cazic's input.

I do not blame Timmeh at all for losing it tonight (assuming that is what he has done). The whole season, the offense has taken the night off EVERY night he pitches, and tonight, the defense took off as well. why should he bother "gaming it up" for these ass-holes?

I'm reminded of a Bill Simmons piece (yes he's a Boston fan but I think he's pretty entertaining in print (not so much on camera)) where he said the Red Sox finally winning it meant he wouldn't worry about winning anymore for 5 years, wouldn't trash management, wouldn't trash players...for 5 years.

He made it about 6 months into the next season and caved and said he couldn't do it...

 

[ColinCoby]

This one makes me feel about 1 percent better also.

Or Nolan's, but his screen is covered in spooge right now. He's elated.

 

[SFAnthem]

Is the team more lifeless tonight than they were on May 26th? It seems like they are.

yes.

You that moment after an injury where you don't feel anything and are not sure how injured you are?

The Giants' moment ended two weeks ago.

 

[filosofy29]

This is an unpleasant outcome so far.

Precisely.

And the team feeds off him, so they see that, and they give up too.

lol, rep

You just inched ahead of stokes for rep!

Ah, subtle understatement.

I need something a little stronger.

I dont think any of of us are really trashing management. When I say I want them to DFA someone to make a point, I KNOW that wont happen. This streak has to be making them even MORE bonkers than us. There is absolutely NOTHING the FO could have done this year with the injuries that it was dealt.
