GDT Champs vs. Redstockings 7-31-2011

Ugh.....that's it for me. My Border Collie mix is insisting we go play Frisbee....I'll check back later.

Go Giants!!!

Zito's season as a SP for the Giants mercifully draws to a close.

 

[Stokes1931]

A rally started with guys on 1st and 2nd, and Kepp K's at a ball outside in the dirt?

We had better regroup fast. Cannot believe after winning two of three against the Philth, and with the Reds having been swept by the mighty Mutts, that we would get swept here. Ah well. Only 68 more minutes for Sabean to panic and sign another 38 year old veteran to stop the bleeding. Bengie Molina may be available.

So Mike Adams was traded to the Rangers, not Heath Bell.

at least it's to the AL. That guy is scary good.

I hope his Giant career ends today. He has nothing left. He couldn't get middle schoolers out with those pitches. There is no one that wants him. Time to bite the bullet and send him packing.

It may have been a case of the Giants had an emotional high against the Phils and had a little let down after that series coupled with the fact the Reds were pissed off because of the Mets series.....or it could just be baseball is a crazy game and we didn't do so hot

 

[Stokes1931]

Zito's ERA the last three games is 10.91.

His WHIP is 1.85

He is no longer a MLB pitcher.

All valid reasons. Still pisses me off. I expected better. We are playing like garbage. And Sabean's moves seem to smack of desperation. And we have a three game lead in the NL West!

How many middle infielders do we have? None of them seem to be able to hit. At least a couple can play good D, and we just sent Crawford to Fresno. I am with Cal, I really do not like the OC trade. He will not help. Right handed SS? Most of the pitchers we face are righties.

Yup, even if you had some sort of crazy Voltron thing where all the current shortstops we have combined to make one shortstop.....they'd still be below average.

Marcus trolling the ESPN board hard right now.

Let me guess:

This season is now OVER!

We will be lucky to take 3rd place in the NL West.

Even if we luck into the playoffs, we will get destroyed by whoever we play.

MSGKings is a "pedant".

That about cover it?

He's actually posting about how he wants to kill Zito or pay to have him killed.

 

[TheSaboteur]

For some comic relief, go check out Jered Weaver's ejection. Pretty funny stuff.

 

[tzill]

Poor fucking Mota...dead ass tired and Votto takes him deep. This one's not his fault. We really needed 6+ from Zero today.

Gonna need some comic relief today. This is getting ugly.

If we are going to lose big, I would just as soon as Zito have remained in the game to get shelled some more. Get every last ounce out of his worthless carcass.

Sure wish the offense would show up sometime.

43 minutes to the non-waiver trade deadline.

Wow. That's a little harsh. How about just a nice DFA with prejudice?

 

[gp956]

Worst series of the year?

 

[gp956]

Zito to the bullpen until sept 1. Then send him home.

Yup. I think that's how they'll play it. I can't see them keeping him around doing absolutely nothing on the bench for a month. Last year's playoffs were bad enough.

Dude is done as a SP in the majors.

 

[Stokes1931]

Worst series of the year?

You got my vote.

Series turned on the first extra inning game. We had so many chances to win that game, after we came back. RISP was 1 for 10 in that game. The next game RISP was 2 for 14. Today? Today RISP was 0 for 1. So for the series, RISP was 3 for 25. Simply awful! And this against a Reds pitching staff that had been seriously abused by the Mutts.
