GDT - Giants @ Cubs - 9/21/10

[gp956]

Sanchez with another Solid Gold play.

1 out for Wilson. Trying to nail down the combined 2 hit shutout. No doubt if Molina was catching it would be a perfect game though. How we miss his veteran game calling.

Just you wait until you see Velez catch.

Why was Cain's outing so short? His pitch count wasn't very high.

If molina were still catching...how many games out are we? Three?

Ballgame! Giants win. The-e-e Giants win!

 

[gp956]

ball game, Yes!

Matt Motherfecking Squirtgun!!!!!

Bochy was probably hoping for more Ishi in a bottle. Like gp alluded to earlier though, it might be a good idea to keep the starting 5 fresh just in case we do make the real season.

Buster baby!

ElJ, it's official now, you're good luck, gotta post at least once in the game threads ;-)

 

[filosofy29]

The Bullpen has really allowed Bochy to have a lot of options with the pinch hitter.

Can't say enough about the bullpen (especially recently).

 

[gp956]

They can play a little more loose in the next two games now.

 

[ElJimador]

Why was Cain's outing so short? His pitch count wasn't very high.

Because he was leading off in 0-0 game and Bochy trusts the bullpen right now so he's going to pinch hit in that situation every time. Personally I'd rather stick with the starter there and said so, but it worked out.

 

[gp956]

One run game again, but did not feel like torture.

I'd like too. But when the wife is home she makes me DVR the games and start them late so we can fast forward through the commercials. When I'm on my own I prefer to watch real time and be on the GT at the same time. So hopefully I'll get a chance to do that a couple more times this year. Good luck or not, it's entertaining.

 

[filosofy29]

Have a good evening Gents. Favorite thing of the night (besides Buster obviously), was this: Ramirez, Romo, Wilson = 9 up and 9 down.

See you guys tomorrow.

EDIT: Also, because I'm shallow, I used your line on the ESPN board anyway gp.

Fair enough ElJ, have a good one man.

Perhaps it was Robotech that was the good luck charm anyway

Agreed, this was a well played 1-0 ballgame.

And go man-crush (Buster)!

The bullpen was solid, great to have that. And feel free to use anything I post. It's free.

 

[tzill]

no one with 20HR power!

That was exactly what I was thinking as Posey rounded the bases.

....and this is why Cain is a <.500 pitcher.

I thought it was b/c he's a white boy.
