Spoiled

ColinCoby · Oct 19, 2011

Clearly we've been spoiled. Watching our beloved Giants all year, I spent plenty of time grumbling and bitching about the lack of clutch hitting and overall hitting fundamentals. Shit, we ALL did that. And for good reason.

But watching the inept pitching in the playoffs...wow. I now realize that not all teams have four solid starters. It's more one starter...and time to start praying.

I don't know about the rest of you, but as painful as it is to lose 2-1, I'd take that over losing 8-5.

Complete agreement. +10. Rep.

That is all, carry on.

What do you think Ron Roenicke would give to have either starters or the bullpen of the Giants, with the Brewer hitters? Those games against the Cards were brutal. Every time Milwaukee scored to get close, the Milwaukee bullpen would give up another four runs. It was sick.

I agree with the OP, but man, what I would trade for the Rangers lineup. I have a weird gut feeling they are going to put up some serious numbers this World Series on their way to the ring.

I agree, their O is scary. But I would rather have our pitching than their hitting.

Aaaaaaand game 1 of the WS was a Giants-style 3-2 nailbiter, with the winning run driven in on a ball that Beltran would've missed just like Cruz did, and Schierholtz would've gotten.

And we scored 20 runs in the first 2 games vs this same Texas team, at AT&T, in last year's WS.

Baseball, she is weird.

No...we scored 20 runs against this Texas team with the mighty Cliff Lee on their staff.....but you're right...baseball is weird...

Game 2: 2-1.

I see my jinx powers have resurfaced.

Great game today. That was baseball. Clutch baseruning, key hitting...We got a series now.

bone3421 · Oct 21, 2011

man that was a battle, and yes the giants have a great staff, i would take that staff all day...... and yes our offense is usually pretty scary but right now its not looking that good,,,, elvis isnt really having a good post season and josh is hurt and struggling and mike young has looked pretty bad ....but cruz has been on fire after the TB series.......i think we will heat up and win this....thank god they won tonight

I am rooting for Texas because losing two years in a row is cruel and unusual torture. AND mist Giants fans still have a small level if hatred for the birds from '87 and the rivalry that stemmed from that series (kinda like where we are with the Phils right now)

same here for all the same reasons above and a few more:

In a slight way, it validates the Giants accomplishments vs. Texas in 2010 even more.

A Rangers win = more egg on Cliff Lee's face.

And finally, f*ckin Oquendo

They'll be fine once they get home. If Albert Pujols complains about the dimensions at the "New" Busch, then anyone can. Their main problem is that they are swinging at everything. 3 walks in two games? That is Giants-esque. In their defense, it was a low zone last night, and that certainly makes it hard to elevate pitches (likely what the Rangers do best).

Getting that win last night definitely saved their chances. Even with the 2-3-2 system, it is hard to come back down 2-0. Fuck it. Go Rangers!

And if Albert Pujols makes a routine cut-off, the Rangers wouldn't be in it much longer, either. Kind of like last year.

Really, dude?

This thread is filled with Ranger love, and you decide to take a dump in the middle of it?

Wow.

Just wow.

Wow....all the nice Texas talk here and you drop in and throw that down? What, are you trying to become the Phillies douchebag fans of the AL?

Edit: sorry Cal...you beat me to it.
