2011 Go Giants, Back-2-Back World Champions !!
 
I guess I'll do a thread about the SF Giants repeating as World Champions !! Since the other Giants fan got banned ;)

Its interesting what Zito is doing. Would be nice to see him have a run. I have always been a fan of his.

They are still on top of the division :)

I wish they would trade Zito !!

Well we're still in 1st place ;)

Wish they wouldn't have wasted all those runs though. Scoring 8 in one game is damn near a week's worth. Plus we have to face Cliffy tomorrow. At least we know how to beat him :)

Montano 08-07-2011 04:54 PM

Re: 2011 Go Giants, Back-2-Back World Champions !!
 
I think they have a good lineup now. They just need to gel. Thank goodness Zito is not in the rotation.

About f'ing time they get a win again. Hope they play better against the Pirates.

LMAO... notice, I said "we know how" to beat Cliffy. I guess just not when he's wearing a Phillies uni :D

For the Phillies, yes. I'm sure the Phillies will be playing in the NLCS, the Giants on the other hand need to get their heads out of their rear ends.

Yes, he's quite the character, indeed! I always watch Giants post game live after he pitches, just in hopes of "A Beard" interview.

After seeing his Espy's outfit I can see why!....So far Pence the better pick-up vs. Beltran....in a very short study :D

I would agree, and wasn't a big fan of picking up Beltran. Would have prefered a Pence, Upton, or Rasmus type of player and not just a rental. I'm hoping it's just an early chemistry thing and they get it figured out soon. Keppinger had a nice day yesterday, unfortunately, he's been hitting into too many dp's.

....chemistry/Beltran....hmmmmm.....Keppinger doing well over all...

Ok, so the only one to get suspended from last friday's melee was Victorino!....no Ramirez, no Whiteside (the jumping maniac!)....I don't get it...What are the thoughts of SF Giants fans?...Fair?

3SmokesaRound 08-09-2011 11:48 AM

Re: 2011 Go Giants, Back-2-Back World Champions !!
 
The way I look at it was that Victorino is the one that "started" the brawl (if you can call it that). Yes, I know Ramirez hit him intentionally which "technically" started it, but look what happened a few days before when Pujols got hit. Did Pujols charge/walk to the mound? No, he walked to first like he's supposed to when he gets hit. What do the Cards do, hit Braun. Obviously intentional! Did Braun get pissed and walk/charge the mound? Nope, he understands baseball. You hit our guy, we hit your guy. It's not like Ramirez threw at his head. If the Phills would have hit a Giants guy the next game, so be it! Take it like a man Victorino!

Now, was it right to hit Victorino in the first place? It's a tweener to me. I don't blame Jimmy for stealing 2nd. It was only 5 or 6 runs with what 3 or 4 innings left. Easy for most teams to come back from, but not the Giants :( But if Victorino wants to be pissed at someone it should have been Jimmy.

You asked, so that's my :2

that's why they call it the "left" coast....:r....I think Whiteside instigated the bench clearing....by his actions, he was looking for a fight....funny though Bill, I didn't see the game, just the fight on the news....so the steal is news to me...not sure that quite justifies the bean ball, but its baseball....

I hear ya with Whiteside, Keith. I really thought he and Ramirez would get a game too.

That's what I'm saying....under the old "two-to-tango" theory...

Agree, but again, if Victorino walks his arse down to first like he;s supposed to, no suspension.

hahaha....speaking of tango, we could do this dance all day....:r.....did you hear about the 9 yr old hit by a car outside the stadium after Friday's game?....lives a few blocks from me....haven't heard if he's home yet

Re: 2011 Go Giants, Back-2-Back World Champions !!
 
We sure could, Keith. No I didn't hear about that, hope he's okay. Go Phillies tonight! Beat the hell out of the Dodgers :) Plus I have Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels on my fantasy team :tu

Good thing we were up 6 going into the 9th tonight because we needed almost the entire cushion. Was not happy seeing the tying run come to the plate, but a win is a win. Cain was awesome tonight! AND the D-Backs finally lost again.

Unless we sweep the D-backs this weekend, I think so.
