Even Year Bullshit: The 2016 San Francisco Giants

hunter pence ready

:-)

won't be able to watch live tomorrow. :-(

Bumgarner with the flu, unable to locate

not looking forward seeing Span's weak arm at AT&T all season

3 hr in a row!

i hate even years

everyone will be in an 'even year' against those Brewers. the rebuild seems to be truly on.

I feel for any brewer fan out there..

also had zero interest in tuning into the opening series with philly and cincy..

haha yes I am a dyed in the wool Brewer fan and my only thought here was "hey, it was way better than opening day last year", a game in which we were down 10-0 by the 4th inning

yeah, Baseball is back!

didn't get to see live but going to turn it on now.

Bumgarner did not look good at all today.

but wow, can this team score some runs, this is going to be fun.

heh, check this fangraphs article speculating that bumgarner's neuroma issue on his plant foot is driving his recent poor performance:

http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/the-change-officially-worried-about-madison-bumgarner/

and then the comments section, where someone mentions that the neuroma is on bumgarner's left foot, and he's a lefty, so it's not affecting his plant foot at all, leading to eno sarris' "You are correct and I’m upset with myself."

hmm, interesting. he is off that is for sure.

Cueto is looking great tonight. he replaces Timmy but you have to move on...

2 - 0

:-)

can't win them all. ;-)

wow, can this team score some runs

mmmm, probly not. League avg at best. But we'll save that for your first "The season is over" declaration.

i guess we will see. all home grown infield that should spray the ball all over the diamond.

didn't see the Giants vs. Dodgers becasue i'm in the Los Angeles market and they black it out on DirecTV. great win and another 12 runs, sweet.

Giants have all sorts of problems, scoring runs is not going to be one of them.

Welcome back Matt Cain.

www wow they pulled him!!!!?

hell fucking yeah. tie game!

Lmao

rip dave roberts

Dumbass

it is on

did he get thrown out?

Who?

baseball is so much better when both the Giants and Dodgers are good.

Dodgers broadcast spending the last 15 minutes justifying the move

the manager, i now know.

xxpost

all i want tonight is a base hit

can settle for a tie for now.

great catch Span.

what is going on?

Let's Go Giants!

extra innings

i guess i should stop

sorry

im with you Bee, with you and with this pot of delicious vanilla yogurt

lol

if they win this game with like two or three hits

hahahaha suck it Dodgers

called it

looking forward to the inevitable 7-run dodgers inning

lol

all the Giants need to do is win one more game and they are in right?

In what? If they go 1-1, they could be in a play-in game -- or two -- before the WC game.

what i meant by in is, playing past Sunday. if the Giants just win out then that would be best and the other team will face Bumgarner.

this season Baseball ending would have been boring without the Wild Card games.

it really helps when the team you root for is in that mix.

well you're going against kershaw today so

the Giants do fine against Kershaw.

i know record wise it might say something different but watching those games they are always right there outside i think one game this year.

Go time

lowest ERA at AT&T park of all time, but ok

Enjoying Blach so far. Indeed, the first strikes are impressive. I nominate him to run 48 innings to another post-season glories, full of pinch hit HR and well timed wild pitches.

(A Bumgarner, Cueto, Shark, Moore, Blach rotation makes me confident right out of the gate for 2017)

Ty Blach for the 2016 Cy Young afaic.

what a game from Ty Blach.

David vs Goliath indeed

i was on delay but what a game, in a must win environment.

this is why i truly love baseball, nothing like it.

a Bumgarner vs Syndergaard matchup is another reason why I love baseball.

what a place to be at. wish is for the division but this isn't bad.

what a fun day, today is going to be

coming out swinging, i love it

don't know why it took until the last week of the season but the team if finally playing good.

yes

loving the desire

five runs within five outs

ouch, not sure if that was worth getting

what a season, could not be happier about the Giants making it this year.

Mets must beat even-year evil

You can't just beat even-year evil.

that's correct, actually - it needs to be beaten, set on fire and encircled with salt & wiccan symbols meant to ward off demons

Bee, post here it's safe
