oh boy, had no idea it was that bad.

awesome specs, Kelby Tomlinson

is that a comeback?

ha, they had to prove Brisbee wrong right away.

fuck, i hate this team

why did i start to watch again?

Time to find a new closer imo.

Oh yeah Joe Nathan is on this team. I forgot.

'they could not bring home the bacon' Krukow.

two run lead going into the 9th and they blow it again.

stunning

it getting to the point to how is this even possible? the Giants had the best record going into the all-star break with over 50 wins.

to that point:

oof

Every time a Giants fan uses the words "want" or "deserve," an angel gets its wings ripped off, a puppy is set on fire, a bumfight is paid for with two greasy five dollar bills, and the Giants lose another game.

This historical collapse is maybe what the Giant's fans deser... what they needed. I became a fan of the club (and of baseball) in 2012, and yet I have never felt closer to the team than this season.

that is very interesting. no-one had a change against the Giants after that Reds game. i was on pens and needles and ever pitch seemed like an hour. then Zito and the Panda did the rest.

i moved to San Francisco in 1995. came from Southern California and could care less about sports. the Bay Area is different and made me a sports fan. 2002 was the second year i watched baseball. it was the NFL that got me hooked. the Giants are my love thou.

you have to be fucking kidding me

on into the night

11th AZ pitcher

so many pitchers. at this game rn btw

this could take awhile

did anyone see what Bochy did last night?

It was a brilliant one. He had Cory Gearrin start the 12th for one out, then sent him to left field while Javier Lopez pitched to Lamb. It was the first time a Giants pitcher played a position other than on the mound since Noah Lowry in 2005, and the first time a Giants pitcher had gone to play a position and return to the mound since Keith Comstock did it in 1987.

Lopez walked Lamb, who stole second base after Gearrin re-entered. Paul Goldschmidt was walked intentionally. But Gearrin got the benefit of a 3-2 pitch on the edge of the strike zone to Welington Castillo, drawing an immediate wail of protest from the batter and an ejection.

Gearrin then battled Yasmany Tomás in an eight-pitch at-bat and the five-hour, 23-minute game ended with a ground out to second base, along with sighs of relief in the visiting dugout.

yeah that was hilarious

getting excited again. i guess a four game winning streak helps.

Joe Maddon has done the "have a pitcher play outfield then come back to pitch" thing a couple of times this season, usually with Travis Wood.

or maybe not.

that was such a bad game, thank god for football.

unbelievable

worst lost of the year.

considering the time of year and everything else

snake bitten

i hate this team

can't even beat San Diego, they swept us coming out of the all-star break.

now they buried us and the Giants playoff hopes.

they should just lose the rest of their games. it would be embarrassing to make the wild card at this point.

the other 2 contenders are not so hot either, u know

because this is about as good as it ever gets, By Grant Brisbee:

"The second thing you need to do is put some mood music on. Maybe Hospice by The Antlers. Anything from Mark Kozelek. I think I’ll start with Disintegration and move on to some Joy Division after that. Because we’ll be here for a while."

OK, if they do well against the Cardinals they will be in the wild card lead. i just don't see it happening.

well that was important

Go Giants!

Who is that Luke Weaver guy and how did he strike out the first four batters?

Boy, it's been a while since we've seen that kind of inning from the Giants.

Not happy with Cassila, at all. But the boos are obnoxious.

Bochy should be fired.

giants in the 9th inning should be fired

Bochy should be fired.
