what a race!

Padres have been Giant killers

0 - 0 what is it about this team?

not going to be easy is it?

here we go

win, nice

Romo (it must be 2012) is again the Giants closer.

even year magiiiik

Let's go Giants!

fuck

Even if the Giants make the post-season, I cannot imagine the bullpen managing any stress situation confidently, or anything at all for that matter.

won't need them in the offs, just ride the starters til the wheels all off

NOW or never

this season has been something else. up six runs and Bumgarner on the hill. should be in the bag, right?

it shouldn't be this hard

a HUGE win

Giants have a good night after not playing. such a strange season.

six games are left, go time

i guess this is true for every team

what?

The Giants acquired infielder Gordon Beckham from the Braves to boost the right side of the bench and lineup in light of Eduardo Nuñez's hamstring strain. They also placed outfielder Mac Williamson on the 60-day disabled list with a quadriceps strain, ending his season.

Minor-league infielder Rich Rodriguez went to the Braves in the deal.

The Giants also promoted a third catcher, former Pittsburgh Pirate Tony Sanchez, giving manager Bruce Bochy more flexibility in pinch-hitting his backup catcher and making defensive moves. Lastly, they designated left-hander Matt Reynolds for assignment to clear another 40-man spot.

at least one run in the first inning, a very good sign.

i probably wrote that too soon. they could have scored even more runs in the first.

becoming way too superstitious

damn it

but the game is still young

1000th for Buster.

they are playing well

The bullpens are the only thing I dislike about AT&T.

There goes my hopes of Matt Reynolds of the Giants pitching to Matt Reynolds of the Mets in a post season game

all three teams that are playing for the Wild Card scored 12 runs last night. what are the chances?

ha, Mark Reynolds was terrible but would have been fun.

xpost

the Marlins for obvious reason are already checked out. no help there.

5 games to go

way too much stress for me. might watch something else while the game is on my phone.

or glace at my phone while i watch something else

cards lose

fuck

it's time

the outs are running out

intense

:-(

Former Giants third baseman Matt Duffy stopped by the clubhouse before Wednesday’s game and wished his old pals well in their quest for a playoff bid.
“I’ll give myself to the end of the season to root for them,” said Duffy, who was shipped to Tampa Bay at the Aug. 1 trade deadline. “Next year, they’re on their own.”

Duffy is recovering from Achilles surgery and walked in a protective boot Wednesday, the first day he was able to ditch his crutches. He’ll remain in a boot six weeks and anticipates doing full baseball activity in early January.
He was in the Bay Area to clear out his place in Walnut Creek and wanted to visit with his old teammates one more time before returning home to Southern California.

“I obviously care about this organization a lot,” Duffy said. “I think I always will -- as long as they’re not playing us. I’m definitely rooting for them the rest of the way.”

Duffy, whose last game as a Giant was June 19, didn’t want to hear about his old team’s ongoing second-half struggles. The Giants are 26-41 since the All-Star break.

“The last five years or whatever, it’s the same story almost,” he said. “Everybody counts the Giants out until the last few weeks or whatever. Even in 2014, we were struggling. You’ve just got to get in. Once you get in, anything can happen. It’s a different ballgame. For the most part, you’ve got three (starters). It’s managed differently. The intensity ramps up. Guys who can keep calm in those situations are the guys that come out on top. That’s what this group has.”

hell yeah, Reds just tied in the 9th.

well there's a buzzkill for you

this may be the most important game of the year, heading into the three game dogfight against the doyers n all

huge W by the Cards

Rockies could be scary in the near future.

they need to update their branding so badly
