GAMEBALL and JOKER ==> BRAVES at GIANTS 10/10 NLDS Game 4

Awesome…. just fucking awesome……after sulking out of ATT Park on Friday Night and dragging myself back home……sulking into work on Saturday…..knocking out the day before sulking back home………then the Rally on Sunday morning, telling myself if we can just win 1 in Atlanta…..just win 1……I headed into the City to take in the game at the Public House……ran into the crowd from McCovey Chronicles……Man……that was the BIG game……lose and you are on the brink, win and you are guaranteed to return home……the ups and downs of Hinske, Huff, and Conrad left me euphoric and drained……dragged myself home and passed out……into work today with a spring in my step…..knowing if we didn't put it away today, we would be back home in a couple days…….but fuck that, you want to finish it now…..and goddamn it if they didn't do it and put us through to the FUCKING NLCS BABY…….thats the REAL playoffs if you ask me…..That 5 game wham bam thank you Brooks Conrad, is like the Cliff Notes to the playoffs…..the 7 game series where the winner gets a World Series Berth and a Pennant……now THAT'S worth getting excited about……and I got to tell you, as the reality of it all is sinking in……I got a lump in my throat…..this has been one hell of a season……and pretty soon, it could be something really fucking special…….


GAMEBALL and JOKER ==> BRAVES at GIANTS 10/10 NLDS Game 4

GAMEBALL

CODY

Man, I just couldn't believe it when Cody made that roster instead of Guillen….could it be that the Front Office isn't filled idiots and ass clowns? And man has Cody been LARGE for the Giants, and tonight he broke Lowe's spell with a laser shot over the left field wall to put the Giants on the board and get the ball rolling on Offense…..and then an inning later….with the bases juiced came up with the hit to put the Giants in the lead for good…..loved what this guy did for the Marlins….and glad to have him on our side……

TIP OF THE CAP :
BUM
The "other" rookie stud on the Giants……A little shaky in the 2nd and 3rd, but kept the Giants in the game long enough to get the lead and hand the ball over the bullpen corps……

CASILLA
Mean nasty shit…….he was money once he got past that first 9 pitch at bat…..turning in 1 2/3rd solid in a high pressure situation….

LOPEZ
Man……in my book Bowker and Martinez were worth less than watching that 1 at bat of schooling the Phenom Braves right fielder…….

TIMMY
Always good for an on air F Bomb when the bubbly if flowing….this time with Flem on KNBR…….

COX
Class act, nice guy, hall of fame career……butt load of wins…..if you want more, I suggest Wikipedia

WILSON
Say what you will, but he was on the mound when the Giants advanced…..and that’s worth something

ASHTON
This is kinda cool, assuming you haven't already seen it….. Three or Four years??? Try fucking 56 years……but that being said, tip that cap to a well done vid…….

JOKER

CONRAD

Boo fucking hoo…..come on, man Brooks just flat out blew it……yeah, out of position….Heyward should called him off…..and all that shit……whatever man…..hey, the Braves fans are a forgiving bunch and Brooks had a good year so there is some love…..and more power to them…..but put this guy in Boston, Chicago, Philly, New York, or Boston and the mobs with torches and pitchforks are knocking down on the door……heck, put this guy in San Francisco and he is likely railroaded out of town…..being a nice guy and having one good year don't forgive shit like that….this is Major Fucking League Baseball man….there is plenty of time for forgiveness and appreciation 20 years from now…..there is something to be said for a fanbase that has Heroes to celebrate and Villains to revile…. ask Jose Cruz about that Gold Glove and his career year in 2003……and yeah honestly, I do feel for Jose……but in the same breath I am still cursing his name……and better Brooks than one of our own…..and I make no apologies……

SMACK OF THE STICK :
WILSON
Good god man……you are the best fucking closer in the National League……we are only asking for 1 clean inning……good god, do you have to torture us???? I guess we all know the answer…..

TORRES
Hey, I got mad love for Andres…..but 6 K's in 4 games and 1-3 in stolen bases ain't getting it done, and this team is going to need you soon…..so get it together and lets get it done my man……

URIBE
I was looking forward to a focused Uribe bearing down and giving us good at bats…..instead he gets worked on the outside half of the plate……and instead of going with the pitch, he just crowds the plate and yanks everything……yeah, I know that’s what he has done all year……but then again, I have seen him bear down and get long at bats and go the other way when the game called for it…..maybe I'm dreaming but I still think he may have some surprises left for us this year……..

HEYWARD
Wow…….in a meek Braves lineup, Hewyard could have been the game changer in this hard fought low scoring series…….instead, he racks up 7 K's in 12 hitless at bats……and in the final game when he finally breaks through with a couple hits……he is schooled in the 8th with the tying run in scoring position with 2 down…….

(The fine print: There will be cussing and bad taste. This is written with the heat of the moment feel you may have during the game, with rational thought sprinkled in now and then. This is entertainment folks, sure there is a lot of truth and I am a genius, but this is all about having a laugh and enjoying the ride…….now lets go heckle Jeff Kent when he gets inducted to Cooperstown..)
