GAMEBALL and JOKER--> ROCKIES at GIANTS 9/14

With their playoff hopes on life support, and historians pulling out examples of miraculous finishes in order to keep the fan base hopes up…. tonight was a HUGE win…..sure it helped keep the Giants alive in the Wild Card, but a HUGE win for my pocket book as the Playoff Payments are dues on Wednesday… a loss tonight and you can bet the number of season ticket holders willing to fork over thousands of dollars would have dropped off dramatically…. so with their 2009 revenue dollars at stake, the Giants responded with a clutch win……

GAMEBALL and JOKER--> ROCKIES at GIANTS 9/14

GAMEBALL

TIM

Man, they don't call this kid the Franchise for nothing, as this Franchise would be fucked without him….well the Franchise is back and looking strong again…..and Timmy wasn't really sharp, but his stuff was fucking NASTY as his changeup with falling off the table, his Curveball was a hard biting downer, and his Fastball broke a couple of Molina's fingers…..Man, seems like forever since Timmy pitched, and his electric stuff looks even better after not seeing it for 9 days…and his presence on the mound was a shot of adrenaline to the fans and most importantly to his team…..good god, you know the Giants are watching him work thanking god they don't have to try to hit that shit…..Welcome back Tim, we missed you……and good job on the bunt to set up the sac fly for run #3

TIP OF THE CAP :
MOLINA
Moved down to the 5th hole, and responded with a bloop single to lead off the 2nd inning rally…. and crushed a solo shot in the 3rd…so fearsome he was intentionally walked in the 8th…OK it was to set up a force, but still…..

ROWAND
Men on base, and 0 out….Mr Triple Play found a hole with his grounder to put out the rist 2 runs of the game…….

VELEZ
Sac Fly in the 2nd was big, and he aborted his home run trot and legged out a base clearing triple……

URIBE
2 Hits 2 K's…..no homers…….

AFFELDT
Kept the ball rolling when the game was still sorta close…..1 scoreless, with 2 K's and a walk…..and give Chuck Meriwether the assist, the Ump had a good looking fist pump on the Atikins K, making any celebration by Affedlt redundant…..

PENNY
What the FUCK was this guy doing….With Timmy mid batter on the mound, the camera shows Penny making a kiss face towards the mound, followed by a big grin, and then a air fist bump…..is there something about your relationship with Tim that we don't know about????

JOKER

BOCHY

Winn batting 3rd again???? This gives Winn 164 PA in the 3 hole this year,…ok, he got on base twice but this is driving me nutz……So Finally Bochy has the balls to move Molina from the cleanup spot….and where does he move him…..#5… statistically the most likely spot in the batting order to lead off the 2nd……You wouldn't bat Molina Leadoff would you??? Well Molina did lead off the 2nd tonight….and lucky enough, he came through with a single which catalyzed the rally…..hell, maybe Bochy is the genius and I am the idiot….well, he is making millons of dollars in the game of baseball, but then again, I guess I don't do so badly…I just got promoted from cutting the potatoes to the running the French Fryer =)

SMACK OF THE STICK :
SANDOVAL
Well, our new cleanup hitter looks like he is putting too much pressure on himself with 2 K's in a 0 for 4 night…but I will give him some props….on a slow hit ball from Yorvit, he went to the barehand trying to make the play…..he missed the ball, but I will take a physical mistake over a mental mistake anyday……

RENTERIA
The Giants went back to back games with their strongest defensive infield…and you weren't in the mix….sorry Edgar……

PANDA EXPRESS
Finally, the Giants were able to sell a natural sponsorship opportunity, with the Panda Cam brought to you by Panda Express……but, they aren't stopping there….I hear a few more deals in the work……The Hacker of the Game brought to you by Phillip Morris, the Horse Shit Call of the Game brought to you by Mirical Grow Fertilizer, and lastly the Bochy's Lineup brought to you by In 'n' Out………

FINAL THOUGHTS
The Matchup of Lincecum v Hammels may look like a win on paper, but Lincecum had the uncertainty of coming off an injury and Hammels turned in 5 solid versus the Giants last time the Rocks were in town….a solid win to be sure, but tomorrow will be another big game tomorrow, and this time the Giants need to see if they can keep their hot bats going versus the sizzling fastball of Ubaldo Jimenez….come on G's let's keep this thing rolling……

(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 though 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 in when he gets inducted to Cooperstown..)
