oh fuck nice one andrus... way to get picked off of second. then a cutscene to the yankees fans mocking the rangers hand signals. now josh hamilton will make the last out and guess what? VLADIMIR GUERRERO WILL LEAD OFF YET ANOTHER FUCKING INNING.

I'm out.

all this god bless america shit needs to go away. jesus h christ, i got it after 9/11 and on sundays sure the whole god thing, but every fucking game in the playoffs? why do we need to god bless america during the playoffs, but not 6/7 days out of the week during the regular season?

you know what's amazing is how many players on the giants didn't start the season on the team. obviously PLAYOFF HERO CODY ROSS didn't, burrell didn't, i'm pretty sure aubrey huff didn't. posey started in the minors to try and avoid super-2 status (but i think he might have gotten it anyways) i think andres torres was on the team but wasn't expected to contribute as he did. and then kung fu panda is batting seventh in the playoffs.

if these guys can hold on and take a 3-1 lead, that's pretty damn remarkable. posey just pwnd bastardo there... the kid can hit. the 17HR power was a bonus, as people projected him to be a perennial .300+ hitter but with marginal to average power.

_________________

these dumbass giants fans have inspired me. i'm going to have to attend a giants game next year and bring a cody ross sign when he's on the virge of AAA/permabenching.

edit: wow. cody ross should have 6-4-3'd out of the inning but rollins just absolutely fucked that up. ever the master of the narrative, joe buck explained that it's an error on rollins but it could be seen otherwise because that took a terrible hop on him.

see this is one of the many reasons i hate joe fucking buck. he's so smarmy and telling us what the story is and what we're supposed to think about the hot issues of the day (moreso in his NFL broadcasts) you can tell fox is pushing cody ross showing all the signage in the crowd and therefore when PLAYOFF HERO CODY ROSS hits what should be a really easy 6-4-3 DP ball and it's an obvious error, there is our lord and master joe buck explaining to us that it's not necessarily an error because PLAYOFF HERO CODY ROSS hit it in such a way that it took a terrible hop on j-ro.

thanks, joe buck. at least mccarver waited for about 3-4 seconds and then said "um, that ball has to be fielded and the play has to be made"

PLAYOFF HERO JUAN URIBE! BATFLIP FOR A SAC FLY DUDE!

he had one of those good uribe plays at SS where he absolutely gunned out a philly dude a couple'a innings back.

welp, san fran just has to turn through halladay/oswalt(?)/hamels and win one more game. halladay/lincecum tomorrow. shoudl be epic

cue the daft punk ONE-MORE-TIIIIMEEEE!! fucking san francisco. i just spotted some schmuck in an imitation bonds jersey... i think fox needs more close ups of cody ross' face juxtaposed with the signage in the crowd. HOLY FUCKING SHIT, brian wilson's beard is creepy. it looks like it's a sentient being... yeesh.

that said, fox would be wise to start the buster posey lovefest. 4-5 tonight and a huge hit to help win this game.

try to relax dude... i know you're going to have nightmares about colby lewis tonight. prior to this season, he spent the last two seasons freelancing for the CIA infiltrating al-qaeda camps and purposely teaching them bad pitching mechanics in order to make sure that al qaeda never has a shot at winning the world baseball classic.

_________________

I will likely have nightmares about colby cheddar before I will have nightmares about Colby Lewis. That being said, I appreciate Mr. Lewis' services to this great nation.

In Al-Qaeda baseball games, do the pitchers frequently have to dodge Subarus driven by Israelis? I am just wondering.

Thats the magic of having TWO guys go down to "The Master" in the same year.

You seem to like the color pink, is there something you want to tell everyone StoneRoses?

oh and since i won't be around for most of the game and won't be able to swap witticisms with myself in the thread, who do y'all got tonight?

i'm going to go out on a limb and say the giants will pull this one out. andres torres will embrace his inner teri hatcher do something real and spectacular.
