Jeff Weaver (5-4, 3.90) vs. Tim Lincecum (12-3, 2.20).
Remember how you felt Sunday night? Compare that to how you feel now. Big difference, no? Certainly the Dodgers can relate, and hopefully that attitude shift will pay off against Lincecum. The Dodgers are throwing their entire bullpen against Mr. Cy Young today, including 25-year-old knuckleballer Charlie Haeger, who took Eric Stults' place on the roster.
Joe Torre, on catching the knuckleball:
My catching a knuckleball was so good the Braves went out and got Bob Uecker, which hastened the end of his playing career and he became a broadcaster. I feel responsible for making him a broadcaster.
Good luck today, Russell!
And a note from Ken Rosenthal at FOXSports.com:
One scout views the Giants' red-hot Eugenio Velez the same way he viewed the Marlins' Emilio Bonifacio early in the season. Velez, the scout says, is feasting on fastballs. Once opponents start throwing him breaking balls, his party will end.

Maybe we can knock Timmy out in the ninth and take the lead off Wilson.
Now I'm being optimistic!
@Orel "Fanerman representing the Glass-Half-Full Society"
may i be his assistant?
If any ballclub represented Slytherin, it's the San Francisco Giants.
Gameday Audio has gone dead.
That means we're gonna WIN!!!!
No such luck
Timmy bats for himself.
@Fanerman "If any ballclub represented Slytherin, it's the San Francisco Giants."
Great minds and all that...
If Giants fans want to feel great about a 2-4 homestand preceeding a brutal road trip, more power to them.
I still think we have a shot to make it a 1-5er.
Wilson isn't even getting warm in the bullpen.
@Karina "may i be his assistant?"
Karina, you're the CEO!
CEO? She's the headmistress!
Tim Lincecum is four years older than Clayton Kershaw. How lucky are we.
@Orel @Fanerman hahahahahahahaahahahahahaha, headmistress of the Glass Half Full Society?. You both have made my afternoon :)
Lincecum vs Loretta, power vs power.
Loretta goes down. One away.
Didn't they get drafted in the same class? I think we actually picked kershaw before the giants picked up lincecum.
Raffy's safe!
Damnit. 2 outs left. Come on guys!
Ron Darling just was tossed. Wilson's warming up in the 'pen.
Why can't Timmy get tossed?
Man we are just getting calls left and right.
Why was he tossed?
He argued the safe call at first.
what happened with Martin? gameday says 'in play not out'
Jeez, Martin's power has all gone to the warning track. At least Raffy tagged up and got second.
Haha damn Martin almost got that one.
Hell yeah, Raffy!
Ron Wotus got tossed.
Gary Darling did the tossing. My bad.
Martin's ball was caught at the warning track. Furcal advanced.
RISP. Come on Dre!!
Hi, my name is Raffy. These two guys? They're my nuts.
Down to the final strike...
Lincecum approaching 120 pitches....
Linc looks tired. Hope he doesn't hang one.
This is tense.
Andre doesn't like this because it's not a walkoff situation.
ETHIER, I LOVE YOU!
YEAH
YESSSS!!!!!
WOOOOOOOO!!!!
NICE!!
WE WANT WILSON
My heart is pounding!
YES!
Lincecum didn't get the memo. If you diss 'Dre, you diss yourself.
MAGIC!
MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Walk away Timmy.
Post-Game Thread rewrite!
hahah, nice Fanerman!
Wilson, you're next, meat.
One down, one to go.
"Lincecum didn't get the memo. If you diss 'Dre, you diss yourself."
I don't know what his means, but I love it!
"this"
Hahahahhhahhaha it worked!!!!!!!
My man! I am never watching a Giants-Dodgers game on gameday again but thank the heavens that kid is all heart.
Manny needs to get aboard.
I want to see Wilson vs. the beard. FTW!!
Who did lincecum cuss at?
@ Orel: its from an old Dr. Dre song. haha
GUESS WHO'S ON DECK
Here's the scenario, Manny walks, and Casey pops a dinger. No arm cross across home plate
Lol Orel. It's from a Dr. Dre song, "Ain't Nuthin' but a G Thang." Snoop Doggy Dogg says the line.
I think Lincecum just dropped an F-Bomb on the first base umpire!
Booger - nice "Chronic" reference.
BTW, Epale all.
Do we have any bullpen left for extras?
First time we've ever chased Timmy?
I wish i could take credit for that one, It was all Fanerman!
Nic J - Good question. Torre used everyone.
Damn. No Beard vs. Mullethawk...yet.
Manny just blew the chance to see the Beard/Wilson matchup.
I don't wanna go back to work.
Now is it Haeger time?
Damn. We still got a game to win!
Brox coming in?
Damn, I wanted to see Hair Club for Men vs. Axe body spray. haha
All right, gentlemen. This a new game!. We have to believe Blake is going to retaliate in the right way: with his bat.
Why wouldn't Wilson pitch next inning?
Snoop Dogg. Full circle!
Come on Brizzle, lets do this shizzle.
Sherrill is good for an inning. Then Haeger can pitch infinite extras.
Crapola.
I'd wish the Dodgers had more Snoop Dogg and less Nickelback.
(heart in throat)
Oh no.
I hope Kemp is OK.
sigh
Damn at least it wasn't a walk off hr.
So close for Kemp.
Sandoval in play no out...crapshizzle!
Would have been a triple if Fatty wasn't a showoff.
Walk Molina to get to Schierholtz? Doesn't make sense.
Breezy, what was that sheezy?
Why not Brox?
Garko's gonna hit instead.
I think you get Broxton in there right now to pitch to Garko.
Aaron Rowand!
Rowand, I'm scared. Just kidding.
Mr. Pooper is up.
Rowand coming in. Get Broxton.
maybe Sherill can get a 2x play ball. Brox doesnt do that to often
please, a ground ball, PLEASE!!!
5-4-3 around the horn DP!
DP! Feels like Christmas!
GIDP!!!!!!!!
I heart Aaron Rowand!
inning ending DP.
NICE!
extras
Beard vs Wilson, part Deux
(thanks for the GIDP Breezy)
Yes!!
Beard vs Douche next?
i want to refer to sandoval as the fatty, but i worry that no one will know if im talking about him, molina or uribe
With the game in extras, it's Casey versus Wilson
What's the Giants LOB right now? ∞?
They are the Fat Amigos!
@ Josh S
12
koufax - you've got en easy ton between the three.
The return of Mini Sirloin Burgers brings good things.
Just got home from the Dune and Avenue 3 Pizza in Long Beach where your loyal rbnlaw almost went at it with Giants fans when the Kung Pao Panda thought we were throwing at him.
Good times.
Here's our dream matchup! Plunk him, Wilson!
we've waited for this one.
@Hong
I will now refer to them as the fat amigos. brilliant.
Way to represent, Rbn!
Mota?
Oh lord.
MLASF, I love me some dramatic chipmunk.
You can see the determination in Beard's face.
God no, not Mota. Not now.
Wilson wins this round...
There Brian, enjoy your revenge.
I'm surprised Wilson didn't cross his arms right then and there.
is there something wrong with broxton, i know he got up at least once?
I dreamed of something better for the Beard.
IT IS TO LAUGH
URIBE DROPPED THE BALL!
hey hey the second fat amigo with a huge boot!
they are the Fat...Amigos!!!
OK, time to take advantage again!
Hahahahaha I hope we get a run off that.
Nice D, Uribe. Wasn't he the player to be named later years ago?
Can't blame the umps for that one!
Bison Mode
Can of corn to Uribe -- it went off his glove.
Come on Bison!!
Bison needs to put the point on the exclamation.
that was very close
No make-up call there?
Damn, that was close.
Vin:
"Boy, Molina is so quick."
As long as he's not on his feet.
Hit the Mullet-Hawk for cripes sake.
big fast ball count here
"to eat"
Matt would of swung at that ball three last year.
Kemp goes down.
tough pitch, great location
BTW, over 500 posts for this thread and no contest? Epic.
ausmus = hero?
Think Loney could get home on a double?
Brad Ausmus will save us!
If it goes into the RF corner, yeah he could score.
just get a on here Aussie.
All we need is for a pop culture icon to die suddenly.
We likely won't see Mullethawk next inning.
Bring on the Merkin!
Ausmus goes down.
Gotta give Wilson props. He gone done his job.
tough to take that pitch
when was the last time the beard played first base?
Mota's gonna get hammered :(
Is this the first time this season Martin's held third?
If we get scoreless innings from Tron and Mota? Miracle.
The infield is all scrambled, save for Raffy at short.
How about the new guy coming in and getting a victory.
Mota throws inside. Panda-monium does not ensue.
Infield shuffle!
walks in xtra innings = disaster
Mota, you moron, don't walk Travis.
@Orel:
There goes the miracle.
No way Torre uses a new pitcher in this game.
<--- praying for a bad bunt
Hit it to the infield, hit it to the infield, hit it to the infield...
It's funny. Giants' fans make us look like sunny-side up optimists when our team is tied or down. They had the lead on Monday and all they could talk about was how bad Winn and Molina were hitting. I just smiled quietly to myself.
nervous
Bad Chexxum!
Going back to the beginning of this thread, with Minkeiwetizczhcz likely not coming back, why not sign Hall?
Did the Brewers eat his contract?
One out.
My son: "and he drops it, oh he drops his hat. OK"
Eye chart will most likely return in September when the roster changes aren't so complex.
Mientkiewicz's return is not automatic.
I hate Mota so...
Congrats, Giants.
crap
Well hell.
Is Loretta warming up to pitch yet?
Mota =(
knew uribe was gonna get a walkoff after that error.
We didn't really want the suicide rate in SF to go up, did we?
Besides that, Timmah didn't beat us.
Mota did.
this cycle of violence with mota has to end. that sucks, we were playing with house money though.
0-2, high fastball over the middle of the plate, I hate you Mota :(.
I'm going in the pool.
There went my day.
Now I have to go home and watch with Mrs. Dusty and pretend I don't know the outcome because she wanted me to Tivo it and watch with her. Awesome wife, bad husband, and I have to put on a nice face...
Family first, DB! PGT up.
