NLDS Game 2 Thread: Bravos @ Gigantes, 6:30p

Tommy Hanson (10-11, 3.33) vs. Matt Cain (13-11, 3.14).

COMMENTS: The only thing making the Braves' two hits off Tim Lincecum look reasonable? The Reds' zero hits off Roy Halladay. The Braves should be Abel to muster a few more knocks against Cain, but Jason Heyward needs to make some noise in order to bolster his ROY credentials in the court of public opinion. Maybe he can fool an umpire into making the wrong call or something.

God forbid baseball institutes replay. Then chaos would just break out. Imagine, five-minute delays to look over a call! MADNESS!

karina said...

I agree, Mr LASF. If that rule is instituted, I can imagine 5-hour 9-inning games. I love extra-innings but games that long might reduce my baseball consumption to one a day ;)

Kyle Baker said...

Son of Scooby! Didn't know about this thread.

MR.F said...

Scrappy Doo is in fact Scooby's nephew. Damn.

Kyle Baker said...

Yeah, I don't think Scoob ever procreated, did he?

MR.F said...

According to his wikipedia page, no. But he has had his love interests.

Orel said...

speaking of which

MR.F said...

Nice one, Orel. But no pics of Scooby's myriad of love interests?

Amber, Dusk, Chiquita, Googy, Sandy Duncan, Jeannie, Sled dog, and Miyumi!

Who knew Scooby had a case of canine yellow fever!!

spank said...

This blog is starting to turn into a freaking pet store.

MR.F said...

The best damned pet store in town!

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Magilla Gorilla at Mr. Peebles pet store.

Now that was a pet store.

But then again, only RBN is old enough to remember that one. I think.

karen said...

Greetings Boys and Girls

I'm feeling too much love in here what with talk of The Scoob and pet shops and all.

Embrace your HATE people. Tonite the Bravos need all of our hate juju focused on the evil Gnats!!!

karen said...

Those orange jerseys look ridiculous

karen said...

Hooray!! Gnats down at 3rd and home plate!

spank said...

You got knocked the fuck out Oyster Pubes



What's up Karen

MR.F said...

Yo Karen!

I feel like saying "Greetings" or "hello" isn't hate-y enough.

karen said...

Hey Spank & MrF!!

I'm feelin' your hate!!!

spank said...

What is this? Alternate jersey night.

spank said...

HATEHATEHATE

karen said...

Tommy Hanson from my hometown of Redlands. That's good enough for me to ratchet up the HATE another degree.

spank said...

Fucking Sandoval.What a a fucking drama queen all thrown on the ground

karen said...

I hate Pat Burrell

Orel said...

great

Steve Sax said...

Dear Braves

What the fuck, are you going to put up a fight or not?

Sincerely
SoSG Sax

karen said...

Ok everyone, since Karina isn't here, I'll step outside of my hate for a moment to remind us all to take a deep breath and remember it's only the 2nd inning.

spank said...

Kick some dirt on the umps shoe Cox

spank said...

I need one of my playoff picks to win one game. I haven't ran naked with a fish in a long time and I'm yearning for it.

karen said...

@Spank--When the Braves comeback and win this, what kind of fish are you going to run with tonite?

MR.F said...

What frightens me most about Big Fat Panda?

(size)

spank said...

@ karen

That gets decided at the very last second in order to draw inspiration from the comments (like sharktopus)
Except for the trout. That one was already in the bag.

karen said...

Well crap.

MR.F said...

Dear Braves,

Fuck.

MR. F

spank said...

Flyout double play.


We Make Party!

MR.F said...

We have to have higher standards than that, Spanky. This isn't the Dodgers we're talking about.

karen said...

How can the baseball gods do this to us after what we've been through already this season??

spank said...

Might as well Mr.F. There has been nothing to celebrate the last couple days

spank said...

*Channeling Karina*

One run at a time Bravos. One run at a time.

Josh S. said...

FUCK SHIT ASS BITCH FUCK!!!

Some team I fucking hate is going to win the World Series. (Or maybe the Rangers, who I'm indifferent about.) Why even bother watching?

karen said...

Gnat fans are so stupid, they have to be told when to shake their rags.

karen said...

YAY! A Gnat strikeout!

*Baby steps*

spank said...

The ball got kept in the infield.

We Make Mega-Party!!

spank said...

Mute Time

Nostradamus said...

Oh for fucks sake this isn't watchable.

MR.F said...

Indeed.

karen said...

C'mon Bravos, time to nut up

spank said...

Do something Ankiel you crazy armed bastard

karen said...

A single! A single!! :)

spank said...

Come on Fuckers.We need some runs

Fred's Brim said...

What the hell am I doing home on a Friday night watching the goddam Giants go up 2-0?
Getting drunk, that's what!

MR.F said...

Come on Heyward! Work your magic!

Fred's Brim said...

double play coming up

spank said...

Freddie Brim ruining the inning

Thanks dude!

Fred's Brim said...

"Beat ATL" signs? Really? Is that the best the SF Comical could do?

karen said...

Greetings FB!!

Fred's Brim said...

sorry everybody.

If that makes you leave the house early to get your drank on, you can thank me later

Fred's Brim said...

hi karen!

the only thing enjoyable about this game is the ads for the Crystal Caves. I want to go there

MR.F said...

Sigh. This is terrible.

Fred's Brim said...

siddown, Michael Cera haircut

spank said...

Actually I'm going to go get my grub on. Be back to see the rest of this injustice

Fred's Brim said...

these spring training uniforms are pathetic

Fred's Brim said...

spanky, get mini sirloin burgers!

karina said...

I fell asleep...


Epale everyone! have faith after all, they're wearing orange jerseys like their Aguilas counterparts.

Results? no championships

Fred's Brim said...

is the Braves hat even blue? it looks black

Fred's Brim said...

hi karina!
what is Coper doing in that picture?

karen said...

Yay!! Karina's here!

Epale Karina. We've been being very brave and trying to be positive. Let's hope you brought lotsa luck!!

MR.F said...

Epale Karina!

Well, mostly Karen's been trying to be brave and positive. The rest of us have been our usually doomy and gloomy selves.

Fred's Brim said...

ahhh it's the pumpkins vs the garbage bags!

Fred's Brim said...

Pat the skillet!

karina said...

It was taken last Sunday, after he went to a March for human rights. He was very hot, so my mom took away his shirt and shoes. My sister-in-law and I were in the back of my dad's truck, so he hit the window so they opened it from him.

It's important to notice how Coper and Jaco (my sister-in-law Yorkie) were in the cabin and we were outside and do not minding at all :)

Go Braves! you can do this!

MR.F said...

Braves scored?!

SUPER MEGA PARTY!!!!

karina said...

I'm so proud of you, Karen. Way to go, my SoSG sister!

Fred's Brim said...

we want Mota!

karina said...

^took off is the right phrasal verb

Fred's Brim said...

hehe Coper's naked!!!

Steve Sax said...

One fucking run, come on Braves you wimps

Steve Sax said...

SF fans are conferring over Chardonnay, trying to figure out how to pronounce "beat ATL"

karen said...

@Saxy--The only chant they know is Beat LA

Fred's Brim said...

these stinking Braves are going to turn me into Phillies fans, aren't they?

god why am I watching baseball anymore?

Fred's Brim said...

"Beat Attle!"

Al Attles, watch out!

karen said...

@FB--Please don't become a Pillies fan :(

If I have to, I'll root for the Yankees in the WS

karen said...

^Phillies

Fred's Brim said...

I know, karen, I know. I just don't know what to do :(

karen said...

@FB--It really makes for an anti-climactic season. First your team sucks, then your two most hated rivals are probably going to duel it out for the NLCS. The only thing we can do if that happens is become American league fans.

karina said...

@Fred's Brim hahahaha, that's right, he always wear a shirt and shoes when he's out ;)

@karen I thought the exact same thing, I'd rather root for the Yankees, at the end, it's in my blood too ;)

Fred's Brim said...

go Rangers?

spank said...

FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKING GIANTS PIECES OFF SHIT GET A BROOMSTICK AND SHOVE IT ALL THE WAY UP THERE

karen said...

@FB--I'll go for that

Fred's Brim said...

up where?

karina said...

go CJ Wilson? just kidding!

karen said...

Spanky's home!!

spank said...

I feel much much better now thank you very much.

Fred's Brim said...

@karen, it's either that or the asteroid

spank said...

I misspelled of

TOO MUCH HATE

karen said...

C'mon Jason. At least make an arguement for ROTY

Fred's Brim said...

@spanky, the extra F was for FUCK YOU GIANTS!

Fred's Brim said...

ack
he was more rotty than ROTY

spank said...

Heyward sucks. Rookie of the year.

RRRRRRIIIIIIIIGGGGGHHHHHHHTTTTTTT

spank said...

Right on FB

MR.F said...

Heyward is not having a good first playoff series.

spank said...

When did Kung Fu Puto become a switch hitter?

MR.F said...

Nice one, Spanky.

Kyle Baker said...

I hate every fuckin thing there is to hate!!!
*(&(*#^YIU(FY)(YE&)(*%RY&)(*WUYD

spank said...

Chino looks latin.

karen said...

@DB--Well said

Nostradamus said...

Why do I do this to myself. It's clear this post-season is cursed, yet I continue to watch.

spank said...

HATEHATEHATE

Fred's Brim said...

same here, Mr C

I just can't look away

Kyle Baker said...

I was commenting on the culture/primitive yet funky commercial on the other thread, in fact.

#ScoobyDoo

spank said...

What happened to Karina? I think i scared her with my tirade.

karen said...

@MrC--You continue to watch for the same reason we all watched the Dodgers all season, we're not the sharpest kni...Oh crap! We need to get lives!

Fred's Brim said...

why is Zach Galifianakis pitching?

he's slimmed down some. good for him.

Kyle Baker said...

Get your chardonnay orders in, lads!

WTF is with that beard on Romo? Why does he jet dye it brown like that? Ah, he's number 54, that explains it. My least favorite number on earth because it's the evil twin of 45.

karina said...

I'm here, watching the train wreck silently.

I'm so angry I can't even curse or hate

karina said...

Lee's lead off single!

karina said...

@Mr C @Fred's Brim you're still watching because you're baseball junkies and need your fix, even if it is a lousy one.

Nostradamus said...

I'm hoping for divine intervention on behalf of the rangers at this point.

spank said...

@ Karina

I'll hate for you

Jump off your bridge you orange pansies

Fred's Brim said...

"Bitin' your style, man? And they come out here and make money, like, tryin' to hustle me man? Scooby Doo!"

spank said...

No one likes you Romo. You can't even make your own local newspaper and your team is in the playoffs.PLAYOFFS.

It's kinda sad actually.


*laughs*

Nostradamus said...

6 Out blown save opportunity for Wilson.

Kyle Baker said...

Hey Karina, I forgot to ask why your dog's name is Coper. What is the story behind that? It always reminds be of a Beastie Boys lyric.

Paul

MR.F said...

Rally you stupid Braves! Rally!!!

karen said...

Maybe Brian Wilson pitches 2 inning saves as good as Jonathon Broxton

We can hope

Kyle Baker said...

Worst. Dressed. Fans. Ever.

karina said...

I just saw a billboard: "fear the beard"

Geeeeez, they can be cool even if they try their best. "In the Beard I trust" is 10000000000 times better

spank said...

Was that Larry Bud Mellman in the pinstripes?

spank said...

HaHaHaHa

karina said...

everyone's safe!

*tomahawk chomping*

Kyle Baker said...

This exchange just happened on the Twitters:

Andrew Siciliano: Who was that pimp in the yellow pin-stripes? #giants

Dusty Baker: RT @AndrewSiciliano: Who was that pimp in the yellow pin-stripes? #giants \\Jon Miller?

Fred's Brim said...

YES!!!!

karina said...

new game! way to go Alex Gonzalez!

karen said...

YEEESSS!!!

spank said...

Fuck Yeah Motherfuckers

Rally up!!!!!

Nostradamus said...

Go, you Atlanta Braves of Boston by way of Milwaukee!

Kyle Baker said...

I'm wearing my thong backward for this rally.

spank said...

Ankiel'D

Kyle Baker said...

Beat these shiteaters!

Fred's Brim said...

@DB it's a nice change of pace, isn't it?

karina said...

By the way, Brian Wilson, fashion police just failed you.

MR.F said...

WOW! LOOK AT THE SCORE!

(ties)

Josh S. said...

Yay, I guess.

@karina I actually do fear Wilson's beard. It looks like a highly contageous skin disease.

spank said...

Don't start that bullshit again Mr.F



Anger(arise)

Fred's Brim said...

it looks like that pube beard they put on that dude in that Jackass movie

Kyle Baker said...

Actually it just hit me that Karina's dog and a SoSG reader are both mentioned within the same stanza of a fine Beasties song:

I'm so rope they call me Mr. Roper
When the troubles arise I'm the cool coper
On the mic I score just like the Yankees
Get over on Ms. Crabtree like my main man Spanky

Fred's Brim said...

aww gross, that old cursive Giants logo was sooo bad

karina said...

@Fred's Brim 9:06 PM exactly, however if the Braves win, it might turn into something way more pleasant

@Dusty Baker Coper is short for Copernico (like the scientist's last name). I wanted to call him a) Koufax b) Lasorda but I wasn't allowed since everyone in this family has different MLB loyalties. I also tried to call him Brando, Dean or Boggart :(

My younger brother, who was the one who brought Coper, wanted a scientist name, came up with it and Coper just learned that name for himself at the very first moment (my parents' convo of genes gave us a penchant for geekiness or what?)

karina said...

@Josh that's a fair point. It might even host unknown diseases for humanity. Ewwwwwww

spank said...

That sounded made up Holmes.But thanks for the name drop

Kyle Baker said...

Spank, did you just dis the Beastie Boys? Say it ain't so.

"3-Minute Rule" from Paul's Boutique.

#FightinWords

Nostradamus said...

Siddown, Oyster Pubes.

Kyle Baker said...

Got it, Karina. Dat's coo. Always had wondered.

I got my way and was allowed to name our dog Frankie after Chelsea's Frank Lamaprd.

spank said...

They get all of Oyster's Pubes and glue them onto their faces

spank said...

How could I have missed that lyric? I must have been pretty high at the time.

spank said...

^^glued

Kyle Baker said...

I was decidedly stoned out of my gourd when that first dropped, to be sure.

Kyle Baker said...

Does glued refer to your 9:24 or 9:26 comment, Spank? Or both?

Nostradamus said...

Alright, Bravos. I need runs this inning. I can't handle the thought of a Jint walk off.

Steve Sax said...

Wow, all tied up through 8. Interesting.

Fred's Brim said...

@DB - you ever seen Gummo?

Kyle Baker said...

Not perfect grammar, always perfect timin'
The Mike stands for money and the D is for Diamond


Sorry, Spanky, I'll stop now.

spank said...

9:24

too much coke zero.I need a beer to straighten out

Fred's Brim said...

time for Heyward to show everybody what time it is

Fred's Brim said...

it's 12:30

Kyle Baker said...

@FB

No, I didn't. However, at first IMDB glance I note there is midget presence. I'm intrigued.

Fred's Brim said...

Braves need to get to Mota

karina said...

@Steve Sax the Bravos heard your complains :)

Fred's Brim said...

midgets and glue huffing and some interesting Burt Reynolds references.

it's actually terrible, but worth seeing once, if you like/are interested in Harmony Korine movies

Kyle Baker said...

@FB

Or if I'm into midgets and glue huffing and Burt Reynolds references.

Kyle Baker said...

^Which I am

karina said...

@Fred's Brim your mota's observations are cracking me up

Kyle Baker said...

@Spank

that beard is a veritable Papua New Guinea as far as obscure species identification goes.

karina said...

@Dusty Baker I thought you named Frankie after Frank McCourt ;)

sorry but it was too easy to say that, as we say here "me la dejaste de bombita" (baseball slang actually)

Fred's Brim said...

Pablo Sandoval looks like Uncle Majic The Hip Hop Magician

spank said...

@ Dusty

It can be an incubator for all the small species of the rain forest

Fred's Brim said...

cripes - this dude brings it

Kyle Baker said...

Uribe Kemp'd.

Fred's Brim said...

@DB, we all are, at least a little

Fred's Brim said...

not Cody
please, not Cody

Fred's Brim said...

55 "splash hits" at PacBell this season
2 splash hits in my toilet tonight


sorry

spank said...

good

karen said...

Thank you Cody Ross!

karina said...

200!

Fred's Brim said...

the Giants fans should be heading home to recycle soon

karen said...

@FB--That was so gross yet oddly appropriate in comparing Phone Booth Park to a toilet :)

Fred's Brim said...

heh - I knew it was wrong, but it felt so right

spank said...

Phone Booth is to big

karina said...

Spanky, if you don't have a Twitter account, you should think to get one, who knows? you might be the next "$%^* my dad says"

while we're at it, how's that show?

Fred's Brim said...

smart play, make Glaus run on cold legs

Fred's Brim said...

yikes that was close

Fred's Brim said...

and Vagner is hurt

spank said...

Karina don't get offended but i don't understand what you just said Kiddo

What show?

Dad says what?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Hey, the Braves aren't losing/have lost? When I last checked it was 3-0 after two.

Fred's Brim said...

i bet he hurt himself on the first bunt

karina said...

It's October and Brian Wilson is trending in LA. However, thanks to that, I found another reason to mock Jints fans:

http://twitter.com/BeardOfBrian

sample tweets?

"As many stars are in the sky, as many sands are on the shore, so great are the number of hairs on Brian Wilson's face. #SFGiants"

"The Beard gives Brian Wilson cellphone reception. #BeardPower"

(shakes head)

Fred's Brim said...

the Mazda "Juke"? it looks like a pregnant rollerskate

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Our Beard Mode brings all the guys to the Yard, and we're like, it's better than yours. Damn right, it's better than yours, Blake can trim you but he'd have to charge.

Fred's Brim said...

game over

Fred's Brim said...

kyle
fucking
farnsworth

karina said...

@Spanky I'll tell you tomorrow, I've just said my prayers for tonight
