NLDS Game 4 Thread: Giants @ Braves, 4:30p

"D'oh."

Madison Bumgarner (7-6, 3.00) vs. Derek Lowe (16-12, 4.00).

COMMENTS: Is there any baseball fan outside of Atlanta or San Francisco who doesn't feel bad for journeyman Brooks Conrad? "I wish I could just dig a hole and sleep in it," Conrad said after his tripartite-error performance yesterday, and while Atlanta fans may be readying their shovels, the rest of us can only marvel at how baseball showcases failure like no other sport.

Fail seven times out of ten and make the Hall of Fame goes the saying, but Conrad's failure is more about the very relateable feeling of messing up on the biggest stage and having nowhere to hide. Credit to him for talking to the media afterward. And credit to the Braves if they can put this setback behind them and take this series back to San Francisco.

Most annoying thing I missed w/o flash is not being able to access the SoSG Fantasy Football smack board on the fly. Take that how you will, but I can live without.

I hardly use my laptop at all.

As long as we can all live in bubble cities in the clouds, supported by both Flash and HTML5, I will be happy.

You're more likely to get correct use of apostrophes on the internet.

Molly Knight's trying out some new shtick.

"I'm still hoping White will be named Dodgers president then get Frank drunk enough at the Christmas party to agree to sign Adam Dunn."

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! She is not funny.

Josh S. said...

I want HTML6.

Nostradamus said...

I want a pony.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I want to has opulence.

karina said...

I want world peace

Nostradamus said...

I want a near-earth object to fall like a can-of-corn in that giant damn baseball glove at the phone booth.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I want a mini-giraffe.

karina said...

I want a time turner

MR.F said...

Karina wins!

Actually a fully functional phoenix-tail cored wand would be fantastic!

Josh S. said...

I want the Back to the Future blu-ray set.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I want an ten-foot tall marble statue of myself made by Cuban expies.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

^a

NicJ said...

i want to ride my bicycle

karina said...

@Mr F I take you're not a fan of the Elder Wand

(geeks unite!)

karina said...

I want the Dodgers to win a World Series

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

@Karina (10:38) - I thought we were listing things that were never going to happen?

NicJ said...

i think world peace is probably more attainable at this point.

karina said...

I wonder what's more fantastic : HTML6, world peace, a time turner, an asteroid falling into the phone booth baseball park or the Dodgers winning the World Series again (in our lifetime)

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Ach. I forgot to add the (cries) tag.

(cries)

Josh S. said...

I don't want bananas. I want to watch a movie!

karina said...

@Mr LASF @NicJ great minds and all that

NicJ said...

Any Dodgers playing for the LVBP, Karina?

Josh S. said...

I want to get rid of this stupid Saito avatar.

karina said...

@NicJ actually, tomorrow a Dodgers minor leaguer starts against Aguilas. All Dodgers minor leaguers playing with Aguilas were released and I haven't studied foreign players yet.

Josh S. said...

All better.

MR.F said...

The Elder Wand is too violent for me. If a phoenix-core wand is good enough for HP, it's good enough for me.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

NERDS

(pot calls kettle black)

NicJ said...

@Karina, Who?

karina said...

Well Mr F, I think I'd like a wand with a core of unicorn hair, not too long because I'm too clumsy and I might break.Also it has to be made with thick wood, for the reason listed above.

NicJ said...

the AZ Fall League starts tomorrow too.

karina said...

@NicJ Harvey Garcia

karina said...

@Mr LASF that saying is so useful right now. We have something similar: "cachicamo diciéndole a morrocoy conchúo" cachicamo and morrocoy are two different kinds of turtles and the saying is one tells the other it has a shell.

Nostradamus said...

Wow, still busy in here!

Nostradamus said...

If "ifs" were 5ths, we'd all be drunk in this thread.

Nostradamus said...

*gives self a swirlie for being a thread-killer*

Kyle Baker said...

Mr Customer is a turtle killer!

Steve Sax said...

Comment #266!

Time for SoSG to deploy a new Gambit...

Unknown said...

Remember that time the Giants beat everyone in the 2010, 2012, 2014 (and all most 2016) Playoffs?.... Yeah me too!! Lol.
