World Series Game 5 Thread, 4:30p

Tim Lincecum (3-1, 2.79) vs. Cliff Lee (3-1, 2.51).

COMMENTS: It's all over, folks. Nothing to see here. Even if Cliff Lee manages to overcome the — who knew? — Giants' offensive juggernaut, there's no way the Rangers, suddenly weak as kittens, win two at Pac Bell, then SBC, now AT&T Park. The only thing left to contemplate is if the Giants will dominate the NL West for years to come. Lincecum/Cain/Bumgarner (all drafted by Dick Tidrow) are a triumvirate of tossing that seems destined to give us fits. (Not to mention the team can use its World Series $$$ to sign a free-agent slugger — Jayson Werth, anyone?) Add to that our Neverending Divorce Story, and, well, I need a drink.

A day of infamy

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I'm close to it, Karina. Don't push me over the edge. There's no crying in baseball.

NicJ said...

Mota wins a world series.

Kyle Baker said...

One more time, with feeling:

WASH YER HAIR, TIMMEH!!!

NicJ said...

i hope someone laces Timmy's blunt with PCP.

Kyle Baker said...

Molina gets a ring.

Kung Fat Panda gets a ring.

Zito gets a ring.

We get shit, except a season of taunting Josh, on whose shoulders this win squarely sits.

Nostradamus said...

Not cool, man. Not cool.

MeanieBreanie said...

This is torture of the very worst kind :(

NicJ said...

this fucking "misfits" angle makes me want to fucking puke.

Kyle Baker said...

I hope someone laces MY blunt with PCP.

Kyle Baker said...

Two time defending world champion Los Angeles Lakers!!!

ESPECIALLY FUCK ZITO

Kyle Baker said...

(cries)




(hates)

Nostradamus said...

the only potential upside this is that I hate the Giants, Phils, Padres, Braves, and Yankees even more.

Didn't think I had it in me.

MR.F said...

(cries)

Nostradamus said...

(seethes)

karina said...

I can't believe Mota is going to have a World Series ring.

and thanks, Bengie for all your help.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

And I just lost my FF matchup. This just gets better and better!

spank said...

*runs out the front door nekked and engulfed in flames

karina said...

Let's not forget the contribution Padres have on this whatever thing they won :(

Paul said...

I am celebrating. This fuckin season is over.

Nostradamus said...

@MLASF

I will gladly forfeit my FF win for a do-over in this one.

karen said...

I think we should be laughing at these idiots. THEY ARE JUST NOW WINNING THERE FIRST WORLD SERIES. They've been here since 1958 and have ONE fucking WS trophy!

LOSERS!!

karina said...

@SFMOMA TROPHY http://bit.ly/by4ItU (SFMOMA style). Congratulations @SFGIANTS - you have made our city proud!!!!

only in Hipstertown...

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

In addition to the MVP award, Renteria will also receive a coupon to Country Kitchen Buffet, valid only between the hours of two and five.

Nostradamus said...

Learning to be indifferent to this is going to take some work.

karina said...

I'm still crying, tears of anger and sadness :(

Nostradamus said...

@karina

I'm still kinda stunned.

Josh S. said...

I will accept being the SoSG goat, but man, this whole thing screams devil pact. They got their rings, sure, but they will eventually have to burn in hell. It's the only thing that makes sense. The Padres, Braves, Phillies, and Rangers all just inexplicably went to shit when they played the Giants.

karen said...

I've changed the channel to Two and a Half Men. I can't bear the celebration.

spank said...

FUCK FRISCO!

I WILL ALWAYS HATE YOU AND YOU CAN KISS MY FAT ASS MOTHERFUCKERS.

karina said...

this is not your fault, Josh.

This was a group effort: Jamie's hypocrisy (we could have used Lowe), Frank, Ned, Bison, my son has lots of guilt, *&^%#$ Joe Torre and his awful bullpen management, Ethier's pinky, JD Drew, Andruw Jones...

karina said...

@Mr C I feel it too.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

No, we really could not have used Lowe.

karina said...

Czar, yes we could :(

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

No, no, he stinks.

karina said...

are we going to fight, Czar?

:(

spank said...

@ Mr.C

Watch out. It's going to rip you apart.

karina said...

How many days until catchers and pitchers report?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Derek Lowe is current experiencing the two worst seasons of his career.

karina said...

He had a house, his new girlfriend lived there

:_(

it was Jamie and hypocrisy

karina said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I'm sure the Braves fanbase would agree, Lowe is in absolutely no way desirable right now.

NicJ said...

well and there is that too.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Lowe was offered arbitration, if he wanted to come back he could have.

Fred's Brim said...

I am watching a show about pythons. I hope the Giants get eaten by one

Kyle Baker said...

It's pretty bad when Two and a Half Men is a better choice than whatever one is already watching.

spank said...

Lowe split because he was getting heat for leaving his wife for Carolyn Hughes after he had the affair.

Fred's Brim said...

it does give me hope though. If a scrubadub team like that can win, so can we

karina said...

I actually like Renteria as a person.Too bad he's a friggin' Giant.

(cries)

Kyle Baker said...

I feel bad for beating Karina like a drum in fantasy football. I'd take some points back if I could, K!

NicJ said...

for some reason im watching the clipper game.

The announcers talk about Blake Griffin like they have never seen a good player before.

Oh wait...

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

BLAKE GRIFFIN IS THE FUTURE OF THE CLIPPER ORGANIZATION

karen said...

Dusty--It's much better than watching the gnats celebrate.


*Sobs some more*

NicJ said...

The only thing we need a a spectacular pitching staff to combine with OUR patchwork offense.

Kyle Baker said...

FUCK

karina said...

Dusty, your win was clean, like the Giants.

*sobs*

NicJ said...

BLAKE GRIFFIN IS ON A FUTURE TRAIN OUT OF HERE AS SOON AS HIS ROOKIE CONTRACT EXPIRES

Nostradamus said...

@spank

Entirely possible. Everyone brings the thunder when they play me.

Unless you just want to physically pummel me senseless, which would still be preferable to this.

(loathes)

NicJ said...

Clips need to dump Kaman and Davis and commit to an uptempo offense.

they wont win but they will be interesting at least.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

They should have signed AI when they had the chance.

spank said...

@ Mr.C

I was talking about the sinking and hate. There is no way I match up against your team. Look at my roster.I'm fucked next week. And that is the truth.

Nostradamus said...

@Spanky

FUCK, you're right.

Nostradamus said...

Thank god this unholy abomination of a season is over…

Kyle Baker said...

I am already both pummeled and senseless tonight.

Kyle Baker said...

55! 55! 55!

It's definitely time to ask my doctor about Nuedexta.

Josh S. said...

On ESPN Radio's postgame just now, a group of mouthbreather Gint fans at Rangers Ballpark broke into a "Beat LA" chant during Aubrey Huff's interview. He told them, "We didn't play LA! Who cares?!"

I give him a grudging hat tip for that.

NicJ said...

Huff just doesn't get the pettiness of the gints fans.

Kyle Baker said...

That's funny re Huff. I respect that.

Kyle Baker said...

MDIL just told me that Davey Lopes had resigned as 1B coach for Phiwwies and is now a prime candidate to be the DODGERS new 1B coach. If true, then we can go back to liking him again. And steal all the Phiwwies' secrets!

NicJ said...

From the MLB official twitter feed.

"While trophy on field at 10:27 CT, #SFGiants fans behind dugout are chanting "Beat LA, Beat LA!" #NationalPastime"

I hate you MLB. Thanks for rubbing it in.

NicJ said...

i dont know if i can like Lopes and that ash tray of a face he has ever again.

MR.F said...

(cries)

spank said...

300

(cries)

NicJ said...

SPARTANS!!

(war cries)

spank said...

I'll admit I did not like Nics' avatar but now it feels so right.

NicJ said...

so who is going to write the open letter to frank mccourt demanding a world series?

NicJ said...

the gints will not win another world series till they move back to New York.

Kyle Baker said...

If Josh will attack McCourt (both of them) with blue paint, and yell "Domino, motherfucker" at Jamie and then interrupt Frank in a meeting, saying "I'mma let you finish," then he will be forgiven for causing this crime against humanity. Also, Josh must have a copy of _The Catcher in the Rye_ with him.

Kyle Baker said...

(researches Santeria to put a hex on Gnats)

Shaqfor3 said...

hopefully this pushes Ned to trading away our farm for a bunch of shitty veteran hitters so we can win the world series too.

Kyle Baker said...

Done and done, Shaq!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Hey, I already said that!

(see 7:22)

Paul said...

I been playing and watching baseball since I can remember and I am not right anymore.


I will have a mental twitch. I won't walk away but I will be bitter for a long time. N

Fuckers. This will make our next one sweeter no? If we get another one.

NicJ said...

i just hope i live to see the year 2082

Kyle Baker said...

Where's the drinkup, and when? Oh, wait, I'll be getting hammered watching the House fall tomorrow night. Close enough.

First the Gnats and now the Tea Party. 2010 has not been my year.

Paul said...

I think my dad has his phone off the hook I am worried about him. He doesn't take this stuff as lightly as we all do.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Bah, politics. That Hollywood fad will die out in the next five years.

Paul said...

I am glad I am not in Frisco tonight.

This is gonna be a long year to wait till the Yankees take back the crown.

(cries)

Josh S. said...

The Rivalry Rebooted: Next one that wins has the most.

(Eh, we still have the most in the last 50 years.)

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

It's not Lakers-Celtics quite yet.

NicJ said...

but they have they most in the past 20 years.

(cries)

Kyle Baker said...

The difference is that I will get over the political piece in about 3 tenths of a second. It will take 3 lifetimes to get over the Gnats *shivers* win.

Josh S. said...

I noticed a recurring talking point in the Jints post-game interviews: "It wasn't just one guy."

#StillNotOverBarry

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I'm not getting how the Giants disproved Moneyball.

NicJ said...

Giants plan to hand out championship rings opening day on the road in LA.

NicJ said...

you can waste a bunch of money on crappy players and get lucky with a bunch of dudes off the scrap heap. So long as you have dominating starting pitching.

i dont get it.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Moneyball never worked out for the A's in the playoffs. Their pitching always wound up falling apart.

Paul said...

Frank has to take advantage of this win somehow

I am telling you we will be hearing World Champ giants more on the Dodgers commericals than the Giants.

Giants will just have beat la again.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Then again, Moneyball is more about getting to the playoffs, not winning them. October's a crapshoot that follows absolutely no logic. Like Renteria winning the MVP.

NicJ said...

the clippers may not win a game this year.

NicJ said...

well at least this overtakes "The Decision" as the biggest sports debacle of the year.

NicJ said...

Al Horford got $60 million?!?!

fuck i wish i was tall.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Horford's the second-best center in the east, which tells you something about how few true centers there are anymore.

NicJ said...

I like Hibbert better than Horford.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Hibbert gets all the looks because he's 7-2 and his team stinks.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Well, they're better with Collison and a healthy Granger, but still.

Kyle Baker said...

I wish I was a little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl
If I did, I would call her

NicJ said...

i dont know. Horford always seemed a little small for a center. Listed at 6-10 / 245.

whatever the hawks can waste their money on players that will continually not show up in the playoffs.

NicJ said...

i wish i had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a '64 Impala.

NicJ said...

SKEE-LO!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I'll settle for the Impala.

Paul said...

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind

Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy.

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind.

Kyle Baker said...

I do wish I had a six-fo. It would make the Gnats win go down better.

Kyle Baker said...

Hope you're happy, Jints. I'm out of beer so all I have is to sit here and stew while drinking cold sake out of a teacup. I'm a broken man!

NicJ said...

massive rioting in SF right now.

Someone even spilled a Cabernet.

Paul said...

The 2011 Dodgers:

Staring Kerry Wood as Jeff Weaver.

NicJ said...

crap i should probably figure out who/what im voting for tomorrow.

That "tea party" DB mentioned earlier sounded interesting. Maybe i should look into that.

NicJ said...

as long as it is not Jeff Weaver as Jeff Weaver then im cool.

Paul said...

I feel sorry for oakland fans. They are going to choke on the smugness.

Paul said...

Damn Nic you stole my line:

I was gonna say and Jay Gibbons as Jay Gibbons

Oh and Matt Kemp as an actual superstar.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Wood actually pitched admirably in his brief stint with New York.

Paul said...

So we have paid enough for Mickey Hatcher's homeruns now no?

Kyle Baker said...

Lots of tea baggers up north tonight.

Just voted a minute ago. What a useless bunch of dutchbags to choose from.

NicJ said...

i think you mean douche baggers.

No, well maybe you were right.

MR.F said...

(cries)

I'm going to lie down...

NicJ said...

so i get to choose between the lady with the massive forehead and the old dude with eyebrows longer than his head hair.

Lovely, California.

NicJ said...

Jared Dudley got $22.5 Mil??!!??


Not really making a good argument for crying poor during the upcoming CBA, NBA franchise owners.

Kyle Baker said...

No I meant Dutch bag. Long ago meme from a typo Paul had in a comment.

spank said...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Cliff Beefpile said...

Did not...could not watch.




*vomits*

Cliff Beefpile said...

P.S. Goddammit, Kings, if this collection of dingleberries can win a title then you can sure as hell make a run at the Cup!

Josh S. said...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Fred's Brim said...

The 2011 season starts today and I am wearing my Fernando shirt.

Kyle Baker said...

Alright, alright. Time to move on. I'm over it...


.....wait, no I'm not. Not at all.

hate Hate HATE HAAAAAAATE!!!

Request a random bitterness thread, please.

rbnlaw said...

I am as empty as a fart.

spank said...

I was hoping I would not awaken this morning. Should have popped the whole bottle. True Dodger

MR.F said...

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Nice, Josh S.

Kyle Baker said...

I always said Lincecum was a little dickhead.

Nostradamus said...

The existence of the phallic hat oddly makes me feel better about this whole debacle.

Kyle Baker said...

Nothing like a little penis to make Mr C feel better, eh?

Nostradamus said...

A little head always does raise my spirits, I won't lie.

Josh S. said...

That's not all it raises!










It also raises your self-confidence.

Nostradamus said...

I see what you did, there...

Nostradamus said...

Meh. It's polite, but I'm not feeling polite yet.

MR.F said...

All I can hang my hat on right now is to be less of a sore loser than some giants fans are sore winners...

Orel said...

@DB "Request a random bitterness thread, please."

PGTUP!

spank said...

I'm not saying that they should write a hate column. But the Gnats are our rivals and I would just leave it as is. No Words.
