Game 104 Thread: July 25 @ Giants, 7p

Zack Greinke (11-6, 2.90) vs. Tim Lincecum (9-6, 3.65).

"There's never any controversy or distractions around a Bochy team. They just play hardball," writes Richard Justice at MLB.com. Look, we get it. The Giants have chemistry, magic bat-splintering googly-eyed aliens, and Chardonnay. They turn fool's gold into MelkyScutaroHudson. They are the Littlest $154-Million-Payroll Team That Could.

That would make the Dodgers the bad guys, and tonight the bad guys are starting Greinke in the type of game they are paying him $147 million to win. Not give-his-team-a-chance win, but terminate-with-extreme-prejudice win. Zack will be with the services of a hobbled Hanley Ramirez, thanks to the plunk-happy Cardinals pitching staff, and Yasiel Puig will be able to don his Superman tights tonight. The bullpen? Stuck on Krypton.

Greinke-Kershaw-Ryu. It's the best the Dodgers have to offer against the grittiest team in the NL West. Let's keep it clean, and no hits below the Belt!

Dusty Baker said...

I like experimenting in the outfield. With LSD.

karen said...

Manager formerly known as 'Donnie Baseball' down playing this series.

Yeah, Don. You've always been one of the better motivating managers in the bigs.

Douche.

Sweet shit-sucking jesus those Gnats unis are hideous. Just caught a glimpse on MLB Network. Screw Gaza, bomb the Gnats' dugout.

This is so much fun watching the dirty haired one circle the drain. 5 straight hits for the Blue, 4-nada.

Holy cow. Ran some errands, then came back to find Timmah chased and the good guys up 6-0 on about twenty triples. Whoo hoo!!!

Paul said...

Are we having fun yet?

Dusty Baker said...

Are you Brazil in disguise, Gnats?

Can we play you every week, Timmeh?!?!

karen said...

THIRD triple for Yasiel!! 7-nada, Dodgers.

spank said...

I want to have Puig's babies.

Paul said...

Triple triple?? Only in Uribe's best dream.

karen said...

Spank...Love the reference to Ray Rice. Lets get a bunch of great big, giant mofos to slap the snot out of that prick.

Orel said...

TRIPLE TRIPLE

Dusty Baker said...

We have these assholes bent over the barrel tonight.

spank said...

For reals,Karen. Someone needs to put the hurt on that piece of shit.

Steve Sax said...

11TB for Puig, without a HR no less. Wow

karen said...

Diablo Pagan on the DL because he's out collecting more innocent souls.

Steve Sax said...

10Ks for Greinke through seven. Wow.

Steve Sax said...

Puig due up in the eighth. Let's do this

Steve Sax said...

"Look at Posey looking up at [Puig], as if to say, 'You are a wonder'." --Vin

Steve Sax said...

Giants fans chanting "Home Run Derby" at Puig. And Puig has 11 TB against them tonight.

Steve Sax said...

Puig hits a deep one to center, but it's a fly out. Ethier tags and advances from second to third.

One out in the eighth.

Steve Sax said...

A-Gon fly ball to left, but not deep enough to score Ethier.

Hideo Nomo said...

This game is awesome, but it's about to be shit on by a Chris Perez appearance.

Steve Sax said...

HanRam joins the fun. Single scores Ethier, it's 8-0 LA.

Steve Sax said...

@Gnomes 10:07p: That's why we needed that eighth run: b/c Perez is coming in

Steve Sax said...

TV broadcast, and Vin, talking about the seagulls descending on PacBell Park, the world's largest bird shitfest

Steve Sax said...

Lots of empty seats there at the Giants' park.

Here come the seagulls.

Hideo Nomo said...

Heeeere come the pretzels!

Steve Sax said...

Romo up in the giants' "pen"

karen said...

Maholm.

Enough said.

Steve Sax said...

maholm is such a train wreck

Steve Sax said...

"So Maholm might have gotten away with something there" (bases loaded called strike three for the second out in the ninth.)

Next pitch is a RBI single for the Giants.

karen said...

So much for the shutout.

Steve Sax said...

fucking Kenley Jansen has to get up now. Thanks a lot Paul

karen said...

Foam Time.

Haven't said that in awhile.

Steve Sax said...

PGT up!
