Game 157 Thread: Sept. 22 vs. Giants, 7p

Dan Haren (13-11, 4.14) vs. Jake Peavy (7-13, 3.82).

It's the final countdown! One last homestand to the 2014 season!

And this is the last series we'll have this year with the Giants. And the season series is currently tied 8-8.

If we play our cards right, we'll get a chance to celebrate clinching the division at home, in front of the Giants. All we would need to do is win two of the next three games (which would also award us the season series victory, if my math is right).

Helping our cause will be the absence of center fielder Angel Pagan, out with an inflamed nerve in the lower back, and someone who absolutely kills us when he's in the lineup. Left fielder Michael Morse is also probably out for this series with injury, but all I got were dots and dashes from him.

I also should add that I'm watching today's game from enemy territory (wearing Dodgers shirt and cap). The last Dodgers/Giants game I watched was among friends and family (other Sons).  This time, it won't be so friendly. Let's see what happens.

Good luck, Danny boy!

Fred's Brim said...

dammit, I was hoping this would be Joc's hero moment

Steve Sax said...

Butera is soooooooo slow

spank said...

Catchers suck

Steve Sax said...

Mattingly's strategy: let's keep throwing guys up there who will swing for the fences. This worked in RBI baseball, it will work here.

spank said...

Easy inning. Fuck

Fred's Brim said...

get something going, Dee. Make up for your shit game starting now

Steve Sax said...

@FB: I also thought this was going to be Joc's hero moment. Oh well.

QuadSevens said...

At least Dee didn't hit it in the air this time.

QuadSevens said...

Can we have Greinke pinch hit?

Fred's Brim said...

I hate being pitches behind

spank said...

Dude was safe but that was a great catch

Fred's Brim said...

lose tonight in extras, get shutout by Bumgarner tomomorrow, maybe Clayton wins on Wednesday, we have to wait for the Padres to beat the Giants on Thursday night

Fred's Brim said...

League getting his grounders, just not in the right places

Steve Sax said...

Franklin Stubbs said...

Holy crap, I think I just squeezed a diamond from my arse.

QuadSevens said...

Big bats coming up for us. Gotta put it away!

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

I think Puig just said "FUCK THE GIANTS!" But, I can't be sure

Steve Sax said...

And Puig magic continues. he reaches on an error

spank said...

Puigs on

Steve Sax said...

Come on, AGon

QuadSevens said...

Lets see if AGon ate his Wheaties.

QuadSevens said...

Nope.

We've got to stop swinging for the fences here.

Fred's Brim said...

QuadSevens said...

I'm stuck on MPQ #34 in the gauntlet.

Fred's Brim said...

@Sax 10:43: agreed. It'd be nice to get somebody to second and just hope for a single

Fred's Brim said...

Posey vs the kid? This can't end well

Rookie For Now said...

*makes an offering of cigar and rum to Jobu*

Fred's Brim said...

Posey flies out. It's about time for Sandoval to kill us

Fred's Brim said...

QuadSevens said...

After the most aggravating FF loss EVER (since last year)

spank said...

Bat right,mofos. Win it already.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

I was supposed to have tickets for tonight. Sold them due to work. BEING AN ADULT IS THE WORST.

Fred's Brim said...

@delino: what did you do with the money for the tickets? Go out and buy booze? BEING AN ADULT IS THE BEST!

spank said...

Rubble's on.

Steve Sax said...

@Delino: What is FF loss? Frequent Flier?

Fred's Brim said...

Fred's Brim said...

Steve Sax said...

And there it is. Giants get a go-ahead run. Correia officially sucks donkey.

spank said...

Steve Sax said...

Kevin Correia sucks

Donnie sucks

This is ridiculous.

Steve Sax said...

Well, at least this puts a nail in Donnie's coffin.

I hope.

spank said...

Steve Sax said...

Donnie must go.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...
