Game 159 Thread: Sept. 24 vs. Giants, 7p

Why this card has two extra corner markings, I'm not sure

Clayton Kershaw (20-3, 1.80) vs. Tim Hudson (9-12, 3.52).

There are rumors buzzing that Tim Hudson, coming off of three straight losses and wielding the highest ERA (9.92) this month among any pitcher with 15+ innings, will be replaced at the last second with Tim Lincecum. It won't matter. Clayton Kershaw is positioned to have the Dodgers clinch the 2014 NL West tonight, and if there's ever a time to deal an ace, it's now.

How great would it be to have the Dodgers celebrate at home in front of their arch-rival? How fitting would it be to have our franchise face, en route to his third Cy Young Award and possibly a NL MVP award, earn the clinching victory? How premature are all of these visions, now that we've just evidenced that aces are far from infallible?

Who knows. Look, there's a chance that the Giants could be celebrating this evening as well, if the Brewers lose in Cincinnati, thereby giving San Francisco a back-door entrance to the Wild Card. Perhaps we'll have a joint party involving both teams!

No cake for parties 3 and 4? I'm confused again

On second thought, this just looks way too confusing. Let's just focus on getting our party set, okay?

Steve Sax said...

Giants hit Crawford. They have no class.

Paul said...

Uribear grand slam.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Ooof. At least there was that elbow guard there.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Fuck. I was just thinking about how Matty needed to shut the fuck up after his, "We're a lot healthier than last year" interview yesterday. Please be OK, Kemp and Crawford.

Paul said...

Flea tweeting shit about the Giants. I'm happy.

rbnlaw said...

Really would like this inning to be over.

rbnlaw said...

Early word on Kemp:

WE ARE SOOOO FUCKED!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!

Fred's Brim said...

Uribe just misses again

spank said...

Steve Sax said...

Uribe!!! 2-run RBI

7-1

rbnlaw said...

Is this lead safe enough for Wilson???

Cliff Beefpile said...

Jazz Hands!

Paul said...

I'm holding my breath everytime these injury prone duds run the bases.

Fred's Brim said...

URIBE cashes in some Wilsons!

Fred's Brim said...

7-1 good guys!

Paul said...

Dudes not duds

Steve Sax said...

Bubble machines in the crowd!

Honestly I don't understand why the stadium doesn't sell bubbles. But maybe they do now

Franklin Stubbs said...

Ok, I feel better now.

Paul said...

8-1!

rbnlaw said...

235!

spank said...

I THINK WE NEED MORE RUNS

Fred's Brim said...

nice hustle, AJ!

rbnlaw said...

Who's this guy?

Fred's Brim said...

there was Matty in the dugout

Paul said...

Well at least he is alive.

QuadSevens said...

Dre with the green light on 3-0 fouls it off.

spank said...

ALL THAT FACIAL HAIR IN THE DUGOUT AND NOT ONE FU MANCHU

QuadSevens said...

And works the walk.

rbnlaw said...

I remember back in the good ol' days when this inning began.

Paul said...

Don't hit a homerun run Barney...save it for the Fall Classic.

spank said...

CHARLES RUBBLE

Greg said...

Pavo and Wilson were warming.

rbnlaw said...

Go home Gnats, you're drunk.

Greg said...

"Paco"

Paul said...

Larry King must be on meth to still be awake.

rbnlaw said...

25 minutes have elapsed since Kershaw retired the Gnats in the top of the inning.


I was soooo much younger then.

QuadSevens said...

Barney walks too. Rancho ardiendo!

Steve Sax said...

"This is all kinds of ugly for the Giants." --ESPN

Greg said...

Pubes is crying I think.

Steve Sax said...

I think the Giants are trying to set up to hit Puig.

Paul said...

Ok Puig. Get it.

Steve Sax said...

Please don't hit Puig.

And, he throws inside.

rbnlaw said...

ON the replay, Puig flipped his bat on the HR.


Madison Bumgarner immediately kicked a water cooler.

Fred's Brim said...

@Paul can I get what Larry's on?

Paul said...

2-0. Lock in.

spank said...

WE NEEDS TO BEAN SOMEONE DURING THE 9TH

Greg said...

Apparently, a man named "C.Heston" is warming for the Gnats.

Paul said...

@FB

Page Spanky.

rbnlaw said...

My champagne is getting realllly cold.

QuadSevens said...

Puig walks and gets an RBI.

Paul said...

Zzzzzzzzz

Steve Sax said...

Walks in a run; 9-1, this half-inning has gone 30 minutes and I've grown facial hair

karina said...

I am deeply pleased by this Gutiérrez?Giants meltdown

spank said...

ORALE. PINCHE PAUL. HAHA

rbnlaw said...

An Amber Alert has been issued by the Gnats for the strike zone. Last seen by a Gnat pitcher about an hour ago.

Seen leaving the DS parking lot in a beat-up charter bus heading north.

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Giants are trying to kill our party momentum. Hang in there peeps, were almost there!

Fred's Brim said...

Is this the Giants' way of keeping us from celebrating in front of them?

Orel said...

Did I miss anything?

Fred's Brim said...

@Orel Puig is a hothead

Steve Sax said...

here comes the beard. 9-1 LA

rbnlaw said...

It's Wilson time!!!!!!

rbnlaw said...

I fear the beard, for the record.

Fred's Brim said...

can Wilson focus with a 9-run lead?

QuadSevens said...

Watching Wilson celebrate on the mound is going to crush the Gnats. I love it.

Steve Sax said...

Dude, get your damn clothes off the tradmill, and maybe you'd use it more. Screw Dr. Scholl's.

Fred's Brim said...

Can I focus with the prospect of spank being nekkid in 3 outs?

rbnlaw said...

Fucking trial lawyers. Evil, I tells ye!

Steve Sax said...

Acura TLX, for all of you who go to parties with giant animal heads on you

Steve Sax said...

How sweet would it be if Wilson just hit a Giant here

in the nuts

Steve Sax said...

Nice showing tonight in the GT. You'd think this was a special occasion or something.

Fred's Brim said...

So Wilson has a beard now?

rbnlaw said...

Sure, squeeze the zone in the 9th

Paul said...

Come on Wilson crank it up.

Steve Sax said...

Wilson gets roped on his first batter. Ouch.

rbnlaw said...

Da fuq

spank said...

SO IT BEGINS

Steve Sax said...

Look, Wilson, if you've going to be ineffective, at least hit a Giant

Fred's Brim said...

@Saxy the TLX has special cameras to help drivers who wear animal masks while driving

karina said...

2 more outs people!

Steve Sax said...

Wow, Rojas just pulled a Hanley Ramirez impression there with those double-clutches

rbnlaw said...

Rojas handcuffed, stays with it.


I drink a little more

Orel said...

One down

Paul said...

I thought an alien was comming out of Rojas' stomach.

spank said...

GOT MY SOCKS OFF

Orel said...

Brewers won so Giants don't clinch a postseason spot, right?

Fred's Brim said...

Hanley left his magic hair grease at short, Rojas double clutches but still gets the out

rbnlaw said...

IN fairness, Fairchild has his head up his ass with this 9th inning zone

Fred's Brim said...

Wilson fired up, I assume with the strike zone

rbnlaw said...

Inconsistency, thy name is Fairchild

Paul said...

One more baby!!

rbnlaw said...

1 to go.

spank said...

GOT MY SHIRT OFF

Fred's Brim said...

and that's a strike? who the hell knows anymore

Orel said...

Wockeen R-I-S flies out

rbnlaw said...

Beer status: READY, BISHES!

Franklin Stubbs said...

spank said...

MATTY DRE AND HANLEY. NO CELEBRATING. STAY ON THE BENCH PLEASE

rbnlaw said...

21-3 after missing 5 starts?



Yeah, he's OK.

Delino DeShields, Sr said...

I think the Armless Mattingly Bobblehead must become our spirit animal for the rest of the season!

spank said...

ESPN announcers sound like someone died.

karina said...

West was won, home field advantage is secured, TIME TO CELEBRATE!

Nobody wants to leave the stadium. Can't say I blame them.

rbnlaw said...

Past my bedtime.

rbnlaw said...

PGT has been delayed in order to make party.

QuadSevens said...

Victory lap looks like a lot of fun.

QuadSevens said...

Clubhouse champagne celebration and interviews are fun. Alana Rizzo had beer dumped on her by Ryu during an interview with HanRam. Good stuff.

QuadSevens said...

After about 5 interviews she finally put on her goggles. Rookie.

QuadSevens said...

Beckett was there celebrating too. Good stuff.

QuadSevens said...

Dre says he's ok with the role he's been asked to play. It's his fifth time being in the playoffs with the dodgers and he is happy to do whatever it takes to win a championship. Orel actually was choked up by that interview.

QuadSevens said...

Bed time here. Sweet dreams all.
