Post-Game 157 Thread: Missed Opportunities

GIANTS 5, DODGERS 2 (13)

Kevin Correia sucks. That much is clear.

But the only reason why we had to see Kevin Correia in the first place is because we wasted an opportunity in the 11th inning when Matt Kemp GIDPd, and then another in the 12th inning when Juan Uribe GIDPd. You bring in Kevin Correia, after walking a tightrope with Brandon League for two innings, and you are playing not only with fire but also with gasoline and lighter fluid and a bunch of other flammable items that would terrify me otherwise. Maybe Donnie had no other moves; maybe he just loves playing Russian Roulette to begin with. What a fucking disaster.

The worst part was, in watching this game, I saw Dodger after Dodger swing for the fences in extra innings, instead of trying to score like we scored all game--getting some runners on base and trying to move them over on the occasional XBH. And as a result, we looked idiotic flying out to Hunter Pence and such. Whatever.

Lead shrinks to three and a half; magic number sticks at 3. The Giants are still alive. They outhit us 12 to 4, and we had three errors to boot, so we didn't deserve to win this game. But damn, we should have won. We should be embarrassed.

Guessing they back into the NL West championship when Cashner beats the Giants on Thursday.

I went to bed right before Correia came in. I didn't know he was coming in, but somehow I "knew"

Dropping balls all over God's green outfield doesn't help either! WTF? Kemp and Puig need to find some way to communicate out there.

This game should've been closed out in the 9th by a final score of 2-1. Shoulda, coulda, woulda.
