Game 136 Thread: Sept. 6 @ Padres, 1p

Brett Anderson (8-8, 3.43) vs. Andrew Cashner (5-13, 4.15).

7 1/2 games up with 27 games to play seems pretty good (it's the biggest division lead in the National League, and the second-biggest lead in the majors, only to KC). But +19 over .500, our season-high, still could sound a lot better if we could stretch it to +20 (and hopefully gain a game in the process). The Giants' playoff odds are down to 2.6%, but even stranger than that is that the Dodgers (whose playoff odds are 98.6%) have the best World Series winning percentage odds, across the majors (at 17.7%). Am I getting too excited here? Brett Anderson can either bring me back to reality, or show us how rosy the end of the season might be.

2 walks and JT HBP has bases RA for Dre.

Sac fly for Dre, CC scores. 1-0 Blue

karen said...

Anderson pretty much sucking to start. madres on 1st and 3rd with 2 out.

karen said...

After loading the bases Anderson gets out of it...1-0 Blue going to 2.

Dusty Baker said...

Watching Serena before I switch over to Dodgers game. Was Anderson shaky in the first?

karen said...

Dust...Yeah and Cashner is even worse. This may be one of those games...I didn't know Serena was playing, I'll check it out. I'm still in mourning over Nadal the other night...

karen said...

Dusty...Do you know when Federer is playing?

karen said...

Serena meeting Venus in the quarters. Those girls are awesome.

karen said...

Gyorko solos. Tied at 1.

karen said...

Pubes took time off from shattering the ideals of 12 yea olds to hit a solo and tie game with Rox 2-2.

^year

Orel said...

It's only the 4th inning?

Dusty Baker said...

That was one giant shit sandwich of an inning. AGon was right that the ump fucked up what should have been 3-1 count.

Dusty Baker said...

@MKW

Fed plays tomorrow.

karen said...

Thanks Dust

Steve Sax said...

Can someone explain to me why Jimmy Rollins was thrown out trying to steal third, to end the top of the fifth?

Is this his Matt Kemp impression or something?

Steve Sax said...

2-1, B6

Steve Sax said...

SF jumps out to a 7-2 lead in Colorado, fifth inning

Steve Sax said...

Anderson allows a two-out walk and then a two-out single. Tw on.

Steve Sax said...

And, now Anderson is being looked at for his leg.

karen said...

Anderson hurt, leaving the game...

Steve Sax said...

I think Anderson just got pulled?

Steve Sax said...

Yep, here comes Howell. Anderson grimacing in the dugout.

karen said...

Great play by JRoll saves at least tying run from scoring...

Steve Sax said...

Sharp-hit ball deflects off of Seager's glove, but goes right to Rollins, who rockets the throw to A-Gon for the third out! Nice play!

Howell is PUMPED

Steve Sax said...

I think the Giants pitcher is named Mateo, but I can't tell because of the Camo. Nevertheless, he plunks Schebler on the knee.

Schebler is one squat dude.

Steve Sax said...

Rollins, with a force-out.

Seriously, Rollins needs to do some lifting or something, his hits off the bat are getting Offerman-like.

Steve Sax said...

@karen, what's going on? How are you?

Steve Sax said...

Mateo floors CC with an inside pitch. this guy is WILD

karen said...

Hey Saxy...Pretty good. How 'bout you? Are you on this part of the planet?

Steve Sax said...

two on, two out for JT

Steve Sax said...

SD goes with Vincent instead of Mateo

Steve Sax said...

JT singles, Rancho Ardiendo

spank said...

Steve Sax said...

501! I have to see that Ethier play + 3-run scoring error

Steve Sax said...

^5-1

Steve Sax said...

5-1, end of a fun T7

Steve Sax said...

Giants' lead slims to 7-4, in the seventh

Steve Sax said...

they need to post this highlight, I'm going nuts

Steve Sax said...

Amarista reaches on a deflected comebacker, and now he gets to second on an Ellis PB.

Not good, guys

Steve Sax said...

Avilan escapes. 5-1 through 7

Steve Sax said...

12-pitch JT AB, but he strikes out with a man on first. One out, T9

Steve Sax said...

how come there's no talk of shadows????!!!!

Pitcher's mound is in sun, home plate in shadows. Must be a disaster out there

Steve Sax said...

two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Baez pitching

Steve Sax said...

We win! Three of four from SD. 7.5 game lead remains!
