Can Roid Man suit up for the Gigantes today?

Bless Your Heart
is Venters in the top10 of more games played by a player this season regardless if pitcher or field player?
LOL!

I’m going with yes.

Falcons might be about to win as well.

What time is the Padres game ? 1pm pacific ?

It’s starting in a few minutes…

1 pm specific. Its specifically at 1pm
I was typing this on the other thread..

About Venters:

Yes, but he hasn’t had a 1,2,3 inning in weeks.

He has pitched well enough for us this year to deserve today off.
IMO of course

Go get him Bobby!

Finish this thing off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWSS…

I was about to do that to start the thread lol

Happy Endings for everyone!
 
(except Whale’s Vagina)

Would you look at that?

An error from the third baseman…..

curse of Chipper Jones

I think we have a serious problem with Jones Curses – CF and 3B…..

The spirit of Bill Buckner is alive and well.

Wags for the 4 out finish
Here comes Wags!
And Hell's coming with him!

We’re not playing around. Let’s go Wags!

Wagner time…also known as BEAST MODE

C’mon Wags!

Wags in for the cheap save.

Falcons win
yep

i dunno if it was u who said it or not…but i told ppl not to freak out quite yet…

OMG!! THEY GOT KILLED!!
Someone do a sanity check for me here....

Did Bobby Cox just do a stupid bullpen management thing followed by a smart bullpen management thing?

Something like that.

Falcons take the lead

Matt Bryant has been clutch

Don’t really care….plus: too slow.

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand

Off to playoff baseball land

Syllabically, that works.

loved that video when it came out

Nothin’ scarier than a big mack truck chasing you.

the strobe effect worked well..

the snakes and the wrinkled old man were also disturbing.

can we have an errorless game?

when was the last time we have an errorless game?

Before the All-Star break….

When the team was the Boston Bees.

Personally, I’d be happy with a game where they just limit it to 1 error that doesn’t cost any runs.

Oh come on where was that pitch???
Question, does post season play go towards "saves" record for Billy?

Nope.

Postseason stats don’t count towards anything. They are their own seperate animal.

not regular season

Thanks everyone – that sucks.

Damn. Errors and overworking Venters ALWAYS bites us.
THIS times eleventy billion
FU Wilson Valdez
WTH was with Valdez celebrating when he hit that??

It’s ok guys…we still have a 3 run lead.

SHUT YER PIEHOLE

I mean…it’s true.

Ok…now it’s not.

let's hope wags can go more than one inning
hell...

let’s hope wags can finish this inning

Praying it stays that way.

I think you need...

to do some asking.

I didn’t trust the 4 run lead with us against the Phillies. I sure as hell don’t trust a 3 run lead……and look at that, now it’s a 1 run lead. DAMN’T ALL TO HELL!!!!

THIS IS ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT!

LEAVE THE THREAD NOW!

I blame Wags. Not much I can do about this game half-way across the world.

Lies….you jinxed the team!

Only if you believe in that stuff.

4 outs before 3 runs. 4 outs before 3 runs. 4 outs before 3 runs. 4 outs before 3 runs.

I would had to see how violent I will get if they can not get the win here...
What is the torrent for the SF game?

st://Az0CgpwEdTUDNQWCoAHIgBaZx/Qyo0YuUxalXKOqhAOYihcGUDJQIFNUikEHZGVmYXVsdIqiBlNwb3J0cw==

another unearned run
Fuck fuck fuck

THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING

Ben Francisco? Seriously? C’mon now.

Are you kidding me???

EPIC FAIL AT END FOR MY panthers and Braves :(
The Braves never make things easy do they ?
STOP this shit NOW
LMAO this is a cruel joke
is this seriously happening

no,no, just fucking no

WHAT THE FVCK!!!
Should we go back to the other thread?

LOL

i was watching the panthers game and see its 7-2

i come back and all the sudden its 8-7…wtf

horrible ending :(

Why did we have to bring out Venters????

 Because obviously DRAMA is required.

Why did we have to put IN Venters?

again…

Well, that’s what I meant.

I wasn’t complaining that we took him out.

I was apparently in error earlier....

Bobby Cox did a stupid bullpen management thing followed by a stupid bullpen management thing. :(

something like that…

THIS IS FUCKING RIDICULOUS....

This is why you dont start acting like you’ve won when there are still outs to get

and all after an error by the 3rd baseman

It really is a curse!

Why are we getting squeezed all of sudden?
We are going to win this game.
New thread fail..............

This is cruel and unusual. God, what did we do

wow

just wow
im so fucking scared

What a choke job!!

Can’t field, can’t pitch, can’t take care of business. Typical Braves Baseball

Double steal... really?
Cmon Wags!!1
INNING OVER!!

STILL WINNING…..

STFD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank god for billy wagner
SIT HIM DOWN CMON WAGS!

i’d like to see bobby punch manuel in the throat after this one

I’d pay money to see that.

Because it’s Manuel’s fault the Braves barely can beat the Phillies’ relief squad.

…with our relief squad…

Their relief squad!? WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? They put our their A+ lineup and pitched THREE SPs!!!

Don't feed the trolls
Thanks.

I almost forgot. Flagging the troll now…

Sorry I chose to disagree with you.

Hamels and Oswalt for 3 innings. Blanton will be riding the pine. And Baez won’t be on the playoff roster.

And Lidge?

Keeping his arm warm, as he needed work. Note his last appearance was 9/29, and before that, 9/24.

Ah. I guess they don’t have these things called bullpens and pitching mounds in Philly?

Only time you can replicate a 1-run game with an adverse crowd is in a 1-run game with an adverse crowd.

But Lidge doesn’t pitch in 1 run games in which the Phillies are losing…keep trying though. Eventually, you will find something.

I also would’ve questioned what the hell the score of a game or the demeanor of the crowd has to do with “keeping an arm warm”….

It’s as close to a “pressure” situation as they can get before the playoffs.

Jesus, are the schools in Atlanta really this bad?

I live in Maryland. I’ve never lived anywhere near Atlanta, actually.

There is absolutely no pressure on Philly at all. They won the divisino. They have the best record in the NL.

Keep digging though…something will turn up…

Exactly, which is why you pitch Lidge in this situation. This is as close as he’ll get to a pressure situation before the playoffs.

Right now, If I take 3 steps to my left, I will be as close as i can possibly get to Hawaii. It doesn’t mean I am close to Hawaii. I am better off just staying right where I am.

And if I had wheels I’d be a wagon.

We clearly differ in opinion as to why a player is used. Nevertheless, go Giants.

Lidge needs some “pressure” experience I guess. It’s not like he’s been a closer for years – including in the playoffs or anything.

They have one game between now and Friday though...

say Roy throws 9 Wednesday, may as well get him at least one game in a week before the playoffs.

Don’t get me wrong, I love having Lidge on the mound…he kinda sucks against Atlanta.

Why in the world does this team have to do this to us

Kimbrel should pitch the 9th... no one else

That’s a lot to ask a guy who has less than 20 innings.

Wagner got his ass!!!

damn this game is bad on the nerves.

The Braves have to make it dramatic... duhhh!
This game/season/team is going to give me a heart attack....
who had the big error this game?

Guess.

If I had to guess my guess would be wrong

KIMBREL FOR 9TH PLZ

If Wagner comes out in the 9th I’m going to kill somebody.

Wagner threw 21 pitches in the 8th.
3 MOAR OUTZ

Somebody get Kmbrel up

or Saito

Not sure I trust Saito in the 9th right now…

This time a billion
how many unearned run we have allowed in this series?
probably 6 for Bobby

i think 8 in the first 2 games.

and all after 2 outs

Gotta score a couple here.

NEED INSURANCE RUNS, NOW!!
Who is gonna pitch the 9th?

No Saito I hope
No Wagner I hope
No Moylan I hope
Kimbrel…but idk if he could handle this situation

c´mon Heyward, HR in your last AB of the regular season, plz
start it like you finish it

THIS!

I wonder, has anyone ever done that? 1st AB HR, last AB HR?

That would be sweet.

Ted Williams?

Pretty safe guess.

I just remmeber he homred his last at bat...

not sure if he did in his first.

We, as a blog, are gonna will this team to victory.

Nothing but positivity from here on out. COME ON BRAVES!!!!!!

Rainbows and unicorns!

Phils have 7 runs on 5 hits..

Lidge pitching

But of course

Because when else to use your closer than down by one on the road in the 8th

It’s the integrity of the game.

Thus we see the true douchebaggery of the Phillies
1 Inning... just 1 inning guys

do it for Bobby

This stealing crap against the Braves this series is really pisses me off

not saying its Bush league or anything, just that it really bothers me

nice start there...
Heyward for ROTY!!!
OK!

its a start for some really needed insurance run(s)

Good start! Insurance time
Hey boys

didnt know if anyone still wanted this

st://Az0CgpwEdTUDNQWCoAHIgBaZx/Qyo0YuUxalXKOqhAOYihcGUDJQIFNUikEHZGVmYXVsdIqiBlNwb3J0cw==

torrent for the giants game.

GO BRAVOS

MLBN will likely show it
Wagner will work the 9th
wags pitching 9th

via 680

I heard it, too. I pray they’re wrong.

Giants just got fucked out of a leadoff double...
he loves those head first slides.....

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK Wagner is going to be in the 9th. We are screwed.

Nice baserunning JHey

Fuck you and your baseball gimmicks, Charlie!

Like playing this game as a spring training game? Bobby should be hugging Charlie.

hahahaah. You Philly fans are so cute.

And incredibly well-behaved. Donovan was greeted nicely today, as he should have been.

YEAH

I’m hearing a ton of boos right now from what I’ve seen

That’s ok, though. That’s “Redskins QB” taking over. During introductions, he got a standing O. That’s respect.

I would expect nothing less.

Good thing you kept those guys who puked on that kid away. That would have been bad ju-ju.

He’s from NJ. Plus, he got a jail sentence, as he should have. You probably missed that art.

I was surprised to see that
If Hamels goes deeper...

we are probably not near 8 runs. At least it seems pretty doubtful consider how he’s been of late.

2 steals in one game for the team

most all year? haha

Cmon D Lee!!!!

WILD PITCH LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Wagner 9th?

Please no Bobby

Why is wags pitching the 9th
Hopefully because we'll have a 5 run lead

Bobby wants to go home

Bobby is screwing with us.

My guess is that it’s because he’s our closer.

Kimbrel

could do it

Craig Kimbrel

not yet the Braves closer.

but can he be?

it’s called a tryout

Who said he will?

Nobody up in the pen.

Maybe a mental thing?

he waits until Billy is out on the field so he doesn’t see him calling for a warm up (that is if you are sending him out to START the 9th).

Also coming up...

Victorino, Schneider, Dobbs (S, L, L). He’s playing matchups. It’s called playing the percentages. It’s what good managers do to win ball games.

Why are you trying to argue with me? I haven’t said a thing except that nobody is up in the pen.

Not arguing

just thinking out loud

Is everything always a fight with you?...

I’m not sure we can be friends if so.

anyone read the SI piece on Wags?

yup

good piece - that makes me want him to pitch the ninth.
Heap drop one down? LOL

3 run bomb here scores Mac.

2 on, no outs.....no GIDPs, plz?
Heap 3-6 with a bomb of Lidge

Are they going to shift McCann?

Not sure why you would bunt on an 0-1 pitch
Always good to see your clean-up hitter try to bunt...
maybe nate will take one for the team

He did in June.
 
Then he came back.

More ugly swings in the dirty by our batters.
D ross for playoffs?
Heyward steals third!

He may help me move up a spot in steals on the last day of the season.

INSURANCE RUNS

PLEASE

Heyward steal again!
And Lee didn't go?

YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND STEAL HOME TOO, J-HEY

STEALING THIRD??!!
Nice!! Heyward to 3rd
Jason! Now fly ball Nate... please.

Getting a lot of use for that image today

Never had to use it his much before.

im in love with heyward
Sac Fly gets a R in

This is assuming McLouth can hit one deep enough.

Like a freight train.
HEYWARD STEALS HOME!

Okay, I’m messing. But it looks like he’s trying to do it all.

WTHell? Showing bunt?

score the runner
JHEY

takes it upon himself…how many steals does he have?

12 on the year 2 today
first one wasn't a SB
Why is diaz still not in?

B/c of Lidge?

at the time we had a big lead and Bobby figured hes give nate more time in LF i imagine

WHAT THE HELL? Yankees being lying bitches again. Posada just faked fouling one off his foot.

He took acting lessons from Jeter.

Nate has a great eye

Unfortunately he can’t hit

I feel the opposite
Nate was Mr. Popfly this year... come on
Just put it in play, good lord
Please hit a grandslam!!!

I don’t want him trying to do that – I want him sending it deep enough to score.

Battle of the closers in the 8th haha
Good at bat Nate!

C’mon Alex, we need you big time here

Bases Loaded

Gonzo…insurance runzzzzz please

oh oh...

my ulcer….

the last person i want to see at the plate right now..............
Please don't K, Gonzo......
Gone-zo grand slam.
fail............................................................
I'm calling DP... sorry
hate u
Sorry. Im BFS. That is typical of Gonzo. He hits in a ton of dp's
what are you doing?!?

GONZO DON’T FAIL PLZ

DAMN'T!!

WORST POSSIBLE OUTCOME!

But most probable. Sadly.

Damn

the thing we didn’t need. Shit

fucking piece of shit

And once again, Alex “OBP” Gonzalez does something wonderful!

OH I GET IT!

Manuel’s gonna let us win this game so he saves his bullpen an extra inning. Smart guy.

yeah thats about right
WOW... GONZO BLOWS!!!!!!!!!!

Saw that DP coming a mile away

Hey Alex... way to suck

Here we go everyone. This is it

Well that made a lot of sense

1 pitch? Unbelievable.

I just don't understand... you will get good pitches..

head, meet desk.

Braves fans, meet Alex Gonzalez.

Yeah Doug, ya told us.

I really hope this doesn't come down to the last AB of the season...
that would be bad

Melky is taking his practice swings.

I’m very scared of Wagner now.

awful - Lets go wags!!

Man, I’m so glad we traded Yunel Escobar. That guy is like way worse than Gonzalez. Demonstrably.

Not the time nor the pace to open up that can of worms again
HE'S DONE A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN YUNEL!

SO be quiet

not really

but i suppose this isn’t the time

why did i knew that would happen....
cause you is awesome?
Wagner staying in the 9th. Kimbrel ready at the first sign of trouble.

Victorino, Schneider, Dobbs due up.

Kimbrel has to get up first
3 outs and no runs... let's get it done boys!!!!
Time to lock it down.

LETS GO!!! WE STILL HAVE THE LEAD!!!

Who's due up?
Victorino, Schneider, Dobbs.
Wags for the four out save.
He is killing me

Completly shit the bed of late Gonzo… I don’;t wanna say it…(he sucks sometimes)

I suppose if we just scored 8 runs to take a 1-run lead we would all be going crazy right now.

If we can just hold them one time, it will be the same.

Let's hope Wagner takes the mound PISSED at that last inning's performance..
he always looks pissed to me... haha
Gonzo would rather be down south chewing sugar cane
Okay. I'm ready to do something else today. Let's make this quick in the 9th

Sounds like the Terminator is back on the mound.

SD - SF scoreless first
Saw ump flinch on that one
Full count....DO NOT WALK THE LEADOFF BATTER!!

DO NOT!

JASON HEYWARD COMMANDS IT!!

I would be surprised if Victorino swings the bat again.

I’m surprised. I figured he’d be looking to walk rather than hit.

Put him away

Wags…we don’t need a walk!!!

j powell fired on on the radio! LOVE IT!
what happened?
Sit yo ass down!!! lol

+100000000000000

I think he disagreed with the ump
Gamecast looks good.
SIT YOUR ASS DOWN DICKTORINO!!
STRIKE THREE CALLED
Got em motherfucker!!!!!!!!!!!!
Victorino showing terrible strike zone awareness
or just being a dick
that's called "being a shane"
Billy! Need 2 more outs

2 more outs to go!!
GET OUT NUMBER TWO NOW WAGS!!!!!!!!!!
Wagner is in kill mode

Keep drilling that zone Wags!

0-2…now dont nibble

OMG Wags is fired up
Sometimes I wonder about Phillies players...

They could probably swing at strike three and still be pissed that it wasn’t a walk.

1 more…COME ON, WAGS!!!

still, that was a good pitch

this is why he pitches the ninth!

STFD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Sit down Schneider!

Leave nothing behind, Billy!

rosenbagger.... 1 more!!!!

This is it Wags! GO GET ’EM!

Get em Wags!!!

Damn he is nasty.

WHY IZ WAGNERZ PITCHING???

because he's still top 10 in the game?

nope, this is pretty stressful stuff no matter how good you are

zAnyone think

he’s got some adrenaline flowing right now? Goodness.

yes yes i'm feeling it now

This radio broadcast is INSANE!!!

C'MON!! ONE MORE STRIKE!!

RAINBOW LLAMASAURUS, I'VE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY TO SEE ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

that is why he pitches the 9th!

YESSSSSS

Now let’s go root for the Gigantes

zzzz

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AGAIN

Love the Bobby chants
We live to play

Another day!!

-C

Where’s Bubb Rubb?

Ok, who wants to turn this into the San* game thread now?
Crowd chanting Bobby
wow 37 pitches for Wagner

has he ever in this season pitch 4 out save?

Nope

first save of more than an inning

In closing,

Best of luck to the Braves, go Giants, and see you nuts in two weeks.

YESSSSSSSSSS. We did it . Playoffs here we come !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yankees 2 outs from spending 200 milion bucks on the wildcard.

Is that all they spent? I thought it was more.

BRAVES PLAY HERE, BITCHES!!!

So do the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs, evidently.

If you don't like it, you can just git out

Now hold on Skeeter, he ain’t hurting anybody!

LETS GO GIGANTES

Absolutely amazing

Braves Games > Cardio workout

Or a defibrillator.

PHUCK PHILLIEs

7 RUNs on 5 Hits.
that is why you shouldnt walk, make error or HBP

jonathan “dirty” sanchez outta trouble in the 2nd

Very odd

The Giants need to win once in their next 3 games to clinch a playoff spot.

I'm so happy for the fans there today.

Great to see Bobby get a final season game WIN!

WOOOOOOOOOOO

Good lord....

…..that looks straight out of Harmony Korine film. Or any ‘Dogme 95’ movie.

1 out to go in Boston.

Brooks Conrad can cover my base any day, is all I’m saying.

He’d miss and fly into the dining room.

and out the window?

Hm. I guess I’’ll just cover his base for a while, then.

I've got the San* game on now....

GO GIANTS!!!!

BRAVES WIN

HUZZAH!!!

Wow!

What an emotional rollercoaster of an game! Lets go Giants, CRUSH the Padres!

We need the Giants to be Latos intolerant today!

Nyuk nyuk nyuk.

Will there be a Giants/Padres thread??
Right here.

We’re just gonna keep this one going.

Hooray! Season is not over yet!!!

would much rather the next game is on Wednesday than Tuesday.

Come on Giants!

Thursday. There is no game on Wednesday in any situation.

Unless the Padres end up with the WC,

Ummm…..no, there’s no game on Wednesday in any situation – for the Braves, Padres or Giants.

Not true

Phils open NLDS on Wed.

Phillies are playing Cincy, though.

Unless Pads win WC

Bah…you got me on that one.

Wow. That would SUCK for the Padres. They’d have to play the Giants on Monday, the Braves on Tuesday and then the Phillies on Wednesday – three different states in three days. They’d get slaughtered.

or they could do us all a favor and lose today

So, what you are saying is that no baseball will be played on Wednesday.

What if the Braves win the WC outright?

Then it’d be Braves/Giants on Thursday.

that’s good to know…
I am going to be in the Bay Area next week for a meeting…going to be very tempting to ditch the meeting to go see the Braves

Padres win today, they play SF on Monday in San Diego. If they lose, they play Atl on Tues. If they beat the Braves, they play Philly on Wed.

Yes!

So glad to see it!

torrent i have is of bo sox/ yanks

This evens out with my Panthers losing. Go BRAVES. ( And Giants )

0-0 BOT 2nd, in SF

go giants go!

0-0 end of 2 in Kalifornia.

Any non-torrent streams for Pads-Giants?

No...

There’s no such thing as a non-torrent stream, AFAIK.

I watch non-torrent streams of football games all the time.

But do you watch them of baseball games? I haven’t seen one of a Braves game all season.

I have on MVPCast, and some on ATDHE

Are they flash based?

No, don't think so.

They just play in a media player.

MLBN would be a non-torrent stream. ;)

That’s television, though.

Just a different form of streaming.

True enough, especially since television in general is moving to an IP based system.

justin.tv usually has streams. and there are other flash based streams floating out there...
now, this is the PAdres Giants threaD?

Unless you want to go to their SBN sites.

Latos looks like Jurrjens lately.

All his pitches are up. He can’t get anything down. It’s only a matter of time before he gets smashed.

Wait……what? JJ hasn’t pitched in a couple weeks.

Just dropped by to say

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I just called, to say, I love you

Cool, they're putting the Giants game on the Jumbotron for the fans
I'm more worried than happy.

I wish I could just enjoy this.

enjoy

you should just enjoy it for the rest of the day.

worrying cannot change anything. braves did their part, now it’s time for giants to man up.

my problem is...

The Braves only sort of did their part. They barely clung to life against the Phils’ C lineup and middle relievers. It feels like we didn’t deserve this game.

lol eagles losing

wow when I say 8-7 on the box score I first though the Phillies win, I almost die right there, phew!

come on Giants finish them off for once lets go Giants the Bravos deserve this bobby deserves one last run GO BRAVES!!!!

my boy Sanchez!! come on!!

c´mon Padres

you dont want to travel back to San Diego to play tomorrow and then go to Atlanta to play on Tuesday

YANKEES LOSE!

rays?

Tied, but they are the AL East champs.

Tied with KC that is.

Not if they lose….

Yes. The Yankees HAD to win and TB had to lose for NY to win the division.

Oh? I thought they were tied for the division coming into today.

They were, but TB had the better record so they get the division in the event of a tie.

Better record against NY. 10-8.

That makes no sense...

Why no tie breaker game?

Because they both make the playoffs no matter what.

I take it the Padres/Giants would be decided the same way if not for the Braves?

no Rays got h2h vs. the Yanks

so they clinched AL East with Yankee’s loss

Headline on MLB.com

Rays clinch AL east, homefield advantage.

They had the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Yankees.

Why wouldn’t they have to play a tiebreaker game like the Giants/Padres?

Since they both make the playoffs

I assume the rule is to save pitching.

1 out, runner advances to 2nd
2 out, runner advances to 3rd
MICHAEL VICK HURT
wrong thread haha

Mauled by rabid dogs on the field?

sandwiched between two men

Must remind him of prison.

shit shit shit shit

he is on my fantasy team

is it serious?
Yeah, is it serious?

Vick is my favorite player

You must be a dog person
What do you mean I must be a dog person?
Oh, nothing

Yeah, I thought you was making slick remark that I approve of dog fighting or something like that (which I don’t approve of).

Seriously?

You don’t get that joke and Vick is your favorite player?

Yes

Kolb in

what's the deal with these former cardinals hitters

Ludwick strikes out a lot.

Ankiel.. well he of course has more K’s than hits..

we'll see about Pujols when he is with us:)
OK

So now that our game is over, here’s what I got:

If the Giants win, we go to SF on Thursday, Lincecum v Lowe.

If the Pads win, Lincecum v C. Young in SD tomorrow. Winner of that game comes out to ATL to face Lowe on Tuesday. If it’s SF, it’s Bumgarner v Lowe. If it’s SD, it’s Garland v. Lowe.

I think.

have some team ever played 164 games in a regular season?
never have been a 3 way tie before

so I would say no

Don’t want to see that this year either

No.

It’s never happened.

Wow, nice catch by S Hairston
kung fu panda needs more mojo

but jonathan sanchez somehow gets a triple

OMG triple by Chez

STANDUP TRIPLE

triple by J Sanchez

wow

1 out

Torres is up to drive him in

Holy shit, that almost a bomb by the Panda.

buahaha Sanchez!! hell fucking yes!

Torres up, 1 out infield in
no LOBster for Giants today

only RIBs

Latos throwing meatballs

91 mph FB right in the middle of the plate

Gravy or marinara-covered?

Turkey meatballs

w/ mustard sauce

c'mon torres

drive that boy in.. who apparently almost missed 1st base on the way to the triple LOL

his 1st triple of his career?
Damn't Torres.....striking out :(
come on Giants!

win today so I can loathe you later this week

Ha ha, awesome
Sick

Nice pitch

Crap — come on Sanchez

Anyone watching Braves Live?

Bobby said if he didn’t put Wagner in the 9th, we would have to get a new manager because he’d be dead.

c'mon freddy sanchez

help another sanchez out..

yesss

the sanchez connection!

crap, the PuertoRican duo couldn’t do it

YES!!! 1-0 Giants!!!
YES!!! 1-0 Giants!!!

1-0 Giants!!!!!!

yeah giants!

Keep the runs coming San Fran!
aubrey huff

yes…. that’s the way to hit a double..

didn’t care too much for the virtual butt-slap motion for the celebration.. come up with better celebration

LOL... yeah, what was that?

Let’s go Posey! Keep it going!

Rookie of the Year! Rookie of the Year! Rook……oh wait.

I liked that guy leaning over the fence like he had a shot at getting that ball.

Come on, Posey, Pockets Full Of

If Posey goes yard here I won't even feel that bad if he takes ROTY from Heyward
Let's not get too excited, guys.

Remember what happened to the other team that went up 2-0 earlier today :)

yes you are right

but then again this is the padres line-up.. the only one i wouldn’t be afraid of facing for the braves

So the AL playoffs are:
 
Texas @ Tampa
NY Yankees @ Minnesota
 
Setting up a Yankees @ Tampa ALCS.

No doubt…

I’m kind of glad. The Yankees will make the moron Twins fans shut the hell up.

hell no

Tampa @ Minnesota

That couldn’t happen. Tampa had a better record.

then Minnesota @ Tampa

disagree

Twins beat the Yankees IMO

The Twins

have not beat the Yankees in eons. It isn’t going to happen. Especially with no Morneau.

I’d still kill for a Braves/Twins WS…..

You’d be able to watch all the games in jail too, in all probability.

Pffftttt.....jail is for people who get caught.

Besides, just think about it: Braves win WS against the Twins in Game 7, by a score of 1-0. That’s how Bobby goes out.

Yeah

I actually root for the Twins the AL, but I think they have some kind of mental block against the Yankees. They had the Kubel GS against Rivera earlier this year, but mostly, they just can’t beat them.

anyways

I’m rooting for the Rangers if the Braves get eliminated

You mean the Atlanta Braves III?

a better name would be

Atlanta Braves – Teixeira Edition

I can see the Twins beat the Yankees with home field

it’s a toss up in my opinion

in a universe no one cares about

washington national and new york mets playing in the top of 14th with oliver perez pitching

Like our season ending marathon last year.

the Jerry Manuel era continues…ever so briefly

Would be funny if the Mets end up w/another 20 inning game
nats scored a run

ollie perez out, pat misch in…

ah, the sadistic pleasure of seeing mets suck will have to wait for few months..

Man, Hudson's got beautiful eyes.

I was thinking that same thing.
And a nice shaped head.

Too bad he went balding so young.

I don’t mind it at all.

Not a lot of guys can pull the look off, but Hudson wears it very well.

Man, Hudson's got beautiful eyes.

Worth repeating, obviously.

They’re not as calm as Jeter’s though.

Who's happy to see me?!

Your mom, I’d guess.

booooooooooooo that was a strike

Did the umpire for the Braves series teleport to SF for the start of this game???

I wish he had called it,

but I don’t think it ever had the plate.

Wasn’t even close to strike 3.
 
What game are you watching?

BTW, they are discussing the Giants/Padres on the recap thread too.
Bold prediction: The Reds beat the Phillies 3-2 in the NLDS

They’ve got the bats to go toe to toe with the Phillies.

For those wondering...

Tim McClelland is the home plate umpire for the Padres/Giants.

SF 2-0 SD MID 4TH
Man on 1st for the Giants
Vick still out
on ESPN

Pads batting in the top of 9th

wild card is ours!!

:o)

Watch out Philly. We may not be done yet.
