That is not a good ump, Nico
I’m not letting it go, not only was the transfer a joke the player was a yard off the bag.
How much for that call? $1,000?
Or is it drugs?

needs to get tossed arguing that call, that was the worst call of the year I’ve seen in any game this year, on the bases anyway.
Other than that , this offense is just the most epic, pathetic fail in human history, against Lincecum or against yer grandma, it doesn’t matter. We make every pitcher we face look dominant and there’s no way around the reality that if any of us did a worse job than some of these hitters at whatever we do, we would simply not have jobs, period.
Hey, I just bought the team from Lew Wolff... who wants to play third?
That should be my recap ;-)

We could have a Lincecum complete game
with 13 LOB???
That’s got to be close to some sort of record
Of course we will.
It’s the Giants, they’re going to wreck the shit out of Lincecum by the time he’s 27.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
So he's got a good 25 left.

Perfect analogy.
Because that blue balls line is bullshit, too. Guys are always whining, “Oh, it’s such torture, it’s so unfair.” But seriously, you’re actually claiming that you wish you’d just stayed home and watched TV rather than spent two and a half hours making out? Bullshit.

A few thoughts
1) We should probably bench Cust against Lincecum in the future. I know that sounds stupid, but Cust is truly over-matched by Lincecum and besides if in future games we ever get Lincecum out of the game we could pinch hit Cust in a high-leverage situation should one be available.
2) That inning by Casilla looked really good on gameday. Great pitch location and serious velocity. I think he is coming out of it.
3) What was the missed call that happened early in the game?
I miss Chad God
The runner was safe at second and he was called out.

Mets seem like a perfect team to trade Holliday to,
but they don’t really have a ML ready 3Bman – Wilmer Flores is 17 yo – unless Murphy is seen as good enough to be a “3Bman of the future.” Seems like the time for the Mets to make that trade is NOW, when Beltran is out and when they could have Holliday for 3+ months.

I think that's what it would take
No one else is really worth dealing Holliday to get. I can see trading Holliday to the Cards to get Wallace, even if many on AN don’t agree.
I’m keen on Todd Frazier (Reds), but that’s not a Holliday deal, and on Jason Donald (Phillies), but they want established pitchers.

Don't they have "F-Mart"?
I don’t even know who that is, but 3Bman fetish is my newest vice. And the Mets:
1. Can afford to re-sign Holliday long term
2. need the bat
3. NY seems like the type of place where Matt wants to play
4. Shef will inevitably break down, sooner rather than later
Maybe if we throw in Crosby and Springer, they’ll part with Wright (and Reyes, for that matter, if we give them O-Cab)

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
None of us can see it...

Fuck the slegnA
My hatred for the gnats is surpassed only by my disgust for all things slegnA

That was so predictable
Full meltdown by Stewart who looked at 2nd, double clutched and missed the runner by an inch then Figgins bunted and the pitche through too late to third.
I hate the slegnA.
...now if he was at the game tonight...

Hey, it was soooooo nice of the A’s to let the Giants throw a party at their house tonight.
