angelsfan7 - October 31, 2010
did mccarver seriously say torres was out at first?
clover_black - October 31, 2010
would have been had Kinsler not had to get the ball where he did
angelsfan7 - October 31, 2010
hey folks.
Yeah, baseball!

I have to admit that Big Game Hunter sounds better than Big Game Bumgarner
Suboptimal - October 31, 2010
Every team has a Bumgarner, statistically...

Cowboys Reference #1 of the night
~MMP~ - October 31, 2010
Go Giants
Let’s see two SF wins today
UK Halo - October 31, 2010
Hey, the crowd is already waving the white flag
Go Giants.
angelslogic - October 31, 2010
Ya, I've never understood that white flag thing.
To me, it’s always meant surrender, giving up.
LanaBanana - October 31, 2010
Exactly
angelslogic - October 31, 2010
problem with other colors
they get lost visually with the whole stadium waving them – Angels had red rally towels one year (2003) and the whole stadium waving them didn’t even register, visually, in the least.
Rev Halofan - October 31, 2010
Washington runs out, beckoned by the white lines
UK Halo - October 31, 2010

Hunter leaving pitches up over the plate
But Renteria not doing anything with it.
Fan Since 1981 - October 31, 2010
"Edgar Renteria has had the most distinguished career of any Giants regular by far. Really, that's how bad their lineup is."
Matt Welch on Twitter
UK Halo - October 31, 2010
Snort with the catch.
Fan Since 1981 - October 31, 2010
ah damn
i thought that was going to drop for sure
Rev Halofan - October 31, 2010
Remember when we used to have center fielders...?
UK Halo - October 31, 2010
Bourjos would not even have had to dove for that
He would have walked to it and yawned with glove at his wrist while he scoped babes inthe stands.
Rev Halofan - October 31, 2010
True
All we need from him now is the 30+ HR’s…
UK Halo - October 31, 2010
why?
Left Fielders, Right Fielders, 3rd Base, 1st Base is where the power needs to be.
ryanfea - October 31, 2010
I was referring to the Hamilton comparison
UK Halo - October 31, 2010
Kinsler being a suck
Fan Since 1981 - October 31, 2010
Strike zone suffering some shrinkage
angelslogic - October 31, 2010
Nice catch by Sanchez.
Fan Since 1981 - October 31, 2010
NICE catch
angelsfan7 - October 31, 2010
This strikezone is annoying.
Oh and nice catch by Sanchez
~MMP~ - October 31, 2010
Yes; 2nd pitch was a strike. 5th pitch (same location) was called a ball.
Fan Since 1981 - October 31, 2010
I wanna be a SNOWCONE for Halloween
Rev Halofan - October 31, 2010
I went to my first ever US football game today
It wasn’t bad at all
UK Halo - October 31, 2010
Only 85 on the fastball.
Hoe does Hunter get away with that?
Fan Since 1981 - October 31, 2010
60 mph change-up?
angelslogic - October 31, 2010
Why the hell is Sanchez trying to bunt?
SOTH!!!!
Fan Since 1981 - October 31, 2010
He thinks he's J Sanchez
UK Halo - October 31, 2010
100 pitches through 3 innings?
UK Halo - October 31, 2010
YES
UK Halo - October 31, 2010
That's more like it!
Fan Since 1981 - October 31, 2010
HUFF!
~MMP~ - October 31, 2010

UK Halo - October 31, 2010
YES
angelsfan7 - October 31, 2010
Not a strike.
Fan Since 1981 - October 31, 2010
Adjectives to describe tonight's strike zone:
Nomadic, transient, floating, interpretive, vascillating, irregular,….
angelslogic - October 31, 2010
This strike zone is as fickle as hell.
cardinalwraith - October 31, 2010
I have Rick Sutcliffe going "That's not a strike" every three pitches
UK Halo - October 31, 2010
tell him to shut up
angelsfan7 - October 31, 2010
My TV is one way
Although having him and Gary Thorne is way better than the clowns you have
UK Halo - October 31, 2010
I never like listen to Joe Buck - at least it isn't the yankees playing though
He is so aweful when it’s the yankees
angelsfan7 - October 31, 2010
it's not like he's wrong though...
cardinalwraith - October 31, 2010
Hunter forgot the spaghetti with that meatball to Huff

UK Halo - October 31, 2010
yeah but Ryan had what 6 no hitters for the Halos?
Suck it Joe Suck
Halos in DE - October 31, 2010
4 with the Halos
ryanfea - October 31, 2010
Bumgardner is not a bum tonight
LanaBanana - October 31, 2010
Nice Ventura moment. Anybody remember any of his stats without going to B-Ref?
Fan Since 1981 - October 31, 2010
what bet did that guy lose?
Halos in DE - October 31, 2010
I'd hate to be sitting next to the purple teletubby.
angelsfan7 - October 31, 2010
thats what i mean
Halos in DE - October 31, 2010
Hunter got away with one.
Fan Since 1981 - October 31, 2010
Uribe
Almost…
Rev Halofan - October 31, 2010
Go Giants
ryanfea - October 31, 2010
Three hard hit balls this inning off Hunter.
But only a single to show for it.
Fan Since 1981 - October 31, 2010
why is this game so damn slow
Halos in DE - October 31, 2010
Its like watching the YES network
UK Halo - October 31, 2010
why in Green Eggs and Ham
do you watch the Yes network
Halos in DE - October 31, 2010
It was a veiled reference to the pace of play when watching the Yankees
UK Halo - October 31, 2010
Rec'd
Not for what you said but how you said it.
ryanfea - October 31, 2010
Tommy Hunter is basically a right-handed Joe Saunders
Suboptimal - October 31, 2010
…when you post that it means he sucks …
Rev Halofan - October 31, 2010
exactly
blochead - October 31, 2010
They call him Fat Nick Blackburn in LSB
I feel like that is a frighteningly accurate name for him.
Slyintine - October 31, 2010
Posey really is premium
LanaBanana - October 31, 2010
If Jeff Mathis is premium
Buster Posey is anti-premium.
Suboptimal - October 31, 2010
Hamilton
taunting Posey’s arm and pays for it
Rev Halofan - October 31, 2010
Maybe when he was on the powder
He would’ve beaten that.
maze88 - October 31, 2010 via mobile
Smart move by Wash.
Fan Since 1981 - October 31, 2010
Hunter was lucky to have given up just two runs.
Fan Since 1981 - October 31, 2010
Wow. Freddy Sanchez was pretty fantastic that bottom half inning.
Slyintine - October 31, 2010
Substitute him for Howie
ryanfea - October 31, 2010
Come to think of it
They are kind of similar in some respects.
ryanfea - October 31, 2010
Except Howie will never win the battling title
Slyintine - October 31, 2010
Yep
And that was kinda a fluke season for Sanchez
ryanfea - October 31, 2010
Giants acquired Sanchez from the Pirates for Tim Alderson.
A pitcher who has yet to pitch in the majors.
Fan Since 1981 - October 31, 2010
Robbery
Slyintine - October 31, 2010
This just in:
Mets still do not regret trading away Francoeur. Addition by subtraction.

Good morning eerybody fromBangkok, Thailand
Hi ho Silver, away. The Lone Ranger fan has arrived

Ha!
Your poor taste is forgiven. (:
LanaBanana - October 31, 2010
Has Tonto (Dono) arrived yet?
Moondoggy - October 31, 2010
Why did you say you were supporting Texas?
because you want Bengie to get a ring?
Doesn’t he get a ring regardless who wins?
UK Halo - October 31, 2010
throught the back door
also Vlad. and I HATE the Giants. I will nver forget the a-hole Gant fan dragging a rally monkey behind his car in the Angel parking lot after game 1. On the other hand, I have been to several games at the Ballpark in Arlington and always been treated well and with respect.
Moondoggy - October 31, 2010
MD, it's okay;
it wasn’t a real monkey. :P
(I’m for Tejas, too.)
cath619 - November 1, 2010
Ogando looks hurt
in addition to being the ugliest Rangers pitcher besides Warner Madrigal.
Rev Halofan - October 31, 2010
Ogando reminds me of a

Would you rather...
1. Have the Giants win it in 5 and celebrate on the Rangers home field.
or
2. Have the Giants win it in 6 or 7 and let them celebrate their championship at home
blochead - October 31, 2010
Win it as early as possible
Then we can start the countdown to spring training
UK Halo - October 31, 2010

angelsfan7 - October 31, 2010
Have them win ASAP
LanaBanana - October 31, 2010

And make a nice long victory lap around the Rangers stadium
angelslogic - October 31, 2010
I want them to win in Arlington too
Just to see the look on Kinsler’s & Nolan Ryan’s faces.

It is like they didn’t even try in these playoffs. That fact that this was probably the best of the bunch is embarrassing.

“On the bright side, at least the Yankees and Angels are at home”
I’d like to say…. they’ll be home soon with no trophy to show for anything.
