Rangers win 5-1
is that what your gut is telling you

or are you claiming to be a psychic?

My gut tells me Rangers Win it in 7.
No Way

If the stRangers win anymore, it’ll only be this game…that’s it…And the Lincecum would not be in the decision.

Lee historically does not pitch well in Texas

and he’s pitched on the road the entire postseason. my gut tells me he isn’t going to be as unhittable as everyone thinks. although this will be his last start before free agency, so if he has another gear, he’s sure to hit it tonight.

Make sure you have a supply of tissues ready for the end of the game.
Beat Criff Ree!
I can't wait to watch the post-game show after the Giants take this tonight

The one on Lone Star Ball, I mean

it'll probably read

like an episode of Deadwood. lots of f-words and c-words, with some incoherent stuff sprinkled inbetween.

Deadwood wasn't incoherent!
of course it wasn't, otherwise it wouldn't be a show

but there were definitely some people who spoke a lot without saying much other than curse words.

I must confess though that I just started watching the dvd’s this past weekend, and am only 2 episodes in. so far I love it though.

and no reason to yell. jeez

It has, perhaps, the best crafted scripts of any show I can remember.
I wasn't really meaning the main characters

but rather all the other people sprinkled in. but like I said, I just started it and am sure its just been setting the stage for the series thus far. I’m definitely hooked and can’t wait to get the next disc from Netflix.

did you ever watch The Wire? for me, that has the “best crafted scripts of any show I can remember.”

tried, failed
wow

thats surprising. but to each their own.

you try Breaking Bad? thats by far my favorite show right now

not showing here

You’re not suggesting I download illegally, are you!

nope

but you should check it out when you can. its well worth it

GREAT show
can't friggin wait

until next season. only 9 months away…sigh

It's going to be like reading

high school students pissed off at the world…lol

May have to wait

Only one inning, but Lee’s curve and change both look sharp.
Pat the Crap doesn’t stand a chance.

it is mostly peopel being negative

and people saying “quit being negative”

but it is awesome to read nonetheless.

it was much better before they started banning people left and right.
My prediction is

Pat Burrell (after being benched) will break out with a Cody Ross-esque night

I wonder if he wears his gimp outfit

underneath his uniform

Lol and...

Brian Wilson stuffs the mask in his back pocket…

For some reason I think Pat does well too.

That said, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him go 0 for 4 with 3 Ks and a pop up either

or, somewhere in between...
I assume there are some hardcore

Freaky Freaks fans in here

Mc Donald's commercial for the McRib

awesome – i thought it was an eHarmony commercial

Let's Go Giants!
People shouldn't be booing Pat. They should be cheering.
why?

he sucks. i have always hated him, esp. when he was on the Phillies (being a Phils fan as well). always swinging for the fences (see Game 3)

The fact that he sucks is good for the Rangers.

Hence, the crowd should be cheering.

This is true, and I get your sarcasm even though Halos in DE does not.
Why?

Because if he sucks it’s beneficial to the Texas fans

Only 6 pitches?

Fire Hatcher!!!

the other night

my wife said she thought Kinsler was hot after a brief glimpse.

I immediately filled her in on why Angels fans hate him, then began showing her close-up pictures of him online until she retracted her statement.

never have I spent 20 minutes on a more worthy cause

aaron rowand is the man! (catch into the wall against the mets to save a grand slam)

2-0 Giants

(hitwise)

And a lot of well-hit, line-drive outs. Cliff Lee looks so so.
I guess not all Rangers fans are

douches.

all i would want

-chance to meet the guy
-handshake / picture
-autograph of my ticket stub or program or something that i bring

he probably got

the shit kicked out of him by all the other fans right after

He told Posey that someone threw a bottle at him for not throwing the ball back onto the field
stay classy Texas

I think many times fans want to keep the ball, but the pressure from everyone around them yelling and screaming to throw it back overwhelms them into appeasing the mob. I know I would never throw a ball back.

Nice story.
I couldn't get it to open
Summary.

Posey hit HR to CF. Ranger fan that caught it exchanged the ball for a couple of other autographed balls and a photo with Posey.

Thanks

Very cool

later everyone

off to softball

go SF!!

Tim Lincecum likes to wear bowties. He is now Ken Rosenthal's favorite player
He must be thrilled
A way to announce you are either a super-geek...

…or you think you are so cool that even a bow tie can’t destroy your projection of coolness.

Come on Buster Posey - Joe Mauer light.
Jeff Mathis >Buster Posey
posey is not premium enough

random, crappy, fox statistics. They are getting as bad as the Evil network

i have a choice of 3 different announcing teams

and all 3 suck .

wtf doesn’t fox show me the pitch tracker, wonder how much uncle bud stuffed in their pocket to hide the shitty umpiring coming from behind the plate

I just watch the games.
Lee is in "Beast Mode"

Giants dont have a chance.

Lincecum is too.
Lincecum is also in Beast mode

NO ONE IS GOING TO WIN

this could be a very long game.
extra innings tonight, I think we can count on it.
that or it will be determined by one mistake
No Rangers will get some runs of Lincecum soon
Why do you say that? Rangers haven't looked any better against Lincecum than the Giants have against Lee.
I would actually say the Rangers have looked the worse. They don't seem to have a good approach going against Lincecum
You really are trying to hope the stRangers to a win.
We gots us a genuwine pitcher's dewel
Texas talk
Authentic frontier gibberish?
drunken Orange Countian.....
not for long
we got ourselves a Lincecum hater
not a hater just going off what I think may happen
Lincecum is one of the elite pitchers, too, you know
what's not to like?
pitching awesomeoness stats

turns into jinx

Lincecum looks like a 10th grade kid
DP here please
I thought that said DP HER, please......I was like....WOW
Let Pat Burrell take care of that stuff.
okay okay you thought you thought now knock it off
here comes the DP
nope :(
not for lack of trying, tho!
Not quite, but close
oh baby

oh BBBAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEEEE

Shouldn't there be two of them?
Another good pitch.
OH GOD

That change-up is so dirty.

like doyers fans say about lincecum

“dat fu got lucky”

Kazmir wishes for some of that luck in 2011
LUCKY???

he just killed Hamilton and Cruz
not even cuz

The Hair has it going.
Tim Lincecum sees proposition 19.....and he LIKES it!
He wants to wrap this series up now

so he can go get some weed on Wednesday. Haha.

Huffin' and Puffin'
Moreland crashes back to earth
They may miss Smoak
we miss Blue Smoke

well, not really

Now playing first base, Juan Rivera.
not even

give the guy a break. Juan rivera is just insulting

Burrel overmatched and swinging at crap!
and yet, the Giants are one win away

(I don’t think he had a thing to do with last night’s win)

I still like where the G men are right now…

more like every Giants hitter
05 world series

the world series we was supposed to win
smdh

Won by a bunch of f*cking cheaters

and their umpire cohorts.

Hey! It's November

FUCK YOU Doug Eddings

When the announcers talk about the Padres

I feel bad for that team and their fans after this last season.

Also, if the Giants do finish off the Rangers, the Padres will be the only CA team without a championship.

Latos and Richard are legit.
And Adrian Gonzalez

And little Eck.

True, hopefully they repeat their success next year

but make the postseason this time.

I would love an all SoCal World Series without the Doyers. Fox would commit suicide because of the low ratings. Haha.

Burrell is awful
Burrell; feels like he can K on just 2 pitches
why is he STILL in the damn lineup
Because he won't hit into any DPs
STILL?

He wasn’t in the line=up yesterday

he shouldn't be in the lineup anymore
Wow, halfway through the game in 1 hour and 10 minutes
I have Erin Andrews ads

Why do I get keyhole flashbacks?

Charissa Thompson>Erin Andrews
Sit Down Kinsler
Really quick game tonight

Rangers fans quickly feeling nervous. Deep down they know they aren’t gonna score of Lincecum.

Giants aint scoring off Lee
The power of positive thinking only works so much.
The Rangers have been shutout twice this World Series

If would be biting my nails if I were a Rangers fan.

Problem is the ballpark

I suspect a cheap flyball will turn into a HR and decide the game.

You are probably right

I feel it might be a Giants 1-0 win tonight

don't say that

never say:
1. it is a fast game
2. it isn’t going to rain
3. we are winning (even in the 9th)

they are all jinxs. and you will pay for them dearly.

What if I tell you

I don’t believe in jinx.

glee sucks. get over it fox.

Nice AB Bengie
Great AB Rowand
Rowand kept waiting for the offspeed pitch.
for a good game...

Muck (McCarver + Buck) are really excited

Rainbow curve for a strike
Wtf Cruz

He whiffed on that.

s.d.m.f
shit. damn. mother f'er

don’t like using my f bomb for Nov.

Nice try Buster
Buster Posey

Almost crushed that.

Cruz just saved the Texas season.
almost hit him in the wrist...

totally mis-caught that and is lucky he didn’t drop that!

Damn

That made up for his near error

damn you Joe Buck quit making everything sound like it's a homerun.
He has been worse in this series of that

than Victor Rojas was this season

Thats just what he does.

It makes for good drama for both teams fans watching on TV.

OMG Ribwich is back
is it real pork? or just chicken shaped like pork?
Who cares - it tastes good and that's all that matters.
i like your logic.
damn good logic
I doubt it's even chicken

Probably more like a mix of various meat scraps that Mcdonalds buys on the cheap and then adds to an abundant amount of flavoring agents to make a rib-shaped “meat” patty.

Once again, who cares. I've eaten at McDonalds all my life and never once have I gotten sick.

I can say that about very few other places.

I have never eaten at McDonalds in my entire life
Your digestive system will thank you in the long run
With that, I agree. Once in a while though is just fine.
Yeah Mcdonalds gets a bad rap and deservedly so

but the have made some substantial changes to their menu and the quality of their ingredients in the last few years.

Do they have them in the UK?
they are ubiquitous
but Timmy is easy to run on MUCK!
Mitch Moreland=Casey Kotchman 2.0
That's actually a surprisingly good comparison

Except Kotchman is a better fielder than him.

Moreland's 2010 season looks an awful lot like Kotchman's 2007

Playing in that stadium will help him out a bunch though

aww crap Hambino is up
people call him that?

really?

Hammy, Hamster, Hammertime
after he hit all those HR derby homers in old Yankee stadium.

He got that nickname from some I guess.

Cocaine is helluva drug
Quick outs for the FreaK
I have a feeling the team who scores the most runs will win.
thanks Joe Maddon
And...

if the… if the… if the…. guy with the st-st-st-st-st-..bat hits the base ball out of the park….

that’s a-the-the-that’s a… that’s a-that’s a home run.

Modification: ...the first run...
I'll be glad to see no more political ads on my TV.
or trash littered about the neighborhood.
or phone calls interrupting the baseball game
tomorrow

my brother got 3 postcards TODAY supporting one candidate – and he is an independent. I went to another state’s newspaper’s site, and I got ads for a campaign in my state. I hate the candidate, that person will embarrass us even further than they already have.

I have a good feeling about this inning
2 on, no outs . . .

I got a pretty good feeling too.

at the top of the 7th

pitch count
Lee – 75
Timmy – 68

Aubrey Huff DP

in 3…2….1…..

0....-1....-2...-3...
The Boch is now The Soth
Woah, Aubrey Huff bunting?
now here is the dp
burrell is going to

dp the giants chances in this game

yes i went there
HA! They want Burrell to make contact.
Burrell Sucks
SQUEEZE..........
Come on Pat, but the ball in play at least
Chew them nails...
contact play?
Rick Sutcliffe says yes!
Feels like Shea Hillenbrand is batting
Quit twistin' your head Pat

Keep it straight, get a gd hit biotch

lol @ the old dude in the Cowboy hat

freakin awesome!!!

I also laughed out loud at that

lee is at 89 pitches

thats the first sac bunt in Huff's career

he nearly beat it out for just an infield hit, i’m sure he prefers the sac

lol ive seen better swings at a park
Renteria looks like the guy from the Wire
Pat the bat

Got owned

pat the no bat more like it
Jesus christ Pat
burrell name should be bukkekk
Does Burrell do anything other than K
Not allowed to post it because of the content

but yes

The Rays knew that would happen.
Try looking at the ball next time Machine
Time for Pat Burrell to retire...
Renteria saved your ass Pat
and THAT is the game!!!!
knaw dawg
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woohoo diarenteria hits it out...3 run HR
A deposit in the cheap seats
CA bringing back the world series trophy!
I wish I had made the trip to Civic Center now . . .
It looks awesome there right now
Man

Renteria might actually be the MVP this World Series, if the Giants win.

lol @ Andres Torres

“he told me he gone do it”

lol at your team losing
work with me is all im gonna say
Game, set, and ...
Cliff not pitching perfect Lee.

Oh yeah! How fitting he loses this game for the Rangers if this works out.

deejayelleseven

I warned you about having tissues handy.

It aint over
it's over

it’s been over since game 2

Giants hit a 3 run HR

And we sing God Bless America

o and its almost time to bring in

Dr. Beardface

Leave Tim in all 9
I can hear the sobbing coming from LSB
you are hearing correctly
Instead of God Bless America

they should be playing Taps for the Rangers.

beautiful.....just beautiful
Renteria has hit 8 home runs in two seasons with the Giants
God Bless Colombia

Land of Edgar Renteria (and Ron Washington’s relaxant of choice)

Lee at 95
Timmy at 68

Lee can go 120 easily
MVP??????

Predictions?

Pat Burell and his .000 SLG
SF would be better off with Brandon Wood
by .043 points
pat the bat

for graciously letting renteria be a hero

Lincecum

Beat Cliff Lee twice

but his game one was shaky
Credit with the win over Cliff Lee twice.

Thats what counts to the people voting for that

and pinstripes

don’t forget the pinstripes … and sunscreen

Jeetter of course
Jeff Mathis
Edgar

his ba is amazing 0.412

6 rbis (3 game 1)
way to go Vladdy
the rangers are losing because...

1. the flag guy from the alcs isn’t there

Time to shut 'em down

shut ’em shut ’em down!

How long can the Giants celebrate on the field

before Kinsler tells them to get the F off of it?

long enough for Hamilton to get drunk

ouch, that is so so so so so so wrong

i'm sorry

not something to make fun of

why not?
recovering substance abuser
and why is that not material for humor?
because he is trying to become clean
I reserve the right to laugh at him
Vladdy being Vladdy...in the postseason.
now that the pressure is off and the series is over

cruz can hit

don't let them back in this game Giants
you know they will
Shhhhhhhhhhh

No celebrations yet.

Don't worry, Dusty Baker doesn't manage the Giants anymore.
Rangers don't have the rally monkey
They actually do have stuffed monkeys with Rangers jerseys
Don't give these Ginger Ale's life.
"You can't stop Edgar Renteria, you can only hope to contain him." @baseballcrank
have no idea why the pitched to him instead of Rowand

in that situation you know Renteria is more likely to get a hit, and with Lee’s control you aren’t worried about a walk forcing in a run.

Solo HRs don't kill you . . .

Just don’t allow anymore. Okay?

uh oh....he's shaken.
its a win-win-win-win situation!

1. Rangers kick the yankees out of the post season
2. Giants win the world series
3. Dodger fans are pissed
4. California has a world series champ!

I liked the Giants more

until Sanchez threw that temper tantrum in the NLCS.

ease on up their cowboy i reckon theirs more ball left
Mr Ranger is up ahh crap Tim done effed up now ya'll
Hey Bruce...

Enough – Timmy’s had enough

Somebody give Lincecum a joint!!!!!!
its his special sauce
He's lost his command.
what is the crowd yelling?
I've been wondering that for 3 games now...
something about seceding in 1861
remember the alamo???
Go home ya Hippie
What every crowd has been yelling since the 1920s.

aaahhhffffggrwerfhskdfsdjfksgsf

hey look ma we wuz on tee vee

“Pat Borders. Bucky Dent. Ray Knight. Darrell Porter. Scott Brosius. Donn Clendenon. Larry Sherry. Edgar Renteria.”

Yay for 2002 WS Game 6 reference!
ex 02 Angel Bengie up ahhh shiiiiittttt

after that stat

I love how the Angels have been mentioned almost every game this year in the WS.
Foreshadowing Next years World Series
woinder if bengie will pop bottles with the giants after
Too early to give the gameball to Timmaay?
Not really, but's wait a little longer.
the look on Ryan's face tells it all
his ALCS Game 1 face was soooooooo

much better

Seeing Ryan's face may be the best part for me
Seems like everyone here is rooting for the Giants

I know a decent number of Angels fans rooting for the Rangers.

I hate everything about Texas

I could never root for their teams

Dodgers fans I know

are rooting for the GIANTS their arch rival because they hate the Bush’s MORE.

Probably the #1 reason why I hate the state on Texas in general.
That's hilarious

never forgive, never forget

really?

okay whatever, every fan has a right to their own opinion.

never root for my rival.
they're traitors

In my opinion it is a sin to cheer for another AL West team to win it all.

that's how I feel
Timmay looks badass walking off the mound right now

He’s gonna finish this game

Not sure about that, but I'm pretty sure he'll get through 8 unless Hamilton comes up
Lee out after only 95 pitches.
Washington is PREMIUM!
say bye-bye, Rangers fans

he’s going to look like a douchebag in pinstripes next year

Marlins..? White Sox..? Rockies..?
keep guessing

I’ll let you know when you name the one with cliff lee type money

There will be no repeat of 2002 game 6

There is nobody quite as useless in Left Field as Barry Bonds was that day.

to boot

fans did hit him with ThunderStix

Feliz? Who he?
Pedro Martinez son I think

lol

Rangers losing because they give front row batter's box seats to a war criminal every night.

Bad Luck there.

NO POLITICS HERE!
I agree.

No politics. Otherwise I’ll start doing my Ray Jay Johnson routine.

lol

Bush Derangement Syndrome in full effect

Is Idi Amin at the game? (postumously)
Che Guevara there, guest of Ozzie Guillen
I was gonna say "is Castro there????"
read Christopher Hitchens

The Author who wrote a book detailing that Henry Kissinger should be tried as a war criminal.

Because Hitchens, a fan of the Soviet Union and the PLO, the left’s greatest intellectual, is Bush’s #1 backer.

I always thought he was an idiot since I was a kid. He has cancer or something now.
you are the JEFF MATHIS of politics

why do you get so much playing time?

throat cancer
esophagal

is there a diff?

nope

throat = esophagus
windpipe=trachea

that W magic still works

so help me Katrina

The Yankees are already making space for the Cliff Lee Jerseys
With spitoons inbuilt
It's amazing how bad Michael Young is at defense
And to think that we drafted Buster Posey once upon a time.
I hate you for bringing that up
he was unsignable

if you want to be mad at them failing to sign guys, Matsutz or whatever his name is would be looking like an awfully good 4th starter right now. Zach Cone and that one guy that went to Texas could have been signed.

I realized yesterday what was so weird about Halloween....

usually the hubby takes the boys out trick or treating while I stay home.

watching the Angels play because it’s play off time.

NO DAMN ANGELS!!! waaaaahhhhhh

Although I'm not exactly expecting anyone to root for the Rangers

since they’re our divisional rivals and all, I must say I’m quite disgusted by the Giants love-fest on HalosHeaven. I think we should apologize and donate our World Series trophy to them and say “Oh actually, I think you guys deserved it. I hope you guys win all the World Series in the future as it’ll make Dodger fans mad, because that’s the only thing I care about.”

fuck you.

simple enough?

couldn't say it better myself
FUCK YEAH!

there we go

I'm actually rooting for the yankees
Don't we all?
Personally I'm rooting for the Giants

because Kinsler is a douche and brings that whole team down in terms of rootablility.

you sound like an ex dodger crying about how we choose to back the giants.
If you look at his post history

He wrote f**K the Giants at True Blue LA so he could get some attention.

Yeah I did. You should see what I wrote before that. Angels fan, not Giants fan.
you sound like an ex dodger crying about how we choose to back the giants.
And what are you? Did you all grow up Giants fan and then convert to Angels "fans" when you moved to southern California?

I’m not rooting for the Rangers to win, but I’m not exactly sucking Giant nuts either.

No fair

I’ve been a Giants fan all week.

wow

someone is bitter. Dude we can’t watch the World Series and root for a team. Its not like we are claiming we are huge Giants fan. How bout you get the fuck over yourself and face the facts. The Giants have a chance to win the world series and they are the better team.

so so true

if it was the braves, phillies, cards i would have rooted for them in the world series against texas. i’m rooting for anyone but texas

its not like we are all going to buy a World Series Shirt

its just nice to watch a non east coast WS.

have you been dipping into Ron Washington's private reserve, newb?
Try rooting for the team from your state?
With that mentality

I suppose I should cheer for the A’s, Dodgers, and SUC as well.

Depends on who the A's are playing . . .

Yankees? I root for the A’s
Rangers (in a possible ALCS)? I root for the A’s
Red Sox? I root for the A’s
Dodgers? I root for the A’s

I will never root for the Dodgers . . . if there isa BOS-LAD matchup, I will go into denial.

you can't appreciate a WS without the Yankees

Phillies, Red Sox, or Cardinals

Buster Posey!
Feliz needs a hair cut!

So does Andrus. Don’t these fools know the Jerry curl went out of style 20 years ago?

why you hatin foo

his hair looks fresh yo .
o.g. to the max

"Either they dont know, dont show, or dont care about whats going on in the hood"

-Doughboy twins haha

Ron Washington = Dusty Baker

Edgar Renteria = Hideki Matsui

You are the Jeff Mathis of comparisons.

that caught on quick!

Can I have a dollar?
he's premium..?
I'm a big leaguer YES !
guys he was doing great before his injury and in the postseason

he needs at least another 1000 abs to get back on track, or at least see if he can.

eff the Mathis haters yo
I am actually butterfly f'n nervous

do NOT screw this up Gigantes

Timmay cannot be stopped tonight.
Can we package Wood and Mathis for this Lincecum guy?
Ned Colettti dosen't work for the Giants anymore.
Love how the 3B

got the F out of Lincey’s way to field that dribbler

Lincecum's throw to first is better than any of Kazmir's fastballs
Huff wishes he had a catcher's mask for that throw!
3 more to go!

Until hot stove free agency heartbreak.

can't wait for Hot Stove to begin.
Do you keep TL in for the 9th?

huh do ya huh?

Can we please get some ridiculous fanpost trade suggestions

that involve us getting Lincecum?

Q straight up
This is a secret Mariner conspiracy to trade Lee to the Rangers, somehow they knew he would choke in the Series

when it mattered most.

I'm rooting for the Giants just to piss of Rob mcMillin

mind you, he’s easily pissed off

The one bad thing about thr stRangers loosing is ...

they will still be hungry next season

and the next, and the next......
yea but they'll be hungry w/o

Lee and they got about as good of pitching performances as they could have expected. You think Hunter is going to go 8-0 again?

You didn't get the memo.

They’re just happy to be playing in November.

outta the loop I guess
they gonna sign more fat guys..?
Giants are three outs away

this is MUCH much closer than they ever were in 2002

I wouldn't say much

5 runs with 9 outs is just about as bad as 2 runs with 3 outs.

Maybe in a computer, but not in my book.
Game set and...

M-A-T…

Ah, how I love watching this.

If only they could have kept the Rangers off the board for the third time. Still, I’ll take the beat down against Cliff Lee in Texas.

Jose wondering when the WS ring sizing day will be on that play
Bengie, three outs from getting a ring
She's not quite singing yet...


…but I can hear her starting to hum!

Where am I, LSB?!
No, she's wearing clothes.
Totally appropriate...for any day in SF.
because she's texas fan sized?
no posting images
this is kinda not a REAL game thread
now you tell me
Dave Henderson, Bill Buckner and Byung-Hyun Kim disagree.
Might as well give Lincecum the game ball right now

….oh wait…

Dusty, what are you doing here?
I got lost on the internets
That 'game ball' business is such a joke

there are like two hundred game balls

Messin with our past time isn't right there buddy

can’t argue with that bad game six juju

Don't do it Bochy

Troy Glaus with haunt your dreams.

St. Louis is WEST of the Mississippi

idiots

you can't expect a guy to master

Baseball, Public Speaking and Geography.

Bochy is 4 and a half years older

than Scioscia

Doesn't Bochy have an infant son he can try to get killed at home plate?
Allright everyone, gather up your AA's and prepare for a celebratory battery chucking session.
Ugh Burrell
Ya, so much for my prediction
Burrell is official shitty this WS
here we go.... to the bottom of the 9th.
Burrell should refuse the ring

if he had any pride

yeah he already has a 2008 WS ring
Nah, not if BMo is going to get one...
what about Bengie?

that has to be really awkward for him

Burrell is so awful it is funny

11 strikeouts in 13 AB’s

sounds like Ryan Bolden adjusting to pro ball
Pat Burrell

looks like JFK Junior

Congratulations Burrell.

Single-A pitching would overpower you.

More SUCKAGE from Burrell...
3 outs away

Lets do this Giants

Jeez Louise, is Burrell

a total waste of good oxygen or what?

He's practically Mathisonian.
(rec'd for Mathisonian)
dude has got to look at the ball he is trying to hit

LL’ers do a better job of concentrating than that

Hambino,Big Daddy,Nellie due up

Oh noes this wont end well ,Rangers have come back way too many times this season irking the hell out of me.

Here comes the beard.
here comes....

DR. BEARDFACE

Burrell is just plain awful.
Uh, sorry announcers, but in 1954, there *was* a team west of the Mississippi.

The St. Louis Cardinals.

Granted, because STL is on the west bank of the Mississippi River, it’s not very far west, but it is, technically west of the river.

do you know Geography isn't even a course students take in HS anymore????
Giants are gonna win despite giving away AB's with Pat in the lineup
he's playing for his D
he b da "Machine"
Fear the Beard!
His beard is weird.
no one can handle that beard
makes me think of the Hangover
BEARD

LOVE THE EFFIN BEARD

Too bad it won't be Vlad striking out to end it.
best case scenario

he gets hit in the groin………. with 1 out, then guy after him makes an out, and then Vlad gets a CS trying to steal 2B.

I am really nervous

I can’t image how much a wreak I would be if this were the Angels.

we'd be at the stadium...
sexy giants latina cougar

AYE!!!

sit down junkie
STFD Hamilton
Not the best AB by Hamilton.
We should have re-signed Vladdy
Come on Beard, 1 more out

That was sweeeeet.
oh holy shit

Vlad World Series Fail.

Love it

Oh noes NELSON CRUZ is up

NELSOn CRUZ Ahhhhhh

No Misfits on their pitching squad

I CALL BULLSHIT

Two out - too easy.

was Posey really drafter by the angels and not signed

yes true – it was dense destiny

it was in the 50th round

he had NO INTENTION of signing with any team.

oh shit oh shit

oh shit

I hope Bengie joins the Giants dogpile
When's Game 6?

oh wait

one strike away
"One Strike Away"

is not a phrase to conjure with amongst Halo fans!

That is some SERIOUS facial hair.

He looks like Bluto from the Popeye strip

Congratulations Giants...
FUCK YOU TEXAS RANGERS

LOL BITCHES!!!!

YEAH!!

FUCK YOU RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Texas Rangers Not World Champions!
THE GAME IS OVAAAA
Hey, Kinsler! Why don't you tell them to get the F-- off of your field!
... The Giant win the series

… The Giant win the series… The Giant win the series… The Giant win the series… The Giant win the series… The Giant win the series… The Giant win the series… The Giant win the series… The Giant win the series… The Giant win the series!!!

Where's Kinsler

he got the hell off the field

Thaaaaaaaaaaaa Rangers LOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Rangers LOSE!!!!!!!!!

That popping sound you are about to hear

will be that of Dodger fans skulls exploding all over So Cal

MY JINXING Worked YAY!!! lol

LETS GO ANGELS!

da-da-da-da-dam

And Cliff Lee went 0-2 in the WS. Nice.
That's the way you win a World Series.
Time for that victory lap
Don't burn the city down now, okay?

(nevermind, SF isn’t LA)

Is Nolan Ryan

Pissed/crying? Lol I’m driving home!

GET THE FUCK OF OUR FIELD!

(oh wait, I guess it’s your field now…)

Congratulations San Francisco . . .

Now we can focus on a (hopefully) productive offseason by our Halos.

That’s it for the one-hit-wonder Rangers.

you don’t deserve the dogpile Pat the no Bat

No champagne for Pat Burrell!

He can drink shower water. That’s it.

LSB NAO!!! lol
"If there's ever been a city, or a fanbase, that deserves this... it's San Francisco."

???

they kept Duracell in business

and their stock dividends high for many a year.

Bring on Hot Stove
Great win for the giants!!!
Dear Giant Fans,

Now that you have a championship, can Angel and Giant fans be friends, again??

It would've been better if it was at AT&T

But meh. A RING IS A RING

are you kidding?

forcing the Rangers fans to watch that…. AWESOME!!!!

Exactly.

In front of Nolan Ryan.

Burrell still sucks!!!

hahaha….

Which will eat at the Rangers all the more

Texas was probably the better team.

"There's going to be a Game 7"

Chuck Greenberg

Vlad has no rings and a .71 World Series BA
That is 71 points better than Pat the Whiff
Did he do anything other than strike out?
He grounded out and lined out.
fuck you rangers!

Hahahahahahahaha!

Lincecum can go home, vote yes on 19

and celebrate on Wednesday. Haha.

all of San Fran. should for what he did for them
I have a feeling that

SF will overwhelmingly support Prop 19, its just the rest of the state that Lincecum should be worried about.

Angels in '11

Heard it here first. :D

This just in: Angels Release Mathis!!!!

oh wait, just kidding.

dammit - heart palpatations for just a sec
underdogs from the nlds

no one thought they would beat the braves, phillies, OR the rangers

I did, but I was weird.

Pitching.

i did for world series

rangers don’t have middle relief

I did

This was the first time in the PostSeason that the Rangers had to face a World Series caliber pitching staff.

That alone had me pick Giants in 6.

The Texas Rangers NOT the World Series Champions.

Dodger fans angry it went to their divison rival.

A’s fans seething their cross town rival won.

Everybody wins!

So did the Rangers give away Smoak for a World Series Ring

and fail?

Or do you think just making the World Series was what they wanted out of Cliff Lee?

They're happy with what they got in terms of Revenue and progress.

They lose to the Rays in 6 without Lee.

If you asked the Rangers the plan was to get Lee to get them "deep into the post-season."

He came up just short but I think they would still do it over again. They would have won the AL pennant without him I think.

at least the 1 class act on the Rangers gets a Ring

way to go Benji!! Congrats giants.

He really earns it

He helped that Giants pitching staff be that great.

Ok, that's the 2010 season

Well done Giants, and congratulations to Texas for deservedly winning the pennant.

Good ending to a bad season.

Can’t wait to slap the rangers around next year.

trAdition says we let Aybar go and sign Renteria
hahaha...

I love 41 year old Shortstops…

can we get Julio Franco?
We sign World Series MVPs, right?
then come on Timmy
crossing fingers on who it will be.
trAdition says we go out and overpay for Cliff Lee
Stephen Hawking is handing out awards now

Cool!

holy shit he can walk
you are so wrong.

Hawking has way more charisma than Uncle Bud.

but does Joe Buck?
His dead father has more charisma than Joe Buck.
Hey...

We have one of those too.

But it is fast becoming an antique.
I hope Renteria wins the WS MVP

anyone see that nfl beat ws in the ratings last night

not shocked

after 20 years of incessant East Coast bias and YankSox fixation coupled with terrible broadcasts that are filled with cretinous commercial announcements during every AB and are dominated by terrible camera angles, is it REALLY any surprise?

Yup.

The sporting media industry has worked very hard over the past 3 decades to do absolutely nothing to develop any interest beyond the lowest of low hanging fruit.

When the slightest wind of change has the temerity of causing that fruit to fall from the tree first, the magnificence of the entire tree above is ignored.

Is there any difference between Bruce Bochy and Mike Scioscia?

Seriously?

Scioscia manages the most awesome team in baseball
agree with this ^^^
^right there^

happy for Sf but let’s not get carried away

I'm disappointed in Ron Washington

Once it was clear the Rangers were going to lose, he should have spent 10 minutes removing his starters from the field so they could be individually cheered by the home crowd.

I wonder if Kinsler yelled “Get off our field” to the celebrating Giants.

Still waiting for the rest of the World Cup preview on your blog!
Still waiting for the rest of the World Cup preview on your blog!
That was by my friend, actually.

He’s got his own blog now. He hasn’t posted much lately though.

http://thesportsrighter.wordpress.com/

Looks like the Vlad love affair is over.
and they're stuck with him. He'll take his player option for sure.
It's been over for the whole second half of the season.

The postseason just gave them time for perspective and failures on the big stage.

He usually chokes in the clutch

His BA in post-season must be around .100

Bookmark all those comments for Dono...
I wonder if the Ginger Ale can be returned?
Just goes to show that it is better to be hot than good.

If the best team were to have won, the Phillies would be swigging the bubbly right now.

Man. Lincecum should be a Co-MVP

Beat Cliff twice.

Are the Giants inviting Bengie in for the post game celebrations?
Time for a Chipotle celebration burrito
Cody f'ing Ross almost tied Barry Bonds for XBH total in the postseason. Wow
In Giants history
No asterisk needed for the 2002 World Series
See you all in 2011

Keep well and happy, one and all

Hippies win! Hippies win!

Mad Bum and the Beard.
Buster and the Huff.

Some great eighties buddy comedies on this team.

Yea, being in SF right now you would just get a massive contact high

They’re sparking up Victory joints by the thousands!

ohhh no Translator needed soon
Now on to Hot Stove

108 days until Pitchers & Catchers report
113 days until Position players report.

Back to blasting Mathis, etc.

for the next 3 months

hopefully we won't be doing that for very long.

Non-tender anyone?

We have to have someone to lambast and rail at

now that Q has ridden off into the sunset

Hilarious
@kevinspaul: Somewhere in Texas, Bengie Molina is hiding in the janitor’s closet pouring champagne on himself.
that's pretty funny.
an instant classic.
Glad that Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer are enjoying their night of victory

on the night before their destruction.

I hope that will be true.
Well....

it’s been real, it’s been fun – would have been more fun if the Angels had been in the playoffs but still…. Can’t wait for Nov 8th (when Hot Stove starts); I’m looking forward to all the rumors and freaking out until we know the truth. Can’t wait. See ya all soon.

One of the few times I'll ever quote Ice Cube,

but “today was a good day.”

as an angels fan in the Bay Area

does this mean i can no longer point out 2002 to them?

A text from my mom: (Giants fan only when boyfriend is)
Mom: “HOW ’BOUT THOSE GIANTS”
Me: “Big deal took awhile. Welcome to the club. You still have to wait another 60 years for your next one”
Mom: “Rude”
Me: “Dont cry it is baseball”
mom: “Whaeeevveeer”

Screw the giants worst Champs since the Marlins win there years

Watched the game at a sports bar here in Temecula.

Sat next to a rowdy bunch of guys, all claiming to be native Texans, and Ranger fans. These “fans” got real quiet after Lee didn’t look so hot and left by the 8th inning. I guess everything in Texas is bigger. Including bandwagons!

Well, I guess it's now officially time to stare out the window and wait for Spring.
Already lookin' out my window red,

ST can’t come fast enough. I like basketball (go Lakers!), and football is ok. I’ve tried hockey but I just don’t dig it that much, and soccer sucks (in my opinion). This is truly the worst part of the year for me. I can’t wait for Angels baseball!!!

Well, now you can get extra hangovers, and not worry about being messed up for the game.
Ok, so, where were we...o yea . . .so we're gonna pick up Crawford

and we’re going to get Lee . . . and we’re going to get . . .

Can't forget the WS MVP trAdition

we started…lol

I'm leaning towards Werth over Crawford

if he’s willing to take a four-year deal.

I could be very wrong Chuck,

But I have a feeling that whatever team purchases the services of either Crawford or Werth will have buyers remorse big time. I could be wrong, but something about them strikes me as being very overpriced, with limited return. I know i’m probably wrong, but I can’t shake the feeling…..

I feel ya.

Werth seems like he’ll pull a Pat Burrell and regress if he plays in the AL. I compare him to Burrell because he used to crush the ball, take a walk, and K around 130 times. Crawford might not be the leadoff bat we so desperately need, but can contribute everywhere else.

I'm in (despite the earlier crack)

What would it take to snag Beltre from the Sux?

Some think Boras will drive it up to 15 million a year.

I think it’ll be around 12, it all depends on the market. Beltre showed above average pop before playing in Boston. I’m all for signing Beltre, even though I’m a closet Brandon Wood fan. Can’t wait to see what Ninja decides what’s best for the team.

Btw, digging the "new" Laker bench

Lakers just need Bynum back.

Lovin' me some LO.

If only he could play like this all year.

LO is ballin', and Blake is a sweet fit at PG

it’s all good

Blake>Farmar

Dude’s going to be money come playoff time.

vlad may not have gotten a ring

but he did get 1 hit in the world series.

congrats vlad!

oliver, o’day, and vlad played horribly, and I couldn’t be happier about it. Alright, I could be a little happier, since I am happier about how horrible Hamilton and Washington were.

whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiines

It's somehow sad that Garrett Anderson

performed so much better than Vlad in HIS World Series . . .
but then so did virtually everyone of the unknown Giant “sluggers” in this series

Pat Burrell gets another ring

0/13 in this series
11 strike outs

1/14 in 2008 world series
only 5 strike outs

:)

TWO TIME WORLD CHAMPION, and rumored to be high on Tony Reagins wanted chart.

Btw, QQS, I have to mention

that I have really enjoyed this site as my first year comes to an end as a fortunate “member” of the HaloHeaven blog. I have really enjoyed everything (except when Rev got on my case once and I became a martyr, etc…)—especially the humor.
And as far as humor goes, I rank many of your comments with the funniest I’ve seen on this site. I remember, for instance, that on the first Rev-sponsored “Fuck it” thread, you gave me the best belly laughs I’ve had in years—of course, it was ALL
really fucking funny.
Thanks for that.
Now carry on . . .

Hey Raaddad,

If you think QGS is funny listen to this, a priest and a rabbi walk into a bar…..Or I can give you a knock-knock joke. Either way it wouldn’t matter, i’m pretty f&cked up. I’m saving my F bomb for ST. ;)

hey me too . . .and I think I have you rated 44th, btw, but that's not bad . . . .

I thought we got one f-bomb a month, not a season?
Or do you just hoard yours waiting for just the right opportunity to release a stream of F bombs . ..

Once a month F bombs allowed.

However i’m hoping Rev lets us rip loose George Carlin style, that way I have many F bombs in the bank. And being ranked 44th ain’t too bad, my ex-wife had me ranked at 63. I obviously suck.

Just keep sucking

and I’m sure she’ll move you up the list!
ta-dum
(btw, I DO know the power of the darkside…)

Did you miss the one game when the Rev waived the F-Bomb rule? It was epic.
That's the one.

I felt like a kid again laughing my ass off for about 20 minutes at the hilarious mutli-usage of the f word.

I'm going to have to find the game thread and post a link to it (unless someone else does it first)
I was just thinking of that! (great minds think alike LOL)

Can you find it? How does one find such things?
I was thinking of referencing that thread in a post I am working on about the use of the “F” word, though it may be awhile before it is completed.

No I was there.

It was fan-f*cking-tastic!

I'll always remember you as the silly bastard who put up a "guide for newbies"

when you had only been a member for a few months :)

That's me!

“Silly bastard” says it all too . . .
At least most of you can take a joke
I guess that’s why y’all put up with DOV all season.
(Btw, I also wrote the immortal classic “Papelbon on the Mound.”
It was all downhill from there. WTF.)

Lawlz, I remember that post.

like mozart’s fifth it was. DOV can say some funny shit, but the jokes about DOV triumph anything he’s ever said or done. He’s HH’s punching bag, that crown used to belong to R. Munkee (hate for Vlad) and spc7@verizon.net (his all caps rant).

Yea that's pretty bad. Epic rant..about the Dodgers??????

That post also contains pictures of your family?

Hah, no. You cheeky bastard :)

I meant Beethoven’s fifth. The only one that’s I was really close to was the ham, we miss him even more with every day that passes.
