Let's do this, Giants!
I do not remember Jeremy Fikac.
I cannot believe you do not remember Fikac.
Dude had like a 20% HR/FB rate!
Time for another 14K night, Timmy.
Fuck that:

26.

Halladay with the winning solo dinger?
I was thinking a pop up to Cody Ross to end it, but sure, we can be realistic too.
This shit better be good this time.
I don't care as long as the Giants win.
Oh fuck, I'm on board now.

Go Giants…

And with Section331's tweet, I head out to baseball-less dinner with the Aged P

@section331 Grateful Dead sings National Anthem, Lincecum “getting ready” in the clubhouse….

I thought those were some bums they found on Haight.
Time to make this game thread rock.
?

What the hell is that block of cheese doing there?
Placido should have a Milton Bradley game named after him.
Placido Kerplunko.
I came very close to posting this myself but figured you had a better one in mind.
I could have gone the easy route with an impotency joke.
Flaccido Nogoplumpo
This is the reason I didn't buy a Joe Flacco jersey.
I have heard he was opposed to going long.
He really only has problems with the slant.
He'd has to watch his friend stuff it into the hole?
No wonder the guy always goes to the running game too early.
He does

It’s called, “Fuck Charlie Manuel”

Strikeouts are more fun Timmy.
He's being more democratic this game.
That Napa commerical needs to be shot.
Fuck this NAPA commercial.

Wow

Andres Torres looks like Guti's fat cousin that wanted to take over the drug cartel but didn't have the cajones.
But he's slim and athletic, no?
And was way better than Guti this year.
He's short and average widthed
Guti could totally pull off drug cartel.
Are you saying Guti has grande cajones?
That is why you don't bunt!
That was actually a smart and well-executed hit and run.
So there goes one no-hitter.
This ump is doing a good job - Halladay is living about 3-5 inches off the outside corner to left handers and a lot of umps will give him that.
The fielding in the NL this postseason has been hard to watch.
At times (like just then) it's been great to watch.
I've found that the NL often plays like the ball was made of shower soap.
Rob Johnson would be perfect in the NL.
Because he's gay?
He said NL, not anal.
I was thinking he meant Rob likes to drop the soap.
These terms do not go together
Anyone seen any signs?

Perhaps one about last night’s meal being not up to par?

We're not in Philadelphia.
I assume they travelled.
So it's settled then.

The Giants must lose tonight.

Yeah, I saw one. It said "LAST NIGHTS MEAL WAS NOT UP TO PAR!"

Does that count?

"What the fuck are you looking at man?!?"

Awesome unwarranted aggression.

GO PHILADELPHIA!

I WANT TO SEE THE SIGNS AGAIN

:(

Win this one game and not any other game!
Roy's trying out a new look.

It appears that Cody Ross is dressed as blackface.
This would explain why he got so much better at baseball.
He needs all that because it's really sunny in SF.
Should have waited til next game to pull that one out.
That's over my head.

Oh wait. I get it. Unintentional.

Also, it's overcast and was raining before the game.
I hear those stadium lights aren't working either.
Sandoval appears to have his own gravitational pull.
Roy's just throwing a lot of sliders.
Ugh.
I mean, yeah, dude is so fat he could be Silva's brother!
He's not large enough to be spherical, much like Phoebos and Demos
So rather, he's potato shaped.
To be fair, the Earth isn't spherical either. It's an oblate spheroid.
That's because of centrifugal force, though, not a want of gravity.
That happens to every guy in the morning. You're not that special.
John, Oler,ud, sucked.
Phillies are weilding a 100 pitch Halladay
Feline AIDS is the number one killer of domestic cats.
I think your trying to say he's FAT.
We get it Tim, hes big.
I keep thinking of him as "Fat Panda" in my mind.
Jeff is so lazy. Can't even join us in the game thread.

http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2010/10/21/1765987/phillies-vs-giants-nlcs-game-5-tim-lincecum-roy-halladay-world-series

I need to buy some shampoo...
In-game Jeff has been forced into servitude in a forum that may or may not actually exist
Sounds like a Kafka story.
I woke up today and I found that I was a giant banana.
That happens to every guy in the morning. You're not that special.
That movie looks pretty good.
Halladay is TOAST.
I kind of like the All State Meyhem guy.
I only like him because he was on Rescue Me and Oz.
And 30 Rock too I think.
Every single time I get a new appreciation for how much Joe Buck annoys me.
He is the god damned worst.
What the freaknic happened there?
Sandoval forgot where the base was.
Two fucking ugly plays in one.
That was the most bizarre sac bunt I've ever seen.
That was bullshit.
The only thing that makes that more hilarious is if Halladay runs to first and is safe.
How the fuck does the home plate ump miss that?
Fuck all of this. Fuck it all.
That was a mistake of a pitch.
This is not the game I thought I was going to watch,
Yankees play tomorrow.
That is the game I thought I was not going to watch.
Fuck that game.
It'll probably last long than 4 hours so you should call your doctor.
Afterward, the dead blood is released and the area around the stadium turns gangrenous.

This would apply regardless of the home park in that series.

Ibanez beat out Sandoval to the bag.

Even the tortoise can outrun a snail.

Please keep the Timmy closeups to a minimum, Fox.
Lincecum's fastball sucks now.
Lincecum is having a rough time.

Tonight he definitely needs to relax over a home cooked meal.

What was the meaning behind that sign?
Some handsome and brilliant anarchist decided it would be a good sign for game six. Can't remember who exactly.
As bad as Linceum is doing, I think we can all agree he is no Jeremy Fikac.
There is only one Jeremy Fikac.
That contract is sooooooooooooooo bad.
Ryan Howard?

Barry Zito?

Howard in this instance.
Barry Zito is not on the Giants' playoff rosters.
Yeah I forgot.

Not watching the game, just following the game thread and those stood out as the biggest offenders on the involved teams.

Jose Lopez?
Lopez is on the best possible contract imaginable.
Whichever contract he signs this offseason, I mean.
As long as he signs for NottheMariners $X/Years it's a great contract.
Touch hat, swipe letters = hit & run.
Lincecum in the hole!
What was Eric Wedge doing on the promo for the Good Guys?
That would have been incredible.
This game's only getting stranger.
Chase Utley is single handedly trying to bring national attention to the flaws in UZR.
Does not account for CLUTCH!

See: Jeter, Derek.

Plan for hitters

hit it to the right side.

Based on his height compared to the 5'10 Freddy Sanchez, I think today's home plate umpire might be Dikembe Mutombo
Timmy doesn't look amazing.
Ring around the rosey a Buster full of Posey....
I am the first person ever to think of this I'm sure.
Well, other than

Jay

I'm going to try again and fail better.
you get a rec when I get back to the computer
(I am presently out drinking/eating)

Founder’s Dirty Bastard Ale is pretty awesome.

Noted.

Will put on “To Drink” list.

Add Ithaca's Flower Power to the list if you end up on the east coast.

It’s like Elysian’s jasmine IPA, but more intent on kicking one’s ass. Surprising, for a hippie-named beer

I can't get enough of the Jasmine IPA.

I get so sad when they tell me they have no more. Sad face.

Another term for "Posey" is "Nosegay."
The term's original is literally "to keep the nose gay," as in "happy," and it referred to a bunch of flowers with strong scents.
Bust her nose gay is probably an illegal position in Utah
Bust her posey, then, would be akin to deflowering.
SOMEONE WARN JOSH WILSON
He is a delicate flower
Cody Ross is a golden god.
Except that was kinda dumb.
My world is shattered.
Did Lincecum have a herpie explosion?
One. Singular. Herpie.
I feel like that should count as 1/3 of a strikeout.
Why does Jack Wilson always win at tag?
Because no one likes to chase ugly!
The camera cannot see Lincecum over the dugout fence
Perhaps I am in error
I saw a SF player in the dugout that looked like he needed a booster seat, you see.

Not much of a Giant. ha ha ha

I rolled on the floor and subsequently laughed my ass off.

Though now I am not sure how to sit down without my rear.

What is the best place to sell an old bike?
Craigslist, Uribe.
No, I don't like this one very much. I'll have to think of another.
Errors!
I swear I see awfulness like this much more when I watch NL games
It's as though they aren't really playing the game the right way.
I don't remember Halladay being quite such a whiny bitch
RALLY TIME BITCHES
All I could picture then was lawn darts.
It's because Ibanez throws like he's using his weak hand.
He's so good at fielding he needs a challenge.
He came up as a catcher.

Imagine!

That is news to me. Watching him throw to second would be amazing.
Attempts to throw out baserunners would have looked like that Halladay bunt earlier.
"When you're running the bases, depth perception is very important."

Thanks Tim.

Have you ever seen a one-eyed baseball player?

I always wondered about that in that one episode of Futurama.

No, but I've seen a one eyed bat.

Hahaha penis joke.

Genital humor has been poorly received of late.

Alley oop…

Calling Decatur...
But we have been open to humoring genitals.
You let me down, Decatur.
You are a cockwagon.
I just looked up what this means and realized it doesn't make much sense.

Maybe PENIS PENIS PENIS would be more appropriate.

Sometimes I watch a player on the Mariners do terrible.

and I think about that family guy clip about the no armed second baseman. “Which calls to mind the question, once again, why with all the 2 armed youngsters waiting in the minor leagues does this team stick with an armless second baseman”

“And he hasn’t had a hit in ever.”
“In ever Jerry. In ever.”

WATER IS COMING OUT OF THE SKY
OH FUCK PATHETIC FALLACY
Wasn't Million Dollar Baby Eastwood's masterpiece?
Unforgiven
That movie is pretty sweet.
Acting and directing-wise, yes.
We don't complain about Werth needing a haircut.
He should grow on Afro.

and everyone else on the team should shave their heads.

Then the Phillies would be Jayson and the afro-nots.
But doesn't he already possess a golden fleece?
this is also getting a rec later
Yeah America!

U.S.A!!!

Who just turned on a baseball game?

This guy.

I feel old school.
Does your TV have 13 channels plus UHF?
It has at least 13 channels, but no UHF.

Honestly, I don’t even know what UHF is beyond a Weird Al song and movie…

That's as much as most people know.

It was an alternate frequency that had mostly public acceess type programming from what I understand.

Huh... the things I've missed out on in life.

Public access is always infinitely much enticing in theory than in practice.

Goddess Kring.
Don't get me started.
Mike Hunt?
Mostly Kring, but Mike was a peach too.
That was the channel where I first learned that bottles could be used for something other than holding liquid.

After which point my mom walked in and I was grounded for a month.

I remember one where she had her vag on the green screen and she would then jump through the green screen.

Gross.

This is getting out of hand so I'd like to call a halt to the discussion.
Thank you kind sir.
But the Giants are doing well so...

Causation!

I'm watching the CapSea show.
Oh, hey.

Those old pictures of you on FB? Awesome. Both Laura and I really liked them.

Daguerrotype was an exceptional form of photography
it's the schlongest running show on television.
No tip for you, my funny friend.
The other game on here is Oregon/UCLA.

This seems odd.

Oregon is #1 in AP. Crazy.
Not BCS.

Thats crazy.

The BCS is the old Politburo in disguise
New Oregon people will conquer cosmic space!
Seriously, enough of Ohio hogging the spotlight.
Why haven't they mentioned how polite Posey is yet?
I find it astonishing enough that a young catcher gloved a difficult pitch.
These fans are terrible at catching.
I'm sure they still think they could manage better
This game needs more God Bless America.
Who's singing tonight?
I dunno. They're still in the 6th. I just want this game to hurry.
Well that was not what I was expecting.
Fat Toad.
Irabu?
Woah, I just looked up this story.

Crazy.

Wow, that guy was quite the arsehole.
Imagine what baseball would be like had he succeeded in buying the Cleveland Indians.
We could have had Wedge a lot earlier!
God, thats an enlightening read.
I think it would have been a better nickname for Sandoval.
WHY CAN NONE OF YOU FIELD?
Not a great game for the right side of the infield.
Thank god Ibanez is a Philly.
Damnit Rollins.
His name is Jimmy.

He was destined to steal things.

Lineout double play!
That was fortunate.
Oh fortuna! Your circle has finally turned to me!
Oh drama

Oh first WS appearance since ’02

WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT IS THIS?
WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT IS THIS?
Is this a drag queen?
It is SF
WHAT THE FUUUCK.
JESUS CHRIST THAT CHRISTMAS TREE CAN TALK
I just fucking choked on my popcorn.
That hat will shield her from rain and possibly meteor strikes
I went to this show. And walked out.
Well, may as well have the worst dressed tranvestite in history sing the worst patriotic song in history.
Only in San Fran.
Or Capitol Hill.
'Tho not a transvestite.
Did that sound as amazing as it looked?
That MLB network commercial has a glaring lack of Eric Byrnes.
Eric Byrnes in a suit is like a dog in a Halloween costume.
More like

This is utterly tasteless and will be recced later.
Romo does not look like his gameday photo.
Jesus, Giants - make it happen.
NO

SIGNS

That kind of looked like Rollins could have got there.
He is known as the BJ Upton of shortstops.
Perhaps Rollins should consider using his glove to try to get the ball.
Chalupa - Spanish for small boat.
Less delicious than a small donkey.
Girardi gets good and deep in there.
Fuck you, Utley.
What the fuck was that hopping thing that white dude did.
It's a white thing, you wouldn't understand.
Not jumping, that's for damned sure.
Panda trying to jump yesterday was pretty entertaining.
I wish there was a realistic chance of Ackley urning into Utley.
Mix their ashes.
Took me a minute to catch that one. Well done.
That sounds like hoodoo to me.

I’m on boards.

So he really is Castro.
That is a voluptuous beard he has going on.
There goes an ankle.
Give it the ol' Schilling!
Penny for the old guy
So I didn't miss a pitching duel, then.
You missed the most memorable god bless america singing ever.
I saw the outfit.

I liked that they thought to ask someone from such a SF institution

I predict a Ryan Howard K.
Sorry. MobiLLe cut off.

I predict a Ryan Howard Kickass fly out to left field.

You done goofed.
Eric Wedge is getting interviewed on FSN
"Changeup"

“My mistake, that was a fastball”

Good grief.

LONG FLY BALL DEEP...

And it’s caught at the warning track.

I don't feel so good about this game anymore.
I feel fantastic.

Signs!

I don't like your signs.
Who'll pitch for the Phillies next game*?

*If necessary?

Surprise!

Moyer!

Old man is not on the playoff roster.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccckkkkkkkkk
Interestingly, this counts as zero.
God I hate that fucking hillbilly.
If those sign dudes don't copy one of my ideas I'm going to fly to Philadelphia and rip off their testicles.
I cheered for your team for this game!
You should get this printed in the paper like the Zodiac Killer.
I was wondering if Sandoval could make that play
Affeldt looks like Olsen with a beard.
Didn't Olson have a beard towards the end of the season?
But he didn't use Just for Men
These John Hancock commercials annoy me because the questions that they ask are not the type that would cause someone to pause and think.
Lidge in. Game not over.
Oh this would be incredible!
Close the books on this one.
Too bad they can't celebrate at home.
They can do that in the WS. This way, more baseball!
I was really optimistic about a full on meltdown. Darn!~
Why was that gentleman not throwing fastballs?
Bollocks.
Bollocks on signs?
Dude, this is a family blog. Let's keep the bad language to a minimum.
The gentleman interviewing Jayson Werth is very short.
I think he's standing in a hole
Hahahaha-Ken Rosenthal looks like a munchkin from Oz next to Halladay and Werth.
Next to most people...
I know Halladay is 6'6 but never knew Rosenthal was so tiny. He's always standing on steps.
Oh he's a tiny man.
He should carry a step stool.
.

@Ken_Rosenthal OK, let's get this on the record: I am 5-foot-4 1/2 - and don't forget the half! EVERY player is taller than me - some more than others!
