JSngry Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 Not a horrible call to send the runner, but not a good move by the batter to not protect the plate at all on that pitch, made the throw out waaaaay too easy for a good arm like Posey. atter's got to know the situation there and not take a called strike 3. If in doubt, protect! And Cincinatti's since had ample opportunities to get tied. They're just not getting it done and/or SF is coming up big (aka that catch to end the 8th, hey, what can you say other than wow, that's it right there?). Quote
Matthew Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Posted October 11, 2012 Very tense last couple of innings, but the Giants won. I thought that Romo would blow it for sure. Quote
Matthew Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Posted October 11, 2012 GIANTS WIN!!!!!!!!! WOO-HOO!!! Really, a great comeback by the Giants, I didn't think they could pull it off. You know Dusty must be dying over this one. It will be interesting if Lincecum will start in the next series or not, I don't see how Zito can be allowed to start. If they play the Cardinals, the Giants will have home field advantage. Quote
JSngry Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 Game 3 was huge, the Homer Bailey game. You lose a game like that,like the Reds did, it's usually indicative of shit's not gonna go your way for a while. Quote

If they play the Cardinals, the Giants will have home field advantage. I don't know which team would be tougher. The Red Birds have been there before. The Nats seem like this year's version of the Not Ready for Prime Time Players out there, but have been kicking butt all season long. Home feild would be a plus, though. Game 3 was huge, the Homer Bailey game. You lose a game like that,like the Reds did, it's usually indicative of shit's not gonna go your way for a while. That E6 opened the flood gates, to be sure. On to the NLCS! Edited October 11, 2012 by GoodSpeak Quote
JSngry Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 Showing His Werth # Can I Get A Gig writing headlines for espn.com?and oh by the way - that Nats pen today. WOW! Quote
Neal Pomea Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 Zimmermann and Clippard struck out the side in 7 and 8. Don't know what Storen did in 9, but the bullpen did better today! All bets off for tomorrow. The "Werth it" meme has to do with bitter fans who thought the owners spent too much on his contract. There's always people concerned about how somebody else spent their own money. Quote
BERIGAN Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 Scott Rolen is likely to retire...a possible HOF'er, I've heard a few managers say he was the best 3rd basemen they've ever seen.. http://www.cbssports.com/general/blog/eye-on-baseball/20546139/scott-rolen-sounds-like-hes-going-to-retire Quote
Neal Pomea Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 Felt bad for Rolen on that error. But it takes a whole lot of plays to win or lose a single game, much less a series. Quote
Stefan Wood Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 Werth's home run came at the end of one of the best at bats I have ever seen. There are a lot of happy faces in DC. And I'm not even a baseball fan. Quote
Tim McG Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 Felt bad for Rolen on that error. But it takes a whole lot of plays to win or lose a single game, much less a series. Even if they got the out, the game would have still been tied. Basking in the glow of yet another Giants road victory Werth's home run came at the end of one of the best at bats I have ever seen. There are a lot of happy faces in DC. And I'm not even a baseball fan. That was cool. But the Nats are seriously struggling to win the series. I'm guessing Game 5 won't be as pretty. Quote
Mike Schwartz Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 With the O's just winning in the 13th, every series have gone the distance. Some compelling baseball games, with the exception of the Tigers/A's finale being one sided. Quote

JSngry Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 Verlander single-handedly made the Oaklands look down and not look back up. They didn't want to, but Verlander took away all other options. This was no minor feat on Verlander's part, btw. The Oaklands have been refusing to not look down without evenutually forcing a look back up, and a look back up of never-going-to-die on their face more strongly each time. Every time you thought you had them down, that's get back up with a look of fortified invincible insanity drooling out of their pores. Werth's walk-off and 15 innings of Skinny Girl ball in the Bronx were all post-season drama-packed post-season instant post-season memories of the post-season, but if you wanted sheer Day Of Reckoning baseball, where a beast had been unleashed that was threatening to take over the world and it had come to the point where the fate of said world rested in one man's hands alone, that came was last night in Oakland, and that man was Justin Verlander and he did stop the insanity once and for all. Not often does a 6-0 final reflect an Epic Battle Final Showdown, but this one was exactly that. There's a "based on a true story" fantasy/sci-fi movie to be made out of this and all that led up to it...or maybe that's what all this has been all along... Quote
Quincy Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 the league finals and world series can't equal these fine games. Why not? Last year's World Series surpassed these current fine games. Quote
Matthew Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Posted October 12, 2012 ARod on bench for game five. Now we will be subjected to a million shots of ARod on the bench, looking pensive, clapping when his replacement gets a hit, gazing off into space... Quote

Quincy Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 Gotcha. Thing is Cano, Ichiro, Swisher & The Grandy Man (Can't) have all stunk too. But the Yankees have better replacement options with Alex at least when facing right handed pitching. Woo hoo, it's time for baseball again! Quote
Matthew Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) And the Yankees are still on the hook with ARod for what? five years at 25 million per year????????? Edited October 12, 2012 by Matthew Quote

I've seen these numbers quoted, can't vouch for their accuracy though. 2013: $28M (age 37) 2014: $25M (38) 2015: $21M (39) 2016: $20M (40) 2017: $20M (41) Quote
