paul secor Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Not sure I do anymore, but for those who still care: "Spring is the time of year when the ground thaws, trees bud, the income tax falls due - and everyone wins the pennant." - Jim Murray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm actually still hung over from our World Series run. I'm actually not all that fired up for the new season yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim McG Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Just got done watching the World Series highlights on the Giants Network Comcast. What a game seven! Wow. I am just plain stoked for the season to start. :-D GO GIANTS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just plain stoked for the season to start. :-D GO GIANTS!!! Every time I just think about Blanco & Perez screwing up that fly ball, I'm thankful that the Twins didn't send Alex Gordon. I'm still pissed off at them both, can you mess it up more than they did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) If the "Twins" had sent Gordon he'd have been out by 8-10ft. As a Royals fan, I'm VERY glad the "Twins" didn't send him. Edited February 24, 2015 by Scott Dolan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe I said the Twins, I humble myself in sackcloth and ashes over that mistake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Buddy of mine who was in the Pirates organization back in the 60's (made it all the way to AA) was at the game with his wife, and they were seated just behind the third base dugout. He said Usain Bolt wouldn't have made it home on that play. All the replays bear that out as well. The Giants defense was just as airtight as the Royals, and that would have been an incredible embarrassing way to lose Game 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still pissed off at them both, can you mess it up more than they did? My heart just jumped into my throat when that happened. But when Mad Bum induced Salvador Perez [whom I was surprised was still in the game after getting hit at home plate] into a pop-up, I left my seat!

It might have been close, but Blanco has a rifle for an arm. The Royals will be back. Great team. Edited February 24, 2015 by TimMcG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I agree, Scott. It might have been close, but Blanco has a rifle for an arm. The Royals will be back. Great team. In the moment I thought to myself, "man, they should have just sent him". It had the look of an inside-the-parker, and Gordon does have some decent enough wheels. But, once I saw the replay from multiple angles I was completely convinced it was the right call. The Giants are a class organization, and it was an honor to play them for all the marbles. And after a 26 year playoff drought, to then go down to the last out of Game 7 against a team that can be truthfully called a dynasty…eh, I had no complaints. Panda winking into the camera as he was on deck may be one of the most classic moments in MLB history. And players like Pence, Panik, Panda and the Bummer made me an overnight Giants fan. There were no "bad guys" in that series. It was two good guys delivering haymakers, and one of them had to lose. I'm just glad we went down giving you cats everything we had.

Tim McG Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Totally agree. That is why we love this game! Had it gone against my guys, I still would think it was a classic Game 7. Toe to toe, nobody gave an inch. Just what you would expect in a WS. Tell you what, though, the Royals relievers are lock solid unhittable. Wow. Amazing pitching from those guys.

Scott Dolan Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Yeah, the Big Three had a rather historic run last year. You pretty much had to have a lead on us after six, or it was game over. And we're getting Hochevar back this season, which makes that pen even more dangerous. As hard as that is to believe...

Scott Dolan Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yeah, the initial reports do not look promising. Ken Rosenthal tweets: Asked a baseball executive if Hamilton’s discipline was for PEDs. His response: “Worse.” The executive declined to elaborate.

Soulstation1 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Man, Josh Hamilton. Hope he can pull it together It can't be easy for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim McG Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I agree. Been a tough go for him with the prior drug and alcohol abuse. Then there was that Dad who died trying to catch a ball for his kid. Josh Hamilton was his favorite player and he and Josh got watch the man fall and die. I have to believe that still affects him.

JSngry Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 The radioactive creep of the Jerry Jones Death Mojo continues it was to his next-door neighbors. Pitchforks and bonfires and midnight husecalls appear to be the only remedy remaining.

Josh Hamilton was his favorite player and he and Josh got watch the man fall and die. I have to believe that still affects him. Interesting to see the sympathy for Josh Hamilton. I think that he deserves support with what he's going through. But 25-30 years ago, Steve Howe was vilified when he went through similar experiences. I guess times have changed.

JSngry Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Not that much of a Josh Hamilton fan here. Too much drama, not enough desire to be rid of it. If that's 100% fueled by his addiction, then that's too bad. But from all I can tell, his addiction is the sympton, not the cause, and he gives off a lot of vibes that he feels otherwise.

Tim McG Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hunter Pence out for 6-8 weeks. Fractured arm. Should be back mid to late April. Blanco will fill in for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim McG Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 And, TBH, Steve Howe had like 30 chances to sober up. The league gave him every possible opportunity but he still blew it. Darryl Strawberry wasn't much better. Then Stienbrenner would pitch a fit and the league would give Howe yet another chance. Different world now, Paul.
