Logan fucking Webb.

That high didn't last long... Posting at 7-2 down.

Fucking A+ win for the Giants last night. Evan Longoria going to go down in the giants history books like Cody Ross and Edgar Rentaria. Hope they wrap it up tonight and win it in front of the LA crowd.

Hilarious that after all this time the Giants are still struggling to get respect... all I've been reading about all day is the "wind" and how it prevented Lux' home run in the 9th, without mentioning that the Giants had to deal with that same wind and Longoria managed to hit a home run against that same wind.

Been a pretty awesome post season so far. After Game 1, I was pretty convinced the Rays were going to run straight through everybody all the way to the WS and the ended up being the first to get bounced. Everyone is really evenly matched, with no clear front runner.

Even though I want the Astros to lose every game for the rest of existence (sorry whitemanjazz) an Astos/Dodgers World Series would be one spectacular clusterfuck of must-watch entertainment.

I swear to god if it's Astros vs Giants I won't watch a single pitch. And I fucking love sports so much. Only other time that happened was the 2005 NBA Finals. Pistons vs Spurs. Fuck both those teams and I didn't watch a single game. I can usually pick one team to root against but Astros Vs Giants would be like Hitler vs the Devil or Alien Vs Predator. Whoever wins, we all lose.

I understand the Astros hate completely, but comparing a baseball team to hitler? Yeeesh….

Go giants. I’m All for baseball chaos. And hearing the crowds boo Altuve only for him to crank 2 or 3 run shots lmao

Glue Reed · « **Reply #338 on:** October 14, 2021, 12:17:49 PM »

It’s been funny watching teams accuse the Astros of cheating them but they can never win (or score) at their home ballpark.

This game tonight is going to be one for the ages…. I really wish Kershaw wasn’t hurt because this is exactly the type of post season game he would blow. Hoping Webb is on point and Lincecum throws out the first pitch.

pugmaster · « **Reply #339 on:** October 14, 2021, 08:15:16 PM »

This LA and SF series has been incredible. Both teams are playing really well. The fact LA is doing this without Kershaw is pretty impressive.

In my mind this is the world series. I breifly checked the records of the other teams and there was no one close in terms of wins as LAD and SF Giants.

That umpire crew was fucking awful. So many bad strike calls, and then the check swing that wasn’t. Awful. * in my book.

Umpires and refs are sketchy. There is all kinds of nba footage online of refs openly talking about what the outcome of the game will be to players.

Sigh…

As much as it pains me to say, they’re a play off tested team with lots of clutch hitters from top of the line up, to the bottom.

Glue Reed · « **Reply #345 on:** October 15, 2021, 07:05:54 AM »

That last call was awful, and extra-awful considering it ended the season.

That being said, the Giants didn’t do shit offensively the whole game (whole series, really). Crazy that Logan Webb basically held that shit on his shoulders the entire time. The umpires were terrible and that sucks, but you need to get hits and score runs instead of wait for breaks or freak errors to win a game.

If it ends up Red Sox vs Dodgers in the WS I may vomit all over myself.

I am incredibly happy, but Hernandez (whom the Astros had along with JD Martinez) is an October baseball bEaSt. What the fuck…

It’s pronounced “key Kay” and it’s pretty common shortening of Enrique.

So he should change his name because you do not know how to pronounce it? Why should he do that?

I'm still leaning assimilation here guys. A little goes a long way to unite us as a peoples.

Damn… Braves up 2-0 on two walk offs. Fuck you Scherzer. Nothing like getting hot at the right moment!

The more I think about it the more pissed I am about the shit call to end the Giants series. Yeah they weren’t hitting but they’re professional athletes and anything could’ve happened had the ump made the correct call. They got fucking screwed.

Silky Johnson · « **Reply #358 on:** October 18, 2021, 11:16:31 AM »

Not a fan of any of the remaining teams whatsoever, but Atlanta is most definitely the most likable of the bunch.

Well…. Goodluck Atlanta.
