Ok, I have tried to remain in the positive emotions wrt lo cain. But fuck it, I hate him now.

Damn, Joe Panik. That was awesome.

Usually diving into first makes you look like that douchebag Nick Punto, but that was the only reason that play was close.

Indisputable or not, he was out.

ETA: props to Giants video review dude, Shawon Dunston.

Should everybody be tagging up from second on a fly ball to left?

howard · Post by **howard** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 8:33 pm

Into 'The Firm' (Herrera, Davis, Holland) in the fourth inning. I think that is a good sign. Maddy will be joining us soon; don't know if that is a good or bad sign.

That was a fun night.

Hell yeah it was. I got a kick out of watching L-Jam get super excited about the perfecto while almost everyone else wanted to watch the NBA playoffs.

When the left fielder is on their back foot, moving backwards.

Is Hunter Pence actually athletically awkward Rob Lowe?

I'm deep in self loathing after my legit LOL at the newest Lowe commercial.

I think they're hilarious, especially the creepy Rob Lowe one.

He watches people swim. At least a giggle for that.

I think that's it. They eschew cliche creepy and come up with actually clever creepy things. Like this one got me when he said he hopes it's not a girl.

howard · Post by **howard** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 8:53 pm

Come on, Buster! Erase all the disappointment with one swing.

ETA: damn, got him on two changeups, followed by heat.

I wanted to be super creepy rob Lowe for Halloween.

This booth has been very bad, but I did have an "atleast there's no McCarver" moment when they talked about Posey being in between and it wasn't followed by a 3 minute McCarver monologue on what that phrase means.

howard · Post by **howard** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 9:04 pm

Maddy searching for his release point.

For a party but the wife and I are going as jenn and juice. I wanted to do an oj jersey but instead will be cranberry juice

Typical Maddy rough first inning. He'll settle. Shit, he might even finish, but that is looking way too far ahead.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 9:19 pm

Was ... was that Loudon Wainwright in a Walmart commercial?

In the future, if someone tells me a game “feels like Game 7 of the World Series,” I will kindly tell them, no. No, it does not

howard · Post by **howard** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 9:26 pm

Gonna take some stones to take the ball from Maddy and hand it to Romo. He must start the 7th.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 9:35 pm

I don't see a *need* to take him out unless he looks gassed when Cain's turn comes up. As good as your relievers results are, there are like 5 Royals I take ahead of them so I'd ride him out.

A lot of talking about "riding" pitchers in a way I'm not entirely comfortable with. We are men, not beasts.

It appears the madbum may be a beast

ok, i am prepared to revise my views on gun control.

Jose Canseco accidentally shoots himself in the hand, police say

A retort (from some yahoo)

Aaron Bond ‏@adbondlex now3 seconds ago

@OldHossRadbourn it would appear that the Mad Bum Rasputingarner may indeed be a beast.

I'm sure there's a german phrase for "something I would have predicted had it ever occurred to me to consider predicting it".

Davis starting his third inning. Impressive. Get to him.

Edit: nevermind, I can't count.

Without the various interents and social medias, I'd be a wreck. Need a degree of distraction.

Can you get a win and a save in the same game?
