This has to be the un-clutch-est defense I've ever seen.
All year they've been doing this shit.

Good. Lord.

Posey wasn't even breaking. AT ALL. Davis could have hung back and played that ball even with the bag. He could have stayed where he was, at the first-base cutout. He could have waited, gotten in front of it, let it hit him in the chest, then scooped it up and been able to throw home if necessary.

[Frayed Knot]

And yet another infield hit that could have been turned but wasn't.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Of course it's Scutaro, who couldn't start the DP and had the ball go off his glove during the Mets rally. In his first game as a Giant. Any other karmic indicators going against the Mets here?

I'm stunned the game didn't end there.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Edgin with the big balls there. How about getting a lead that not even Acosta can blow?

[Edgy MD]

Team effort both ways here.

Still, Terry, you shouldna pulled Rauchie.

[Frayed Knot]

Y'know, it's bad enough to cling to strict notions about who has to pitch the 8th inning and who has to pitch the 9th - but it's even worse to reserve the 9th inning for someone who has never shown the slightest hint of earning that kind of respect.
And then to just hand it to him following a 7-pitch 1-2-3 8th inning where no PH was needed ...

[Frayed Knot]

Thank god Hairston showed up tonight.
Lord knows that the rest of the middle of the lineup hasn't.


We're back to having a Hairy good time again.

[Edgy MD]

Don't touch my Hair!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

THIS CAN BE YOURS, CONTENDING TEAMS, IF YOU BUY NOW!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

You magnificent hairy bastard. Good luck wherever Sandy sends you.

Golden Sombrero, Iron Glove. Ike's left one big Anchor Steamer on the field tonight.

Plus the cement head for not getting the DP earlier.

[Edgy MD]

Welcome Bax.

[Frayed Knot]

Jason Bay = on-base machine tonight!

Maybe overdue for a night off.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Mike F*cking Baxter.

[Frayed Knot]

I'll give Bay this, he's a good base runner.
I was screaming 'Stay at 2nd!' on Baxter's hit.


oe - and that base just created a run

Now we just need 3 or 4 more to make this Acosta-proof

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Can't anybody here play this game?

[Frayed Knot]

Tejada's another one who's had a tough night.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Angry Bruce Bochy is fun to watch. From a safe distance.

Well, yes. Something that big blows, it could cause a singularity.

Acostalypse, now.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Of course he walks the leadoff batter.

[Frayed Knot]

Nice that the pr assignment in the last inning got Posey out of the game.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Getting Cabrera is big, but Acosta doesn't seem to appreciate the gift that is Eli Whiteside in Posey's spot.

[Frayed Knot]

Ah yes, the old 'retire the all-star but walk the chumps' strategy.

[Edgy MD]

Let's. Wrap. This. Up.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

OK, two out. They can't blow a potential game-ending DP. At least not in this inning.

[Edgy MD]

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
