2009 SF Giants Thread

[BritishColumbia]

I *REALLY REALLY* hope Sabean doesn't succumb to trading a top-tier prospect (Bumgarner, Villalona, Alderson, or anyone else) for a decent-ish bat ala Jermaine Dye or Mark Teahen.

This team AS IS is pretty good, and only getting better with Scherholtz/Ishikawa hitting their grooves and a plethora of young guns in the minors.

Not to mention the PHENOMINAL pitching staff!

I really hope Sabes doesn't muck it up by giving away the future.

This team should be AWESOME in a few years, no need to muck up for a quick rush to the playoffs.

Especially as this team is showing playoff potential without the worthless old-guy pieces.

I would not touch Bumgarner, Villalona and Buster but I think that Alderson can be tradeable.
If we keep Cain and Tim (I hope so) and add Bumgarner next season, we do not need Alderson that much. May be we can get a good OF or IF prospect for him. Do I want to keep Alderson? Yes, I do ... but may be a good young bat is a better choice for us.

Are the giants on TV tonight?

Nevermind, found it... 715 on comcast.

 

[kingsnation]

12 - 0 !!!

EDIT

13-0!!!!!!! Woohoo!!

 

[BritishColumbia]

It is a crazy game!!!!! Offense is exciting in baseball + solid pitching = the best sport in sports

 

[kingsnation]

13-0 Final. This offense is clicking right now. We are also 13 games over 500 at home.

Vote for Pablo.

 

[kingsnation]

Vote for Pablo.

Yes, many many .... many times!!

I'm sure that Salami he hit last night will greatly increase his chances of getting in.

 

[BritishColumbia]

Today is a tough one .... Zito against Josh Johnson (WHIP 1.13).

 

[BritishColumbia]

Great game by Zito!!!!

With the big guy out, and Sanch in, we need Zito to be good real bad and he did it this time.

 

[Merdiesel]

The more I watch this team the more I think we shouldn't make a trade. These guys are tearing up together as a team and with Randy getting injured we might need to stick Sanchez in his rotation spot. This team is so fun to watch! Go Giants!

^^Vote for the Panda.

Like hundreds of times!

 

[NME]

BOOOO! Victorino made it.

 

[kingsnation]

Yeah, that's stupid. Pablo should've been named outrightly in the first place. His numbers are either equal to or better than all NL 3rd baseman.

 

[BritishColumbia]

I hope he will use his anger to show all those ***** who is the Allstar !!!! Go Giants!!!!!!

 

[Merdiesel]

MLB AllStar game is a popularity contest. So lame. Every team must be represented?.. What kind of bs is that? I'm ok with it if the game doesn't mean something but it does. They need to change how players are voted in if its going to mean something.

 

[kingsnation]

Sanchez is looking good so far tonight. No hitter through 4.

 

[kingsnation]

The Panda has struck again!!!

WOW this kid is amazing. That was Barry territory right there. The fact that he isn't going to be in St. Louis is a shame to the game of baseball.

 

[kingsnation]

Sanchez, perfect game through 7!

 

[Merdiesel]

Now this is how you get back into the starting rotation Sanchez!

 

[kingsnation]

No hitter through 8!! 3 outs to go!

 

[kingsnation]

Here we go..3 more.

 

[kingsnation]

NO HITTER!!

Wow what a game and what a performance by Jonathan Sanchez!! 11 K's. Great to see his dad in attendance and it was the first time ever his dad was able to see him pitch live in the majors.

I really think this had even more significance for Sanchy after being pulled from the rotation though.

But man what a night. It was an honor to see and watch.

Congrats Jonathan.

 

[Merdiesel]

What a play by Rowand!...

First time Sanchez' pops has seen him play here in SF... How great is that!

I'm not gonna lie, definately got a bit choked up.

Truly amazing.

 

[kingsnation]

I'm not gonna lie, definately got a bit choked up.

Same here.

Want to hear something stupid? I just watched the highlights of the game on ESPN.com and the broadcaster called Pablo..

"Pedro Sandoval."

!!! !!!

I mean, seriously.

 

[Jespher]

Awesome game. First Giant to throw a no no since 1976 !

 

[BritishColumbia]

noooooooooooooo hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttteeeeeeeeer !!!!!!!

 

[kingsnation]

Headline from ESPN..

Until Tonight ...
Jonathan Sanchez's never played with his father in attendance. He's never had a shutout. He's never thrown 11 KOs. He's never hurled a no-hitter. Until tonight, indeed.

Love it.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Im no giants fan, but no hitters are fun, congrats Sanchez!

 

[LPKingsFan]

What a game.

 

[SLAB]

That was AWESOME!!!

I thought I was crashing early tonight, but my lord that was a MONSTER shot of adrenaline!

Jonathan Sanchez...Wow! Im so pumped right now!

WOOOOOOO~!!!!
