World Series Game 2: Giants@Royals

[Minneapolis Millers]

Early hook after two seeing eye hits.

 

[Al Zarilla]

None of the three amigos is a lefty. Finnegan now? Again, have these Fox bozos told us who was warming?

 

[Don Bradman]

 
Don't trade for Righetti -- trade for Pac Bell!

Allan Craig for several tons of garlic fries?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Don't trade for Righetti -- trade for Pac Bell!

Nobody's untouchable, except maybe Papi. But I wouldn't trade Fenway for Mike Trout and Clayton Kershaw.

You may not agree with his point of view, but I gotta say Harold Reynolds is really good.  His enthusiasm for the game is infectious.

I disagree. He never points out anything I can't see on the screen myself. And, he's wrong a lot. Tonight: "you can run on Peavy." Stats say the opposite. He's horrible, worst ever for me and I go back to Gowdy, Mel Allen...

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I actually think Reynolds is good on the nightly MLBTV show -- doing stuff like showing how to do the turn on a double play or get in cut off position. He has some substance to him, and is good on doing highlights, but I just don't like him as a number 2 in the booth.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Does this hold true for anyone else here?
 
Q: What were you hoping for most to happen in Game 1?
 
A: For James Shields to suck.
 
Q: Which player are you pulling for the most in Game 2?
 
A: Jake Peavy.
 
Q: So you must want the Giants to win the series?
 
A: Hell no. Go Royals.

 

[hitatater]

New to Giqnts Baseball; panda pitches, too?

 

[shawnrbu]

Wave 'em in Cain.
 
KC is so much more fun than the Giants.

 

[InsideTheParker]

KC should win this game now.

 

[rembrat]

Too bad Bum dude can't pitch everyday. Go Royals!

 

[hitatater]

In real time, there was no hope in sending Cain.  But he scores with no throw. Wow.  Speedy speed.

Exactly

 

[shawnrbu]

Yost being Yost taking Butler out in the 6th for a pinch runner up by 1.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

No bunt? With that bullpen?

 

[InsideTheParker]

Uh oh. I find I can't root against Lopez. I was much fonder of him as a Red Sock than the rest of you.

 

[nattysez]

Nm

 

[DJnVa]

Here's why Harold Reynolds and I will never get along. He termed the Giants bunting early in game 1 as "going for the throat".

 

[glasspusher]

Hunter Strickland, folks! What'll it be tonight?

 

[shawnrbu]

Is this a joke? Peavy sucks. You would have left him in to face the heart of the Royals' order? Really?

 
The post was for Ventura in the Top of the 6th.

 

[glasspusher]

Mr well dressed put a car together looks like he never got grease on his hands ever

 

[DJnVa]

Oh, Harold, 20 mph in a school zone is not a ticket.

 

[glasspusher]

wow, wp just squeaked by Buster

 

[glasspusher]

Strickland, gas on a fire.

 

[rembrat]

Sally Perez is a bull of a man.

 

[singaporesoxfan]

Just for comparison to that 20.3 mph stat for Lorenzo Cain, Usain Bolt's 9.63s for the 100m at the 2012 Olympics was 23.35 mph.

 

[Sprowl]

In real time, there was no hope in sending Cain.  But he scores with no throw. Wow.  Speedy speed.

 
And a lousy pickup and throw by Ishikawa.
 

Hunter Strickland, folks! What'll it be tonight?

Tonight's version will be Hunter Stricken.

 

[rembrat]

NOT BORING NOT BORING NOT BORING

 

[glasspusher]

wow, just wow

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Wow. The Royals are back from vacation!

 

[InsideTheParker]

Applause!

 

[rembrat]

THE GIANTS ARE BUTTMAD

 

[singaporesoxfan]

La petite Infante can't steal.

 

[glasspusher]

Hunter and Perez talking trash!

 

[rembrat]

Did Strictland call Perez "boy?" Ummmm.

 

[Ed Hillel]

lolmadpitcher

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Did Strictland call Perez "boy?" Ummmm.

Yeah I saw that, too...

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Strickland needs his diaper changed apparently.

 

[Wingack]

Did Strictland call Perez "boy?" Ummmm.

 
Strickland is rising to the top of my most disliked player list. What an ass.

 

[DJnVa]

Hunter Strickland, formerly of the Sox organization, has given up 5 bombs in 5.1 IP this postseason. You can't bring him out there Bochy.

 

[LuckyBen]

Strickland needs his diaper changed apparently.

What the hell is his problem? It's his own fault he sucks.

 

[singaporesoxfan]

Every time this girl in the Applebee's commercial says "I'm old enough to know what love is", I want the parents to come back with a gospel-chorus "I want you to show me"

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

See, the Adam Laroche deal was smart.

 

[nattysez]

 
The post was for Ventura in the Top of the 6th.

 
I realized it as soon as I hit "post," but you caught it before I my edit got in, apparently.
 
My point stands -- 5 IP, 4 ER is about what you can expect from Peavy.  He is not good.
 
Oh, and Strickland's an embarrassment.

 

[DJnVa]

Did Strictland call Perez "boy?" Ummmm.

 
Well, I'm not sure we should damn him with lip-reading, but Perez isn't black. Is boy banned all around?

 

[Section15Box113]

18th round in 2007.  Dealt for LaRoche.

 

[DJnVa]

Well, Harold, Strickland was staring at Perez when yelling---why do you think he was yelling at himself?

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol what did he do?

 

[Paradigm]

Bumgarner can slow any team down. The risk is that there's a spillover effect that makes the next day's starting pitcher look even better. Royals came THIS CLOSE to that happening, they made Peavy look pretty good out there. But this inning may change the entire complexion of the series. Middle of the Giants bullpen is just no match for Royals.
