Tense Sox game in the making. 3 to 3 against the Mariners and Brandon Morrow is gunning down our batters with his 99 mph fastball. Manny Ramirez has hit his 499th home run and Daisuke had to leave the game with an unknown injury.

Giants ride Lincecum for a 6-3 W. Molina is just on fire!

 

[Ender Rises]

Texas gets another win! Man, they're doing a lot better than I thought this season.

 

[cookiecutter]

Josh Hamilton ftw

 

[Ender Rises]

No kidding. He's kind of a bad ass, especially just coming off of that suspension for drugs.

Sucks to be Basilisk

And another Giants victory over Arizona last night.

And I said that because you keep exclaiming how well Arizona is doing, when twice in a row now they've been beaten by a team that has a pretty shitty record so far this season

 

[BasilisK]

Well to be fair, I've been clear about their struggles since April. And for whatever reason, Arizona is notorious for faceplanting in front of San Francisco. Just one of those weird things that can't be explained... been that way for years. Wouldn't shock me to see them be charitable to Zito tonight.


Anyway, I don't think too many people are worried about the Gnats blasting out of the cellar and making a run for the pennant. A sweep tonight would put them 7 games back. You can very nearly get a whiff of second place from there

Besides, didn't you dump SF for Oakland? :Smug:

lol because that's so relevant to my previous observation.

 

[seedofvengeance]

So... uh... how 'bout that Josh Hamilton?

 

[Matt]

The Gents fucking RAPED your ass, Basilisk

So... uh... how 'bout that Josh Hamilton?

People have compared him to Mickey Mantle. Except with heroin instead of booze.

 

[seedofvengeance]

He's probably going to win the triple crown in the American League this year.
Despite the Rangers' mediocrity, I have to see every game, just to see what he does.

 

[Matt]

He won't keep it up

 

[seedofvengeance]

Yes he will.

If you're looking for the relevant part to your previous observation, you might try checking the large group of words you deleted from the quote before you posted this.

Expert analysis.

No question Arizona played like shit, but I don't think one Gnats series win would be a "rape". They gained a few games on a couple teams playing even worse than they are, and Arizona kept the same lead in the division they had before the series started - the largest division lead in the majors.





The real shitty thing tonight would be Randy's luck. Got a no-decision which delays win number 300, and only tied Clemens' record at number two behind Ryan on the all-time strikeouts list (which is almost like first since that record is untouchable). So he'll break the record on the road at Miller Park Would have been much more satisfying tonight at home.

 

[cookiecutter]

I don't think he will. See Derek Lee in 05

 

[seedofvengeance]

Lee is still great if he stays healthy.

Also, Derek Lee never had the talent that Hamilton has. Everyone said he'd be this great before he got into all that drug trouble.

 

[Matt]

Wow - swept by the Giants? That must be pretty embarrassing, humiliating, and extremely unfortunate.
