Support NeoGAF

Damn, still reeling from Saturday's game. I watched the Ravens dominate the Bucs and look great, and I barely could muster a thumbs up.

And as for that JR Orioles post....come on, can't be real. What I can say is that the media really has forced a David vs Goliath storyline onto this series and have made the Orioles out to be some kind of playoff regular, dominant team. It's annoying, and we, as a fanbase, are totally not used to it. I get that one ALCS appearance in 31 years is better than none, but there shouldn't be a "this team deserved it" put on one team over the other. Both teams deserve it, and it's really nice that someone different will be representing the AL. NL, on the other hand.

But I get what JR Orioles is saying, kind of.....he's jealous. I am too. Orioles would have been the underdog, national darlings, and every unaffilliated fan of baseball would have supported us. It would have been nice, but there were probably only two teams that could pull the underdog against the O's, and that be KC and Seattle.

Congrats doyers' fans.

Apparently Ned is staying as a "senior advisor" though!

It's about time the Dodgers' smartened up. Giving that $200M behemoth to too dimwits like Colletti and Mattingly never made sense.

He's basically gonna be Kasten's bitch.

Still would be better than Amaro!

Not sure I agree about the Seattle part.

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Alright Giants, let's do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Game 1 of 5.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

lol Ned. How you gonna get fired but stay at your job?


It'll be interesting to see what Friedman does (if anything) with some of the high price pieces on that roster.

 

[see5harp]

Damn threatening in the first.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Lackey looks terrible. Everything up.

 

[see5harp]

Wow heart of the order came through.

 

[BFIB]

I'm expecting nothing but terrible from the Cards in these games in San Fran. They play terrible there.

 

[see5harp]

I was seriously about to post how both pitchers looking good early but Lackey already at 18 pitches. If Ishikawa comes through here I might have to go against my "no rooting for american born asians rule."

EDIT: Whelp go Asian Americans!!

[Askani]

Oof. That's a rough goddamn start.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Bourjos probably should be started the game with the outfield in AT&T.

 

[geeko]

Hell yeah ishikawa.

 

[Ricker]

Weird reaction by the St-Louis outfielder there...wind is going to mess them up today lol...

Yep, tough place to play. Cards need to just squeak a win, but I think losing Molina is really going to set them back too far.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

I completely forgot the game started so early while I was at work. Turn on a stream and its 4-0 already. Feels good.

 

[zroid]

lolcards

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Kolten Wong the Giant killer.

 

[see5harp]

Hell yea fuck AJ Pierzynski.

 

[BFIB]

Hudson getting that low outside call is going to keep those lefty bats at bay. With losing Molina, playing our worst that we play in that ballpark, this might not even get back to St. Louis.

It wasn't his fucking fault.

Is he still in witness protection?

We're just spotting them an early lead so the inevitable comeback hurts that much more. Got to pay them back for 2012.

yeah, we're fucked

 

[zroid]

Seeing Lackey at the plate is hilarious. He's a freaking tower.

If towers were made of shit and bile.

 

[JDHarbs]

Anyone from RoyalsGAF going to Game 4?

I wish I was, but I decided my kids probably wanted Christmas so I'm bowing to their wishes...


...selfish jerks.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Kolten Wong the Giant killer.

 

[see5harp]

Jesus Asian Americans chill out.

 

[zroid]

Wong is possessed

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Dammit Wong.

 

[geeko]

That wong kid is scary.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Heading out shortly...

 

[see5harp]

Man Hudson doing his part to give Cards their chance.

 

[Ricker]

Nice double play right there...

 

[zroid]

[Little Green Yoda]

a batted ball in the Cards favor? is this what it feels like?

 

[Parch]

It wasn't his fucking fault.

The ESPN special about this is great. Just how batshit crazy people and media get over something like this is fascinating.

 

[Jack Scofield]

Giants wore out their bats in the first inning.

Damn.

 

[Afrikan]

Even though Wong hit that game winning home run against us and even though he might still fuck us this series.... I don't think I can hate this guy as much as that other Hawaiian Baseball Player/Bitch.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Giants should have taken out Lackey when they had the chance. Now they will suffer.

 

[Fjordson]

Damnit Hudson.

 

[bigosc2k]

God damn Bochy can be stupid with keeping a pitcher in too long

 

[BFIB]

Whoa. Grichuk making it up for Lackey there!
