BOOM

 

[CygnusXS]

ugh

 

[lazybones18]

Fuck

 

[Afrikan]

wow

 

[Brinbe]

booo

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Did someone give Joe Buck some crack? He sounds more excited now than he has in a decade. Even when the Giants scored their run, he went apeshit.

 

[Flo_Evans]

w00t

watching on this stupid gameday page is not very exciting... I need to go to a bar.

 

[Red_taiyaki]

FUCK.

 

[see5harp]

Whelp. Matt Cain giver of home runs.

 

[jakncoke]

Today 33 years ago Willie Stargel homered us to our last World Series

 

[Little Green Yoda]

First postseason AB by Carpenter. Channeling his inner Carlos Beltran, I see.

For whatever reason, Buck's really seemed to have improved the last couple years or so. Now Tim McCarver on the other hand....

if they play 5 1/2 innings and the storm gets there...and the score stays the same.... don't tell me....please don't tell me D:

Play will be suspended. There will be a conclusion

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Remember how someone earlier joked about the Braves taking A-Rod?

There is believed to be some *very* preliminary discussion amongst the Braves about whether they would be interested in acquiring Alex Rodriguez from the Yankees if the Yankees picked up a considerable part of A-Rod's remaining money. A-Rod is still guaranteed $120 million through the 2017 season along with his home run milestone bonuses. If A-Rod passes Barry Bonds on the home run list, it becomes $150 million. The Braves would likely want the Yankees to pick up $60-$70 million of it and the milestone bonuses. It would also depend on who the Yankees asked for in exchange for picking up so much salary. It looks highly unlikely, but there is some very tiny talk about it.

 

[weekend_warrior]

It would be a miracle if any team would take on even up to a third of Arod's contract.

I think if the Yankees paid off half Arod's contract that would be a good deal for a lot of teams. You don't think the Marlins could recoup $12 million/year from increased ticket sales and merchandise? And even though he's been bad this postseason he's not exactly a walking corpse. His defense at 3rd is still good, and he could easily turn around next year and hit 25 hrs and batting in a 100.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Giants have been putting some good ABs this series. Have they been like this all year?

 

[lazybones18]

Let's tie it up

 

[Afrikan]

oh god...this is looking bad.

 

[Flo_Evans]

Looks to me like rain at 5, storm at 6.

 

[cashman]

Instant rally killer! NL superiority!

 

[see5harp]

Come on Matt Cain help yourself out and drop a decent bunt.

Decent enough for ya?

No Arod, no Granderson. There's a good chance that we'll never see Arod play for the Yankees again.

 

[CygnusXS]

This is probably the least likely of all scenarios. Kimbrel will play 3B for the Braves before A-Rod does.

 

[Brinbe]

Come on, tie this shit up.

 

[Afrikan]

yup...if it were me, i'd do a suicide squeeze there....which explains why I'm behind this laptop.

 

[ZeroRay]

Honestly, the Marlins have a better chance of getting him. (ohgodno)

They don't have big power hitters but they won in 2010 with Aubrey Huff being the cleanup man. That probably sounds absurd and it is. They've won with pitching and timely hits.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

We finally had a scoreless 4th inning!!

 

[Flo_Evans]

Headed to Jack Patricks downtown if any of STL GAF wants to join me.

GO CARDS!

The A-Rod must come back

 

[Little Green Yoda]

I meant their approach at the plate has been really good this series. They're laying off all the junk pitches, it seems.

 

[Blearth]

They had plenty of power in 2010 and Huff hit 3rd in the lineup

Giants offense outside of Att park is awesome. Not many HRs but alot of runs.

 

[see5harp]

Well regardless of where he hit, I'm fairly sure he was our HR leader.

 

[Blearth]

He was one of five guys in the 2010 lineup with an ISO over .200

The 2010 team was 9th in the majors in home runs. They had power.

Would be nice to get some of those right about now.

Damn I didn't realize that. I guess all I remember thinking was that Barry Zito was a huge waste of money and that we won a ton of super close games. Pablo was incredibly fat and was striking out a lot.

Reminds me of Bobby Cox intentionally walking Pablo Sandoval in Game 1 of the NLDS with two outs to face Cody Ross, who knocked in the only run of the game.

Cox must not have watched Pablo that season. He was fucking terrible. I wanted to kick my TV when I saw he had Derek Lowe walk him.

 

[see5harp]

Jeez they are really scared of Buster Posey. He hasn't even done anything in the series yet.

EDIT: seriously Hunter Pence step up and do something besides give pep talks.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Hello, Erin Andrews.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

MVPosey...LVPence?

Lohse is figuring it out lol.

 

[Afrikan]

does Pence think that just because we are not known for having Power hitters, that he needs to be one for us every at bad? Dude needs to calm down man....caaaalm down.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Weather about to get nasty in STL:

http://wxug.us/t4ia

 

[Little Green Yoda]

I hope Lohse can get through one more inning unscathed. I don't mind if a rain delay knocks out Cain though.

 

[Flo_Evans]

Change of plans, went to Pour House, you can smoke here. <3 STL.

 

[dvdjamm]

Bottom right...It's close enough to the NeoGAF logo

 

[lazybones18]

Alright Pagan, get a double

C'mon Angel!
