    Scorcho and Applejack talk about the San Francisco Baseball Giants

    Hey Scorcho!

    The Giants are 5-2. They lead the majors in home runs and runs. The only losses have come when our fifth starter, Matt Cain, pitches - what a bum. I expect all of these trends to continue.

    I'm not much of a baseball fan, but I like the Giants.

    Welcome aboard! This thread should outpace that nasty Dodgers trollfest within the hour.

    There's a problem here for me: I don't hate the Giants. How can we have a decent rivalry here if I don't? Maybe you guys can help me out.

    That's okay, I don't really hate the Dodgers.

    OK, that gives us four people on the Giants bandwagon! This thread has been much, much more successful than I anticipated.

    LA, to answer your question of how we can have a decent rivalry, a nice first start would be you growing a Tim Lincecum moustache to demonstrate good will.

    Last time the Giants won the World Series: 2012 (after winning in 2010)

    Last time the Dodgers won the World Series: 1988

    Sorry, was that a bit zoobish?

    It would only be zoobish if you were using the 1988 title to prop up your team.

    No. The Dodgers from 1988 to 2012 were kind of like Utah football from 1964 to 1989. The renaissance of the Boys In Blue is well under way now.

    If you're comparing the current Dodgers to a college football program it would have to be Oregon or Oklahoma State.

    The Boys in Blue are 5 games behind the SF franchise and closing.

    Lincecum has a no-no bid alive through seven innings against the Padres.

    And he's done it. Still hitting 90's with the fastball after 100+ pitches. Curveball looked nasty.

    For the record, I am rooting for the Giants now. California team, West Coast. Besides, I've always disliked the Cardinals.

    So I said to David Eckstein, "You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.

    Are you referring to your team as the San Francisco Baseball Giants in order to differentiate them from another Giants team based in San Francisco?

    You don't get the reference? I thought you were around when the giants moved from New York.

    4-2 so far on the current 10 day road trip (without Ginshu Cain). If the Giants can finish 2-2 or better against the Dodgers this weekend I'll call this road trip a success.

    The Fresno Grizzlies beat Kershaw yesterday with their bottom of the lineup looking like this:

    P. Sandoval .189
    Brandon Hicks .200
    J. Arias .164
    Juan Perez .095
    E. Adrianza .176
    T. Hudson .111

    I think Bochy conceded the game with that lineup, but somehow the Giants found a way and know are tied for the best record in baseball.

    I have season tickets to the Giants minor league team, the Sacramento River Cats

    I don't know anything about the players yet but will likely go to 10 or so games this year and get to know them.

    its looking bleak for the orange and black, their playoff chances are slim. but we have been able to see some of the AAA step up and play well. Duffy will be the NL Rookie of the year at 3rd base (Giants dodged a bullet by not signing Pablo Sandoval). Panik is a solid 2nd baseman and Tomlinson looks like a quality player. The Giants entire infield is ery young and home grown, including Buster Posey at catcher.

    if they can add a pitcher or two, the Future looks bright

    Don't worry too much, there's still plenty of time for the Dodgers to collapse.

    Giants opened up the wallet this season

    I'm excited but we've seen other teams try this and fail miserably.

    Span will be good for the 25 or so games he's healthy enough to play.

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    Of course, on some occasions there are some managers who are so pitiful that they can still manage to squander enormous talent. Right, LA?

    Last time I checked (about 30 seconds ago) the Boys in Blue were only 1.5 games out of first place in the West. As opposed to the Western Bay Area Franchise, which is 13.5 games out. The Orange County Franchise is a mere 19.5 games behind in the AL West.
