CDi!

catcher of the future woo woo

that is alll

this team is utter rubbish...

by TuLoRocks2008 on Sep 24, 2008 8:24 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs

Yea!

There is somebody else here tonight!

CDI now with most RBIs for a Rox catcher ever. Imagine what he could have done if he hadn’t had to sit behind Yorvit for a third of the season.

It's all so sad, isn't it? Really, really sad.

We can look forward

to that next season.

Barmes

solo shot…

Second half run?

by moomacher on Sep 24, 2008 8:43 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs

Livan

caught a break on that call. But so be it. Not like either team is in the hunt.

It's all so sad, isn't it? Really, really sad.

Barmes relay

Barmes really nailed that throw to home plate when he got Sandoval by a mile.

Matt does something useful.

Feels like it’s been forever since I’ve seen that.

But with the way Livan' La Vida Oh-no has looked

(aka bad, as usual) we’re going to need all of them.

Maybe we'll just take the Broncos' approach

As long as we score more runs, doesn’t really matter how the defense does.

Oh, Broncos D. Trying to make me old before my time. Kind of like the Rockies, except the Broncos have gotten away with it.

That was supposed to be

Wow

I am actually feeling a little bad for the Giants.

Because

you are a little bit of a Giants fan?

No

Because I can easily imagine this happening to us. I.e. getting offensively raped with a terrible pitcher on the other side managing to make us mostly ineffective. Call it empathy.

Well

I imagine a little bit of you felt sorry for the raiders while the Broncos were stomping them. Since, ya know, little bit of a raiders fan and all.

I'll keep accusing you of raiders-fandom

so long as you accuse me of Giants fandom.

Too bad

we didn’t face this kind of AA pitching all year. Maybe we coulda’ been contenders.

It's all so sad, isn't it? Really, really sad.

by rockhead on Sep 24, 2008 9:55 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs

We did.

And then the AA pitching shut us down.

Well, Rox fans...

on that note, I bid you goodnight. Got a very busy day awaiting me at work tomorrow, so I shall head off to sleepytime.

And even though the game means nothing, it’s been fun to watch our boys light it up tonight. Go Rox!

I have to say

watching Livan suck for us is making all the times he completely shut us down even more painful.

The Giants

announcers would take him back if he he could always have 15 runs behind him.

Oh look

Steven “It Fails To” Register. I suppose we can afford to be charitable with a 10-run lead.

Is anybody watching this?

What’s the crowd like? Have a lot of them left?

I’m at work still (don’t ask), and I’m wondering if the train in half an hour is going to be crowded with drunk, annoying Giants fans, or if a lot of them left awhile ago to catch the train half an hour ago.

Thanks

Hopefully it was sparse to begin with and a lot already left. I’ll have to chance it and hope I can get a cab to get me to the train station in time.

I once got stuck on a late Giants train that was standing room only, and some guy dressed as Davey Crockett had to talk down a drunk knife-wielding dude. True story.

Travel on the 7 train in Queens during the middle of the night.

Not something you want to do often.

Oh, no doubt

Not that I’ve had that experience, but I can imagine. The other horrible train experience is taking late train on Halloween (or whatever weekday is right before or after). Masses of people get dressed up and ride the train up and down the peninsula going to various bars. It’s a nightmare (sometimes quite literally, depending on the costume of choice of whoever is standing in the aisle next to you).
