Leferd Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Ominous beginning for the A's. Sonny Gray to miss opening night start due to food poisoning. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
Guard Dog Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 I just found the AM antenna for my A/V receiver still in the plastic. Home opener vs. LA starts in half an hour. RADIO I love sports on the radio. I catch games on my XM radio all the time. "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
Leferd Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Baseball on the radio just works. Of course I grew up spoiled listening to Bill King, Lon Simmons, and Hank Greenwald. Even. Now we have Jon Miller and Ken Korach broadcasting the Giants and A's. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
Hurlshort Posted April 4, 2016 Author Posted April 4, 2016 Giants lineup looks very solid. Back to back to back homers.
Guard Dog Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 What a pounding. Well, look at it this way: All it means is the Padres won't go 162-0 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
Leferd Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 I play in a fantasy baseball league full of Giants fans. I picked up Adrian Gonzalez in the 11th round. Hell, even Clayton Kershaw dropped to the second round. I would've picked him up but I went third and took Bryce Harper.

ManifestedISO Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Yeah, Colonel Klink put on a clinic, retiring thirteen straight, or some such. Nine K's in seven I's ... 0.00 ERA ... whatever that means. Game 2 starts in half an hour, not that anyone cares. But they do. All Stop. On Screen.
Hurlshort Posted April 9, 2016 Author Posted April 9, 2016 Crazy Giants-Dodgers game last night. I feel bad for Dave Roberts. Bruce Bochy used to regularly make Don Mattingly look bad, and that trend seems to be continuing. Giants are no hit into the 8th, and then win 3-2 on two hits.
ManifestedISO Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 I don't even need that AM antenna, my TV picks up the Mighty 1090 radio signal. Been a great season so far, Padres set a franchise record for an opening day loss, and a major league record three-straight shutouts to start the year. I'll stick with it, though. I love the new yellow jersey accents. All Stop. On Screen.
ManifestedISO Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 Gangway, coming through! Pads get a run at home after only 29 innings. Boom! All Stop. On Screen.
Guard Dog Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 After the Panthers finished beating the Islanders in Game 2 last night I watched the rest of the Giants/Dodgers game. SF was all discombobulated. Three errors? Really? "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
Keyrock Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 I'm getting some laughs out of Boston's fat third baseman saga. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Hurlshort Posted April 16, 2016 Author Posted April 16, 2016 I'm getting some laughs out of Boston's fat third baseman saga. As a Giants fan, it's pretty crazy to watch. Sandoval was a favorite, but everyone in the organization knew he had serious nutrition issues. He's a big guy, always will be, but after a fantastic rookie year he ballooned and got sent to the bench for the 2010 playoff run. So the Giants worked with him, had him on a restricted diet, and he had a bunch of very good seasons and two great postseason runs. But he seemed disgruntled by it. He left for Boston, which I totally understand, I'd love to play at Fenway. He said the Giants disrespected him, which seemed a bit overdramatic. But now he's just out of control with his weight. The guy has so much talent, it is a shame that he can't see that the Giants were just trying to help him stay on the field by keeping him on a diet.
Guard Dog Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 So far the Rays biggest strength, starting pitching, has been the biggest weakness. And the Marlins have shown flashes of brilliance in between long periods of crap. All the pieces of a winning team are there, they just haven't put them all together right. Ichiro is just 58 hits from 3000. "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

Leferd Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 So the Yankees broadcasters called the A's a AAA club. They swept the Yanks and have now won six six straight. 2 "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle

Leferd Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Well, even in the outside chance they make it to the postseason, Billy's s**** don't work in the playoffs. #InBillyWeTrust "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
Guard Dog Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Blake Snell is making his MLB debut against the Yankees right now. Time to watch! "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
Guard Dog Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Snell was sharp yesterday. He have up one run on three hits and 6 Ks. He looked like a kid out there he's so young. Too bad the bullpen choked up the lead and the game. "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

Inyourprime Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 I'm not the biggest fan of Ortiz but his outrage was justified. That so called strike three was ludicrous. That was a ball, Kulpa. And I can't believe none of the other umps challenged that guy. Still wondering where MLB is on this call. I, sometimes, think they are just scared of the umpire's union. Stronger than the NFLPA. lol 1
Guard Dog Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 I watched this game last night.
