I feel your frustration brother. To have to take the back seat in free agency. Players taking less money to play in front of the greatest fans in sports. Just not having that ability that was once there for New York to just go buy what you wanted.

Life just isn’t blissful like it once was. And you don’t even have the “Gints” to turn to this year without seeing Philadelphia ahead of them in the standings and visions of DeSean Jackson running wild in the swamps of Jersey. Get the “no Superbowl” and “27 World Series” out of your system now. We’re a few months closer to the New Yawkers not being able to use that same old tired line.

Things must be really bad for you guys right now. I mean lowering yourself to have to actually root for the Red Sox ?!?! It will be okay skippy. Just climb down off of the GW Bridge and try to enjoy the rest of your season. We’ll keep you in our thoughts in October. Like you said there “ain’t any Aubrey Huffs in your lineups.” There ain’t any Halladay, Lee, & Hamels in any one AL East rotation. But then again you know all about Cliff Lee. Just think…….when it’s convienent for you, you always have 15 other teams to root for in New York/North Jersey !!!!!

Don’t want to miss our date with these Phillies in the fall.

Once a new league year begins all that is over with. Its the 2011 season and no one is the champion of it until the final game is played Each teams rosters change so the team that won the WS last year doesnt exist anymore and the teams they beat in the NLDS NLCS and WS doesnt exist anymore either. They are both different teams now with different pieces that will decide who advances the furthest this season. That is why its pointless to look to a past seasons success, no matter how recent, as a reason why a team will succeed now..

That was a fantastic pitching performance by both pitchers. Only 2 extra base hits all game, a double early by Rollins and a homer too late by Sandoval. Though, I am not sure why you are gloating so much after a 1 run game that was very competitive. Maybe its because the Phils are in a position to sweep tomorrow and they are tough to beat, but todays game along with the series in Philly should show you that the Phils arent gonna just walk away with a trophy. also, its probably quiet in here because people have alot going on on saturdays during the middle of the day. The game was on out here at 1pm and many people have family obligations and such so they cant be infront of their computers all day. But, being the proud Giants fan I am, I came back on here to take my beating like a man. Phils are crushin my Giants right now! Timmy vs Roy Boy should be another good one tomorrow.

I linked to a couple of pictures of him grabbing people on a double play after he was out.

They seem to be taken down. I doin’t know why but you can google it yourself

Giants: 24-29
Phillies: 35-17

Giants v NL East: 9-15
Phillies v NL West: 17-7

Are my facts straight enough?

They had their asses handed to them two nights in a row and they have Cain and TIMMAY going the next two. Even a split isn’t enough. They have to win the next two games or else they have no pride. Marcellus Wallace is talking to them right now…you hear that, Giants…that’s pride f’in with you. You have to win with Cain today. He OWNS the Phillies. Then tomorrow, the little pothead pitches against a rusty Oswalt.

The Phillies will take a spilt, but the Giants can not. They need to win these two games.

To bad I wasn’t around last week to debate the merits of the statement “your boy” being racist. I bet you’d acquire carpal tunnel arguing in favor of that one.

Have a good evening. God forbid Utley gets a splinter, as to only avoid your crusade against wood.

Whiteside definitely looked like he was expecting or wanting contact.

I don’t think what he did was egregious, though. I know we disagree on that point.

I suppose there’s a different experience in knowing what is actually offensive to gay men by living a lifetime in San Francisco verses a lifetime of spectatorship, as in monkey’s case.

I stand by my comment. Philly fans with their panties in a bunch over last night’s event should procure knee pads.
