Major League Baseball 2010

Giants are completely incapable of winning a game without stress ; even with 11 runs, I was still stressed out. Hopefully we dont choke like 2002, but i will defn sleep tight tonight with a Kings and Giants win .

Nah dude. As long as their bats are still working they can hang in there. The Rangers have surprised me as they have a way of shutting teams down while finding a way to score every time they get someone on base.

Did Atreyu pull off a win?

Sorry I typed that on my phone. There should've been a space in there after the first sentence. I meant to say as long as the Giants can keep hitting like they did last night they'll be able to stay in the game.

I'm also really surprised with how the Rangers have been shutting down a lot of better (IMO) teams because of their excellent pitchers combined with a decent amount of hits from their own batters combined with their super aggressive base running.

Did Atreyu pull off a win?

Yup... He looked a little off at times though. He was high in the strike zone in the first couple innings then calmed down a bit. Top of the 6th he really picked up the pace, striking out the first two batters. He then faced Ian Kinsler who ended up walking in a marathon at bat. He walked the next batter and was then pulled. Both those runs scored so he pitched 5 2/3 with 4 earnies.

Ah, see, that's the thing Wook. Are those teams really that much better? Sure, you can list their 1-8 (or 9) hitters and say "yeah, the Phils or Rangers look to be better" but that's not this teams strength, it's their entire pitching staff. The starters and bullpen are about as good as it gets in the league right now. Hell, even look at the Phils, 1-3 their starters can match up with ours but they don't have as good a 4th starter or bullpen and the way that series played out it made one hell of a difference....

I'm still praying and dreaming we can do it. Winning the Series would mean the world to me. I can say without a doubt that 2010 has been a supremely tough year for me personally but this would give me some really special silver lining amongst all the muck.


GO GIANTS!!

It's clear right now. I heard a storm will roll in tonight but it might be more of a north bay thing... I've got my fingers crossed. Rain delays could really f things up for us.

And you did mean the weather, right?

I'm pulling for the Giants man. It's my only option now, I have to root against the team that beat my team.

It might just be their year! Seems like a special group of players. No real jerks to be found...

In retrospect it makes sense that we didn't win in 2002. The baseball Gods couldn't let #25 win.

i always kinda root for the team that beat my team. that way it doens't look like my team lost to losers.

I'm always the opposite. I think it's just a bitterness thing.

The end of that game was definitely interesting, at least for the fact that the Rangers were still able to tax the Giants' bullpen. In the sixth, it looked like most of them would have the night off.

its really nice in Sac right now, so waether shouldnt be bad unless something rolls around real quick.

 

[ProgMatinee]

wow. Rangers with the major choke job walk 4 in a row then 3 hits in a row?

Yeah that 8th inning with 2 outs was awesome.

 

[azurepred]

I could never imagine what this team could do if they actually got consistent offense. They really need to go into game 3 and look to rip the hearts out of the Rangers. They will have a lot of energy for that game, Sanchez needs to step his game up.

I do the same thing.

If my teams going to go down best they go down to the champs. LOL!

My beard is now black. Told the wife she could do it if we won.... The change really hasn't been enough for people to even notice.

For anyone who may not have heard, it turns out The Machine is actually Burrell.
