Pass interference my ass.

Miami will never let that one go.

i make no apologies. if we can have perfect games ruined, we can have pass interference calls, right or wrong. and i'm not admitting it was wrong.

ahhhhh....2008 :idea:

thanks, jeags.....you're a good dude too ((((( group hug )))))

the thing that struck me about our DVD was how masterful cain, bumgarner and timmy were (games 2, 4 & 5) against texas. those fuckers didn't stand a chance!

The 12 days of Christmas begin today, but who needs a partridge in a pear tree when we've got a Posey behind the plate?

To remember the most glorious weeks of Bay Area sports in 2010, we present 12 playoff numbers that gift-wrapped a World Series for San Francisco.

1 Aubrey Huff bunt: Huff's sacrifice bunt in the seventh inning of Game 5 of the World Series was the first of his 11-season career. It helped set the table for Edgar Renteria's three-run homer in the Giants' 3-1 title-clinching victory.

2 Cody Ross homers: Against the Phillies' "unhittable" Roy Halladay, Ross went deep twice in Game 1 of the NLCS. Ross, the unofficial MVP of the NLDS, would be the official MVP of the NLCS.

3 Freddy Sanchez doubles: In Game 1 of the World Series, Sanchez became the first player to hit three doubles in his first three World Series at-bats. Sanchez, like Huff and Ross, was a veteran ballplayer (nine seasons) in his first postseason.

4 One-run games: The Giants, who were 28-24 in one-run games during their torturous regular season, went 3-1 in one-run games in a torturous NLDS against the Braves.

5 Game 6 relievers: Jonathan Sanchez lost his cool and was pulled in the third inning of the final game of the NLCS. In came Jeremy Affeldt, Madison Bumgarner, Javier Lopez, Tim Lincecum and, for the five-out save, Brian Wilson. The quintet allowed zero runs in the 3-2 victory.

6 Brian Wilson saves: There was a lot more for foes to fear in the postseason than the beard. Wilson had a 0.00 ERA in 11 2/3 innings with 16 strikeouts and four walks. He saved each clinching game.

7 Two-out runs: With two outs in the eighth inning of Game 2 of the World Series, Buster Posey singled to start a seven-run rally that turned a 2-0 game into a blowout. The rally featured four straight walks on 19 pitches.

8 Shutout innings: At age 21, Madison Bumgarner won Game 4 of the World Series with eight innings of shutout ball, allowing one runner to reach second base.

9 Swings and misses: The Braves were never more baffled than in the second inning of NLDS Game 1, when Tim Lincecum struck out the side, all swinging all the time. He finished with 14 Ks in a two-hit shutout.

10 Seasons in waiting: Giants fans, owners and employees went through 10 bittersweet seasons before the team finally christened its beautiful ballpark by the bay with a world championship run in Season No. 11.

11 Different lineups:

Nobody knew what Bruce Bochy would do next. In 15 playoff games, he posted 11 different starting lineups (pitchers aside). Every move seemed to work out just right.

12 Runs allowed: Giants pitchers held an explosive Rangers lineup to 12 runs in the World Series - a fitting symbol for a championship built on one of the best pitching staffs in team history. Texas had scored 38 runs against the Yankees in a six-game ALCS.

If you prefer to sing, the last verse would go like this: On the twelfth day of Christmas the baseball gods brought to us, 12 runs allowed, 11 different lineups, 10 seasons in waiting, 9 swings and misses, 8 shutout innings, 7 two-out runs, 6 Brian Wilson saves, 5 Game 6 relievers, 4 one-run games, 3 Freddy Sanchez doubles, 2 Cody Ross homers and an Aubrey Huff bunt in Game 5 of the World Series.

Thank you! ^^^^^^^

Man, for phillies fans who say the Yankees past championships don't mean shit, you guys really cling to 2008.

Does anybody expect anything less than another Giants-Phils NLCS next year? Phils fans should be stoked about getting Cliff Lee, but don't come into our thread and say that "nobody in philly cares about the giants", right after someone gleefully posts about the Lee signing in that same thread. Truth is, the Giants are the ONLY team the Phils fans are truly worried about next year.

Two best pitching staffs in the majors, hands down. See you guys in October.

I got something for you to cling to.

I was watching another Giants WS DVD the other night....there's some repeat stuff between DVDs....but as my sister-in-law said "you can't get enough of this shit."

FearTheBeard

Which of the DVDs do you like the best? I've noticed there are 3 or 4 of them.

you can get an 8 disc set on amazon for $46. 7 entire games plus the WS DVD, which I've seen. it's on its way. I need to see the entire 9th inning of the last phils game again.

there's only one other I know of, besides those eight - "the magic inside." it's good. this one and the WS one are only about $13 apiece on amazon.

WHOA!!! :? Too much West Coast IPA for me last night! Looks like I got a little out of line in a few of these threads. Evident by the use of the word cocksucker in every single post My bad! I really do not think Philly is that bad. Hope you can forgive and maybe not take my posts so personal. I can get out of hand sometimes and it makes me look like a jackass

Going to be out in San Fran for a few days next week for work. Staying at either the Wyndham by Union Square or Hotel Triton at Grant and Bush I think. What should I do on a short stay? Bars?

Thank goodness! I have a feeling he will have limited playing time this season. Maybe play a DeRosa or Tejada at third?

By the way, where is that Dodger joke? I need some new humor for Southern California. All these people talk about are the Fakers

OK....

3 fans are leaving AT&T Park, following a giants on dodgers beatdown. In the parking lot, they find a dead, nude woman. they call the SFPD. while waiting, they decide to cover the body, out of decency and modesty. one guy puts his giants hat on the woman's left breast. the second fan puts his giants hat on the right breast. the third guy covers the woman's private part with his dodgers hat.

after a while, SFPD shows up to take their statements. The cop then goes to examine the body. he picks up one giants hat, replaces it and writes a few notes in his notebook. he picks up the next giants hat, replaces it and writes a few more notes. finally he picks up the dodgers hat, replaces it and writes a few notes. the cop removes the dodgers hat again and writes a few more notes. he replaces it but removes it again and looks some more.

finally, one guy asks "what's up, man? you keep going back to her privates for more looks." the cop says, "you know, in all my years, that's the first time i've ever seen anything other than an asshole under a dodgers hat."
