We are blessed with a wealth of lineups tonight! It looks like we may be on to something.
I went to Shooting Blanks last night and it nearly crashed my laptop loading up all the fucking animated gifs.
I got too fancy, you beat me out of the gate
It was already on my clipboard. I posted on the Snack Threat at around 7;30, because I thought Stoeten wasn’t going to do some cutting and pasting of his own.
I thought the same thing, so I posted it on yesterday’s threat. I see we both have confidence in the fearless leader.
Great minds!
Thanks muchly.
Go Giants!
Have you recovered from the panda’s performance last night or are you still drunk on champagne
More or less recovered but it was red wine.
mmmmm red wine

~~~LETS PLAY BALL~~~
You too whoever you are!
My small contribution.
You’re welcome:-)
ooops forgot to change my name back!
Stealth!
Ha!
…ninja.
These pretzels are making me thirsty. I’m hoping for a close, well fought game between these two teams I could give a fuck about. Go baseball!
Fielder should have just pancaked him, would have had a better chance.
So does that play take Lamont out of managerial consideration?
I only want a seven game series because I’m not ready for the end of baseball.
It’s going to be a long winter.
I’m going to the Gens game tomorrow, and I don’t even like hockey. Just trying to get interested in something to get me through the winter.
Maybe the Raptors will be worth watching.
Maybe. I keep trying to get into basketball…I like it live, but I just can’t quite care
Junior hockey is fun. I go to about a half dozen 67′s games a year but since they’ll be out in Kanata for the next couple of years I don’t know how many games I’ll get to. The Civic Centre is a short walk from home Kanata not so much.
I’m not a Sens fan and have no interest in the NHL.
Fisted
Fister? I dont even know ‘er
Fat guys running makes for the best WS ever, I think a good title would be The Prince and the Panda
I don’t know what I like more: your handle or your comment!
I bet neither one could dance like Jackie Gleason.
Just for you:

My favourite fat man. Thanks.
Just watched Smokey and the Bandit a couple of weeks ago. He is pure gold.
Or the June Taylor Dancers!!!
Maybe I’m thicker than usual tonight, but I went to Getting Spanked and I couldn’t tell which of today’s posts was supposed to be the game threat.
Think I’ll stay here.
Congrats Randy, you have done the right thing.
I feel man love for Marco Scutaro.
It’s a shame he won’t be a Jay next year.
Indeed, but this is the time of year I can dream the dream.
I still think that Aviles gets moved in a package for another piece. Maybe the Jays go out and get Keppinger or Scutaro.
I think and have heard that Scutaro is pretty happy in SF.
Where’s Radar tonight? Is he throwing around his $86 with RachelLee22?
Apparently the Giants are winning 0-0.
At least its a close lead.
Did I just see a dust devil?
I insist somebody hacks this site and installs auto refresh. Thanks in advance.
Talk about dreaming a dream! I’m holding out for grass.
+1
Eternal thanks and glorious praises for whoever can make this happen.
Chowhound has a feature where if you log in, it only shows you new posts within a thread. I’ve thought about asking if they can do it, but I don’t like being ignored.
I remember the quake game well…yes I am over 20.
Moi aussi. We were gathered in the pub to watch the game and the TV went blank.
My first trip to SF was the April following the earthquake and I was at a game at the Stick and some moron sitting behind was trying to impress his date by pointing out where he was sitting when the quake hit. I really didn’t need to hear that.
It was strange to find out how bad it was afterwards do to the way it was reported initially.
Today Bobcat was suggesting Guillen as manager.
Bobcat is losing his mind over this manager stuff.
In all honesty it would not shock me.
What, Guillen or Bobcat’s lost mind?
Both I suppose but do NOT be surprised if Guillen’s name starts creeping up.
Hahaha! He’s in my top 3 to manage! Right behind Alomar and Ausmus. I actually think he wouldn’t do too badly.
He’s my #4, behind Wakamatsu, DeMarlo, and Acta.
If we could make it an honorary position and have Loria pay for it the next three years I’m good.
Alomar will likely be the choice but I’m not sure it is the best one.
we should have a pool to see who can guess how long it will take alex to hire somebody this time
The optics would have been bad. It would have made AA look like he had some balls.
Spud who was the first person Neil Armstrong saw on the moon?
Alice Cramden
birddawg–A question’s not a question, when you know the answer too.
Good one though.
karen….
You know what I am a little surprised that they didn’t have a manager in waiting so to speak as this was not a surprise from all indications.
Meant it in response to you, Tom.
The optics would have been bad. It would have made AA look like he had some balls.
To the moon Alice!
ozzie fits in with AA’s alleged affection for small ball and the jays stated focus on latin players
theyd probably need to match the 2.5 mill/yr the white sox owe but what a relatively cheap way for rogers to look like they are spending, and a big name manager washes away the farell drama
of course there is the whole sanity question with ozzie…
That sanity thing isn’t really a question.
then maybe they can hire me to be his nurse
Sorry. We need you on call 24/7.
ok
sorry 2.5/yr the MARLINS owe
The Bay Area Hysteria is getting to me.
Im sure I saw a video shot of Parkes jumping up and own after a Giants strikeout while holding his partner.
Was he wearing a pink too-too?
I should add…not that there is anything wrong with that.
Did he have him in a vice-like grip?
Actually, I heard he was holding his own best friend, and was sporting an ear to ear grin.
Nothing would surprise me less than parkes being gay.
Fresh salmon grilled to perfection with dill sauce and a side of prawns @ 18:50 PST…..Oh hi eastern folk!
So, to be clear, are you taking credit for this ‘grilled to perfection’ while blogging, or simply waiting for the cry ‘dinner!?’ Either way I’m seriously jealous.
To continue with perfection…I done did it myself.
A true man among men. The rest of us are hunkered down in your shade. Enjoy.
Oh I don’t blog, I just comment on how bloggers mistakenly consider themselves writers.
So you’re not simultaneously posting this stuff on a hipster foodie blog?
Well, I do write things and force others to read while I eat in front of them. I haven’t found a word for it yet although I will be reading Mein Kampf soon.
Hitler…there was a painter! He could paint an entire apartment inONE afternoon! Two coats!
Baby! Baby!…Why does he say this “baby”? The Fuhrer has never said “baby.” I did not write “baby.” What is it with this “baby?”
I will assume we have time to find out if the US election goes horribly awry.
I”ve never tasted a prawn.
We had salmon too, but I suppose not as fresh as yours.
Thinking about starting a show called Prawn Stars….thoughts?
Smells a little fishy, so a good start.
Make sure they’re jumbo.
Wash that down with a little Blue Mountain Reserve chardonnay and you’re off to the races.
I will put that on my reserve list. Today it is Vodka, pineapple, crushed ice.
Who’s going to be the hero tonight?
Buster.
The Panda’s done his share.
The ordinary man is involved in action, The hero acts. An immense difference.
~~~~~Henry Miller~~~~~
You do understand the “light from above” is a flash from an atomic explosion of course….
God Bless you too…America
I really hate that song.
I hate that damn song as well. I change the channel or mute it.
I’m almost at the point where I’d rather hear Sweet Caroline.

Seriously, I was starting to believe that you existed solely on salty pretzels.
There was a time.
I wonder if that oven fired pizza that they’re cooking tastes better than our pizza pizza *cough cough*
Depends on whether it comes with that delicious cheddar jalapeno sauce.
I am heading over the hump for salmon and prawns, Tom W.
Karen, you need not try a prawn unless here on the west coast, mmmmmm. While dipping In a bowl of melted garlic butter.
Personally,I’m a halibut over salmon guy. Delicious bc fish.
I prefer halibut over salmon as well
You can get live Spot Prawns here when they’re in season. There are few things that are better.
Any time SJF
I’m so glad our announcer crew has remained so impartial.
Wink sign here.
That’s gonna leave a mark.
who are the announcers?
The Original Buck should be known to all.
is it tim McCarver with him?
Yup
Jim Leylands neck looks like a scrotum.
What took you so long to show up?
I had company, it would have been in bad form to pull out a keyboard.
Fair enough.
Did anything else get pulled out?
All my old moves.
Would that explain why you have the keyboard in your lap?
Touche.
Does it have a glory hole?
My computer? No, plastic keyboard cover… yes.
It is actually a turkey that was surgically attached in honour of all those fine American hunters who have lost their lives do to hunting with Dick Cheney.
This could be problematic for Detroit.
It’s just a flesh wound.
Have at you then!!!!
We’ll call it a draw.
I think Verlander was the key to this thing. If he’s anything approaching his normal self they leave SFO with at least a split. Oh yeah, forgot to mention SFO’s horseshoes.
Also forgot to mention the 25 million dollar man. Whats his post season record?
This would be so much better if the Jays were in the world series.
Sometime soon I hope.
See you kids Saturday, I’ll bring the beer.
Erin Andrews is worth the price of admission.
yup
If the Jays are not at the very least in the ALCS by 2014 I promise to fly to TO and run naked down any chosen street with a salmon around my neck hand in hand with Radar.
Greg Zaun says Scutaro wouldn’t come back here
But I’d let him have 2 all holds barred nights with my girlfriend in exchance for a year in T-DOT
If I come for a year, does the offer still stand?
All holds barred? So they’d just sit there and chat?
@ KyleZ…..”I’d let him have 2 all holds barred nights…..”
Shouldn’t that be “2 no holds barred nights” ? Otherwise whats the point?
anyone else hoping this series ends in 4 so free agency begins sooner?
I do.
And AA likes small ball? Wow. I guess he was really pissed with the 2010 Jays then huh?
I don’t know who they will hire, but I will be very very very surprised if it’s Guillen…
(Still holding out for Sandy Alomar here.)
Lol at Jim Lang this morning.
“The Tigers know their park better than anyone.”
“The Tigers have an edge because they’re used to cold temperatures.”
I find his undying love for the Tigers clouding his judgement humorous.
