No Capuano's so I'd rather look at this anyway.

I'll be there. first row promenade, 411.

No Thole: Reyes – 6 Murphy – 4 Wright – 5 Beltran – 9 Davis – 3 Paulino – 2 Harris – 7 Pridie – 8 Capuano – 1

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 04 2011 01:05 PM Re: Giants @ Mets I.G.T. 5/4/2011

We're really up against it with Timmy opposing us, and I'm sure the Mets know it, and know they kicked their opportunity to win several times last night. Lose tonight, and we're in some kind of rut.

Ugh. Lincecum is cruising.

smg58 May 04 2011 07:32 PM Re: Giants @ Mets I.G.T. 5/4/2011

I'm sorry, but Lincecum's fastball doesn't have nearly enough movement to explain (or forgive) taking so many of them over the plate for strike three. At least Murphy put up a decent at bat. Before striking out.

seawolf17 May 04 2011 07:32 PM Re: Giants @ Mets I.G.T. 5/4/2011

Damn, this guy can pitch.

Edgy DC May 04 2011 07:34 PM Re: Giants @ Mets I.G.T. 5/4/2011

Murphy did his job as well as he could, extended his at-bat until Lincecum hit 127 pitches. We get a one inning crack at a non-All Star in between Lincecum and Wilson.

TransMonk May 04 2011 07:36 PM Re: Giants @ Mets I.G.T. 5/4/2011

Yeah, I'm not going to lie...Timmy's pretty good.

This is why last night's game sucked so much - because we knew this pitching match-up wasn't in our favor.

When it comes to overmanaging, Bruce Bochy IS a more likable LaRussa-cum-Manuel. (Who's gotten very lucky the last two nights.) This game is 35 minutes shorter if, say, Bob Melvin or somebody is in the other dugout.

Fman99 May 04 2011 08:05 PM Re: Giants @ Mets I.G.T. 5/4/2011

Muffy looking good at 2nd tonight, nice inning by Gee. Let's see if we can touch up Rasputin for a couple of runs here.

HahnSolo May 04 2011 08:05 PM Re: Giants @ Mets I.G.T. 5/4/2011

It took until 2 months before his 8th birthday, but Little Solo finally uttered the words I dreaded hearing: "The Mets suck." It took the Paulino, Harris, Pridie nightmare to finally push him over the edge.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 04 2011 08:10 PM Re: Giants @ Mets I.G.T. 5/4/2011

"It's the loudest support they've had in years..." because World Series champions attract an inordinate amount of frontrunners. Howie sounds flummoxed by the concept of a bandwagon.

Gwreck May 04 2011 09:12 PM Re: Giants @ Mets I.G.T. 5/4/2011

Giants fans in attendance even more douchier than last night. I've always percieved that many, in contrast to what happened with the Dodgers, former New York Giants fans (and their issue) stuck with the team even as they played in another city. That combined with the bandwagon effect (plus I'm sure some fans choosing to visit NY from SF) contributed to what seemed like the Mets fans being outnumbered. The 2-6-2 double play was cool, and I was glad to see Capuano have a good outing. Other than that...

Ceetar May 04 2011 09:30 PM Re: Giants @ Mets I.G.T. 5/4/2011

It wouldn't have been as stark had the Mets given us anything to cheer for. I kinda wonder how many of those "Giants" fans were Mets fans recently who've decided to 'embrace the roots' or something as an excuse to jump on a bandwagon. Some observations without the benefit of replays. It looked like the strike zone was huge and they were calling every flinch a swing. On Ike's single Beltran paused like it was a liner, but it looked like a clear grounder to me that he should've been running on, and surely would've scored. He stepped back to 2B at first. I was kinda hoping for a squeeze with Harris in the 6th. he'd already hit two double play balls and at least at that point in the game Timmy wasn't really fooling anybody, both real hitters in the lineup that inning saw the ball and hit the ball so I think Harris probably could've gotten a bunt down the 1B line..

G-Fafif May 04 2011 09:54 PM Re: Giants @ Mets I.G.T. 5/4/2011

I'm a pretty discerning judge of New York Giants fan pedigree versus San Francisco Giants douchebaggery. I didn't sense much in the way of Ottsmanship at Citi Field this past night. Let Timmy Choke.

Ashie62 May 04 2011 10:06 PM Re: Giants @ Mets I.G.T. 5/4/2011

Most of the NY Giants fans are long deceased.

The other thing about Wilson: he's actually a half-decent guy off-the-field. The Jints are staying at BetterHalfer's workplace this week; Wilson and Posey (she thinks) have been sweethearts to the hotel/restaurant staff, while Huff and Cody Ross (are you surprised?) have stood out as entitlement-oozing, defensive pricks. Wilson's also a semi-regular at my cousin's restaurant in SF, and-- beard aside-- is a relaxed, unassuming customer who "was raised right" (says cousin Joe, who also recommends Zito).

G-Fafif May 05 2011 10:52 AM Re: Giants @ Mets I.G.T. 5/4/2011

Nice profile on the actual guy behind the beard in SI over the winter here. Nearly three months later Wilson hasn't come off his Series high. "You know what it's like?" he says, theatrically stroking the beard. "You're 12 years old. Everything is great. It's Friday. The school bell just rang. You have no responsibilities. You get to have a sleepover. All you want to do is jump up and down and scream. You know that feeling? Now make it times a billion. That's winning the World Series."

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 05 2011 11:08 AM Re: Giants @ Mets I.G.T. 5/4/2011

I think "douche," I think University of Miami, I think "unique" tribal tattoos, I think "No, this isn't Ed Hardy-- this is my custom shirt line." Jersey Shore is a televisual warehouse-store of "douche." Ryan Braun-- or drunk DabidRye on a bad night-- is a douche. While a full-on young-dude beard is a BIT more commonplace than it used to be, it's more "irritating BillyBurg/SoCal hipster" than it is "douche," near as I can tell.
