Didn't they alter the rules regarding pickoff moves to 2nd base or something? Like, they changed the rules so a certain type of move would now be considered a balk?

You're thinking of the fake to third then throw to first move, which like never ever worked

Am I on drugs now? Who even picks off at second

oliver perez has a good pickoff move to second because of the nature of his delivery, and has picked at least one person off on second this year ( i assume this is who is pitching, i turned the game off)

Jesus Christ, Carpenter. At least pick up the ball and hold the runner at 2nd. Did you really think it'd magically roll foul when it was that close to 3rd base?

Two bizarro base hits... even 4 runs up late, this won't be easy.

I guess you're right.

Uh-oh... 3-run lead, 8th inning. This means it could be a 3-run lead in the bottom of the 9th. You know what/who that means.

Holy poo poo. They are absolutely not going to make this easy.

Edit: Thank got for the GRD, but seriously, is there a reason Neshek is pitching right now? How much proof does Matheny need that he doesn't have his stuff tonight? Maybe they want a chance to give him the W?

Inexplicably, Rosey is better on the road than at home. It makes no sense. But perhaps it'll continue.

Aspirin? Check.

Defibrillator? Check.

Very large bottles of Jack Daniels? Check and check.

OK. I'm ready for the Rosenthal Close(TM).

I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.
Now correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't that Giants loss clinch home field in the Wild Card?
