Ammat The Ankh posted:The Giants are a house of cards built on Angel Pagan's back. The Giants playoff hopes were hinged on Michael Morse playing left field all season, Angel Pagan playing center all season, Buster Posey having an MVP season, Hunter Pence having an MVP season, Brandon Crawford hitting righties, Joaquin Arias hitting lefties, Pablo Sandoval having his 2008 season again, Brandon Belt hitting over .360 in doubles and home ruins forever, Marco Scutaro, Ryan Vogelsong, and Tim Hudson defying the aging process, Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain returning to pre-2012 form, and that someone could pitch the ninth inning of a baseball game. And somehow, their plan didn't work.

Fun facts, Tim Lincecum's Cy Young Seasons would only be good for 4th & 5th (09 & 08, respectively) in terms of ERA+. And Dan Haren's 09 season would be good for 10th. Giants Giantsing it here. New Concept Hole fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Sep 23, 2014 |

Pitch outside, better chase but also ground it to the shortstop. I'm Pablo Sandoval.

I'd say that at least the Giants are eating at their bullpen, but tomorrow is Greinke and Kershaw after that so it probably won't matter.

Seriously what the gently caress is with the decisions in extra innings this season? Pinch-run Belt, use Susac to hit, DON'T GIVE ARIAS THE loving BAT

Arias should be pinch-running for Belt if you're sending on any contact to center. This game should be over.
