I'm a little offended they didn't mention blisters while talking about Affeldt's injury history. I mean we're right here and he was the next great left handed starter.

Because they're his most mundane injuries :v:

Hey we still might see Tim Collins!

This is the other Royals bullpen by the way, it's really just three guys and some bullshit Finnegan before he fell back to earth.

The Giants bullpen is two good guys, Romo?, Lincecum?, maybe lefties Lopez, magically good Petit, a pitching machine, and a dinger machine.

Affeldt is good. Casilla is good. Lopez is pretty good. Romo used to be amazing, got terrible mid-season, and is now just good again. Petit is part of that bullpen right now, and he's a better postseason pitcher than Clayton Kershaw. I'll have to see more of Lincecum before I make a discussion.

Yeah that was supposed to be magically good Petit. The bullpen is ok, but it gets exposed when Bochy goes to it early these days. Unless it's Petit.

As a point that no one will listen to I'd say the Royals big inning was a lot more bullshit than anything the Giants have done other than Petit getting a hit.

I'm listening. Yeah it's been a crazy game and I don't know how to accept the Giants being good because of ability.

Also my computer was rebooting during the 8th but I am really really glad Good Romo is back. He's one of my favorite Giants and watching him struggle during the summer was really depressing.

That series with the Rockies broke me for awhile.
