Game Thread Sep 19/19 Giants (Bumgarner) @ Red Sox (E-Rod)

[jung]

Where were these hits when last we were in contention.....somewhere around May 1st.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A real BUMMER for Giants' fans at the game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Jacko mortified. Domingo German put on administrative leave by MLB on a domestic violence charge.

 

First Chapman, now this guy. Well, at least, they're not allowed facial hair.

[Station 13]

We will score 4 the next inning if this algorithm isn't screw by Corkys the next inning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The guy in the booth has a strong resemblance to the late Wally Cox.

If the home plate ump gives ERod a wider plate, he will be calling strikes on pitches thrown to the 1st base dugout.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Spier reminds me that when I went to high school there was no descriptive term NERD. One was either a 'jock', a 'hoodlum' or a 'bookworm.'

[Station 13]

we're not scoring 4 this inning. Thanks, Corkys

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bookworm has progressed thru the years to GEEK and now to NERD.

He's trying to speed the game up before either of his fellow umps has a cardiac arrest.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

On that note I’m getting A and W.

 

I don't agree with your taste in country music, but you're spot on with A&W. I'm enjoying their root beer right now.

ME TOO!!!! Such good Rootbeer!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

ME TOO!!!! Such good Rootbeer!

 

I also enjoy Birch Beer, but, damn, that s*** is expensive.

Wow, don't think we have that in my city.... Does it have more bite?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

6 hitters with 20 or more HR's; 3 hitters with an OPS of over .900; 3 hitters with over 100 runs scored; 2 hitters with 100+RBI and one other very close; and 1 reliable starter = no PO's.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not more bite, but, imho, a bit tastier.

[TylerD]

I need to find this.

[Slasher9]

who has more hits - red sox or german?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Back in the 90's there was a company PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH, who used to sell Birch Beer at the equivalent price of other sodas. The company in my area, whose name I can't remember, is now selling a six-pack of 11oz bottles for $8.00.

Must be a shortage of Birch trees.

ah, Birch Beer.....one small grocery store had a great Birch Beer when I was growing up. Not smart enough at the time to record the brand. It was excellent. Just enough bite....just sweet enough. Tried to duplicate it ever since. None have come close. Very disappointing.

The unmistakable voice of Joe Morgan in the EEI booth.

Holy s***. I mean I would still pay it if it’s the worth the taste. Some things are worth the price once and a while.

Damn that’s too bad. Must not be popular in Canada or at least in Regina. I honestly don’t think I have seen any birch beer at any grocery stores.

[jung]

So Peralta records a 6+ era in 39 MLB appearances. Well OK that sucks but whatever.

 

But how about these guys that come up from AAA sporting a 5-6+ era in AAA!!!! Where are we going with THAT MLB?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another very fine start by E-rod. In regards to BUM, he was so worried about Gorkys and Owings, it messed up his concentration on the other batters.

The brands that used to have a Birch Beer were usually the brands that had a cream soda and a root beer. Birch would slide right into that lineup. I have kept expecting IBC to make a Birch Beer so that I could at least try it. No luck. Stewarts....same story....should have one but don't. Jones or Dr Jones whatever the hell it is should probably not even attempt it.

 

Polar has one I THINK. I know they had one. Not to my liking but as with all things, your mileage may vary.

 

It is usually clear in color and that clear color makes you feel like you just got your hands on some real moonshine liquor though the taste is not similar.....but that clarity of the liquid just makes you feel like you are doing something illegal, especially if you are only 8 years old. Its moonshine clear as opposed to sparkling water clear.

[TylerD]

Seriously E-Rod has been so damn good for us this season, next year it's looking like he is our Ace unless Sale somehow breaks out of this weird funk he had this season.

That is strange..... Must be hard to make or the ingredients (birch) is tough to find.... Sounds like it was pretty popular so I doubt it fell out from ppl not drinking it. SPLENDIDSPLINTER said the ones that are left are pretty expensive now.

No..NO...NO!!! We are building around Neck-tat and Gas Grill. Though I would not climb the stairs to the second floor in a house built on those two guys......jusssssst a little shaky.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

With 10 games remaining after this one E-rod still has a shot at 20 wins, if, of course, Cora gives him two more starts.
