2B

I had to stop and think who we currently have there...how sad.

by sbentley on Apr 12, 2008 12:39 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i'm sorry

i just can't. i don't think a good 2nd baseman would help either.

he's a bad player on the wrong side of his career.

crazy thing on the videos I've seen is

the Giants fans are really cheering. They were psyched about Pujols hitting that homer. Sounds like a home game. The announcers sound dreadful.

by tom s. on Apr 12, 2008 12:42 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That's because

Giants' fans like homers and they don't care who hits 'em, even the opposition.

Skippy's aggressiveness

allows him to score.

I love the two out hitting!

Ok Skippy... you're starting. Now START HITTING!

Barton is the MAN

not a game yet where he doesn't make an important contribution.

by RedbirdAvenger on Apr 12, 2008 12:44 AM EDT   0 recs

Bartons an extra-base machine

let him and Ludwick play against righties!!!!!

Tony

probably aint gonna be too happy with Barton after that baserunning.

C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!

2 out runs

Anybody have any idea how many 2-out runs we scored this year? Seems like a lot....

by Woodwork on Apr 12, 2008 12:45 AM EDT   0 recs

keep em comin

I dont know of anything, other than an inning continuing error, that will deflate a team's morale faster than 2 out hits/scoring.

C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!

Gonna have to agree with you here

I'd like to see ARey finish this baby off.

isn't Franklin one of those "rubber arm" guys?

this was the same problem we had w/ springer earlier

and I'm not totally convinced that Franklin doesn't need some careful handling after last season.

Forgot about Kelvin

Use him up before he gets sent down.

and wants to give us some action

I'm sorry

what drinking game?

by Harknights on Apr 12, 2008 12:49 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

uh-oh

C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!

by yer dog first on Apr 12, 2008 12:49 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

after franklin's first kinda shaky start we

started calling alcoholic drinks "franklins"

so a pseudo drinking game was made with him

if he gives up a fly ball to the warning track you take a sip

if he gets a one two 3 inning you finish your franklin

redbirddude kinda created the rules, its more of a running joke

Wow! just saw Barton's "double"

what the heck was he thinking heading for second on that routine single???? got very lucky

by gossard56 on Apr 12, 2008 12:50 AM EDT   0 recs

His fast is faster than your fast

Brian Barton doesn't run to second base, second base runs to Brian Barton.

Pujolsian decision

to sacrifice the out for the runs. Since Skippy has struggled on the bases tonight, he'd figure he'd give him alittle bit extra time.

The SF broadcast

we get to see "Orange" guy everyother inning.

What is it about those people? Do you guys ever sit in your seat? Your up walking around ALL THE TIME. These are the guys who start the wave.

by Harknights on Apr 12, 2008 12:55 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Fans in the 'Lou

should be the last ones complaining about doing the wave. Just sayin'.

It's fine

so long as it's not in the late innings in a tight game.

Which, consequently, is where the wave makes frequent appearances at Busch.

Is he the strange fan who's at every game and who everyone knows about?

When I was a kid going to Albuquerque Dukes games (before the bolted and were replaced by the Isotopes - thank you, Simpsons), there was a guy who sat behind home plate and had a strange little stuffed animal he swung around on a little souvenir bat. He always got up and led the singing during the 7th inning stretch. I think he had cerebral palsy, although I had no idea what that was at the time. Seeing him was one of my favorite parts of going to the games.

by BTown Birds fan on Apr 12, 2008 1:06 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

old guys in coon skin caps

400lb bald guys in orange body paint from head to toe. with the letters SF in black on his face. carrying orange Hulk hands.

and that's just the last half inning on FSN Bay Area. they were scanning the crowd.

like i said, no offense meant towards anyone on here from the Bay. but wow.

Ha!

Thanks for the descriptions, gdm and Harknights. I had this notion of laid back fans, but I'm probably confusing SF with southern California. I should know better - I've spent some time in SF and seen some interesting folks....

I don't know why I'd really have much idea of any California team fans; I've never been to any games out there.

Seagulls

They seem like fair weather fans. They don't even bother to show up before the 8th inning.

Jimmy steps in to lead off the bottom half of the inning... with nobody on base... It could happen... just not tonight.
