The feeling of having Ramon Ramirez pitching in a 1-0 game must be the Giants’ fan equivalent of having Scott Proctor pitch that situation

DOMINANT

“Freak,” whatevs. Will report on SF Chronicle headlines in the a.m.

Awesome! Now, a series win against Ariz. 5-2 week? Let’s take care of business THIS week end!

Leah – no interview tonight. Just watching the game with my son.
And yes, I booed Georgie lustily when he singled. Got many strange looks in the stands.

Great game and terrific crowd. Lots of chanting. The place went bonkers on Chipper’s homer and double. What a series win!

@126 Ramirez is actually a pretty good pitcher.
August 18th, 2011 at 11:18 pm
And just think……WE WERE ALL ready to dump Minor for Beltran 20 days ago…..
August 18th, 2011 at 11:31 pm
@133 Not me. I knew how injury prone Beltran was and to give up 6 years of cheap service of a young lefty was not worth the two months of Beltran.
August 19th, 2011 at 12:03 am
Well if not Beltran….someone else……. I know I was….(hand raised)
August 19th, 2011 at 1:31 am
Minor, Delgado, Vizcaino: 14 IP, 1 R. Thanks, Frank.

Freeman #1 on SC top 10 plays
August 19th, 2011 at 6:55 am
Nate, which play, catch in the crowd or one of his fabulous digs at first? That man put on a show!
August 19th, 2011 at 8:00 am
132 — I said that cause lately he’s been bad. 6 runs (all earned) in 5.1 IP for August. OK, so maybe not Proctor-bad, but Linebrink-bad (as bad as Linebrink’s been his last couple outings)?
133 — definitely. At the time, I was ready to trade Minor for Beltran. Very, very glad we didn’t do that. Can’t have enough pitching.

Check out ESPN.com and who’s on the front page! Triple Trouble!

138, It was his over the tarp, through the fans catch.

#136 – Nate, I’m stealing it for Twitter.

Check this out from @fauxfrankwren http://t.co/sQHvq1s. Freaking love it.

Wow folks…….Can you believe that the top two Rookie of the year canidates will be from the Braves?
Good (side) topic for this weeks or a future show….. Kimbrel or Freeman for ROY?

SF Chronicle defending Lincecum. “One bad pitch” “Lack of run support” “There was nothing else he could’ve done.”

SF Chronicle defending Lincecum. “One bad pitch” “Lack of run support” “There was nothing else he could’ve done.”
they are right. Licecum pitched great, but Minor was something else last night, and O’ventbrel did their thing. Our pitching overpowered them. Good, close win.

#145, 146: Agreed. They are absolutely right. We were just better. Bwahahahahahahahahaha!

Braves shirt getting a thorough scolding today, each vet tech one by one. La-hoo za-hers.

With the recent posts about Minor, how about we revive an earlier discussion:
Order the pitchers (as in who would you trade first – and the “I wouldn’t trade any of them for anything” doesn’t wash…):
(the list, in no particular order)
Beachy
Minor
Delgado
Terhan
Vizcaino
August 19th, 2011 at 1:18 pm
Assuming that everyone comes back “healthy”, we have five starting spots next season with more than five pitchers:
Lowe
Hudson
Hanson
JJ
Minor
Beachy
Medlen
Delgado
Terehan (sorry about the misspelling in 149)
Nine pitchers for five spots. I think we can assume trading Lowe gets us nothing and I think we can assume that no one wants him to start for ATL next season. SO, with that in mind, make it eight pitchers for five spots.
If you can obtain a piece that the Braves need (i.e. shortstop with offense AND defense, corner outfielder (IF you Chipper retires AND IF you want to move Prado to 3B), a third baseman (Chip retires, keep Prado in LF), etc.)…
Who do you trade?
