Adams gives up lead, Padres lose in the 14th

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - JULY 6: Pat Neshek #34 of the San Diego Padres walks after giving up a walk off home run to Nate Schierholtz #12 of the San Francisco Giants in the bottom of the 14th inning during a MLB baseball game at AT&T Park July 6, 2011 in San Francisco, California. The Giants won the game 6-5. (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)

I fell asleep listening to the game on the radio long before it ended. It must be all this non-stop blogging that makes me so tired. I did see Mike Adams give up a two run double and the lead in the 8th that ruined a pretty well pitched game. It wasn't until this morning that I heard the news that Pat Neshek was the victim of a walk off home run in the 14th inning.

"This game is totally on myself," said Adams. "None of these other guys should have pitched except Heath (Bell, the closer). I'm just very disappointed in myself right now. With respect to everyone else in this game, I consider myself one of the best, if not the best, in this game. This stuff should never happen.

I'll tell you who I'm disappointed in. Chase Headley. That guy can rake and yet with one out in the 9th inning and the go ahead run at third he takes a Brian Wilson fast ball right down the center of the plate on the first pitch and then strikes out on a ball that was eye level. I expect that type of thing from other players, but not him, I expect more from him.

In other news San Francisco fans were all pissed yesterday at Chad Qualls. I guess you can't spike a baseball in an opposing player's face anymore without the player and the fan base getting all butt hurt.

"Like I said, I meant no disrespect," said Qualls. "I’m sorry for doing it. That’s not what I meant to do. I play the game with passion. It was really adrenaline that came through me and that’s just what happened."

I'd probably be annoyed if another player did that to a Padre too, but San Francisco fans should be used to watching douchey antics on their field. I'm surprised they even noticed.

In any case I like the mutual hatred that is developing between these two teams. It makes the games more fun to watch.

Apparently the Padres and Giants set a new strike out record as well:

Douchey antics by Giants players on Wednesday

Pablo Sandoval standing to admire what ended up being a double. Personally I don’t mind that one because if he had run there’s a chance that even he could have had a triple.

Sergio Romo’s glove pound and yelling at the Padres after he got a strikeout for the 3rd out of an inning. If Romo was actually taunting the Padres, that seems far worse than the other two. Verbal taunting is something that is a little harder to keep from turning into a fight compared to spiked baseballs and idiot Pandas not knowing how far a ball will travel.

I kind of think seeing the emotion of the game come out is fun and exciting. It’s people getting butt hurt about stuff that makes leagues like the N.F.L. tone down touchdown celebrations. Do the Giants want fines or something for douchey antics? Because if they do I think they’ll be worse off than Padres players. I’m looking at you Brian Wilson.

we should take away his triple-cheeseburgers and cheese cake with a 48oz Oreo Shake pre game snack.

that will make him cry.

BTW, I thought there was a lot of press about him getting into shape.

Douchebaggery is at an all time high

Myabe its the fact we watch more games than in the past, but the amount of d-bagness in MLB right now is just awflul. Doesn’t matter what game I turn on, KC/Min two team I have no conenction to and I can see 2-4 for dbags per game.

I can never get that confident we'll win a game

whenever Moseley starts. Even when he’s good (like last night), we somehow find ways to lose those games. He’s like a black cat or broken mirror. . .just flat out bad luck.

Therefore, I was not surprised to wake up this morning (after going to bed before we blew the 5-3 lead) to find we’d lost in extras. Also wasn’t surprised that Neshek gave up the home run. I think he’s good for at least one homer whenever he comes in.

But whatever. Luebke will help us win the series today. And at least Heath got a day off so he’ll be primed to get the big save for us.

When I think of Giants Douchey moments

The first thing that comes to mind is the game when Matt Cain wiped the SD off our mound. That’s probably the most Douchey moment for me.

this would make me so happy

if they just kept coming out and putting it back on.

like, immediately after he wipes it off. don’t care if the inning is about to start or has already started.

Better idea: Make it a trap.

Bury a steel plate just under the logo so that when he goes to dig a hole in it, he hurts his foot.

Chad Billingsley did this too

in what I think was his debut as a Dodger starter. It’s seared into my memory and I’ve hated him ever since. I’m looking forward to going to tomorrow’s game here in LA to see him get slapped around by Mat Latos and the Pads.

It happens all the time in the 49ers endzone. Zing!

I'm bummed Latos won't be pitching this series

After all, Mat “Hates SF” as we all do. Mat could pretty much throw at any Giant and manhandle them if they even thought about rushing the mound, Not saying Mat would do that, but it sure would be fun. At the least, he would get all pumped up and do something that would tick of the Gigantes.

Even though we aren’t going to get within six games this series, it’s been the most exciting series of the year. Already have my tickets to the July 16th game and I can’t wait. Based on getting tickets, I think it’s going to be a monster crowd.

Must take the series tonight.

Mat Latos is the real deal...Go Lakers, Pads, and Bolts

i hate to be that guy complaining about the strike zone

And I rarely do. But when brian wilson was pitching that strike zone was ridiculous.

by SD Jake on Jul 7, 2011 12:22 PM PDT via mobile reply actions

I didn't see a problem with it.

And it looked good on the strike zone they give on MLB’s Gameday page. Rizzo makes some of those pitches look more inside that they actually are because he really crowds the plate. Our pitchers were getting those same calls to lefties on the inside part of the plate.
