GDT #37: May 12, 2014 Braves (Floyd) @ Giants (Lincecum)

When a band starts as badly as this thread, they just stop and start over. I recommend a similar plan of action.

I imagine that even the Beatles had false starts from time to time.

Actually, I have the recordings to prove it.

 

[Julio3000]

Then why is Justin Upton batting second?

Or, did you mean biggest waste?

Bravo.

 

[GovClintonTyree]

He's been huge this year.

Like, 28, 29.

BMI.

I'm hoping this thread is able to appropriately honor Laird's presence in the middle of the lineup. It does not happen every night. I call on everyone to give us their biggest effort.

#DoNotTradeTheLaird

 

[Julio3000]

You could say they broke camp, even.

Oh my.

Camp didn't stand a chance.

 

[GovClintonTyree]

I don't think anyone fully appreciates the magnitude of their contributions.

Oh, no question. They've been ****ing huge.

 

[GovClintonTyree]

Oh my.

Camp didn't stand a chance.

Neither did wind.

 

[Hulavol]

I like Pena in the 9 hole.
I think we might actually score some runs tonight! First beer cracked in preparation.

 

[nsacpi]

It is worth noting that we have not had a single whine tonight about Gattis' absence from the lineup. We are off to a swimming start.

Hula! What's the latest on Oso's knees.

I guarantee that he'll come up big tonight. We know that, as a veteran leader, his opinion already carries immense weight with this team, and he's just bursting with baseball knowledge. Tonight we'll see just how much weight he carries. He may not put the fat part of the bat on the ball every time, but you just know that he plays hungry.

 

[Julio3000]

^^^^^

 

[GovClintonTyree]

He does play hungry.

Beats Uggla in the 7 hole.

I don't know: I think we've attributed appropriate gravity to the subjects.

 

[Julio3000]

Beats Uggla in the 7 hole.

So Frank tells me to find a hole to put Uggla in and to keep him there, right? And six weeks later he tells me that he didn't mean a lineup spot. I mean, come on, Mr. General Manager! Don't be so damned cryptic next time.

 

[nsacpi]

He does play hungry.

My fondest memory of Laird is him reaching down to grab some dirt before throwing out Dee Gordon in the playoffs last year. He is the biggest smartest old he coon out there. A little scrawny guy like Dee Gordon had no chance against Laird.

 

[Julio3000]

I don't know: I think we've attributed appropriate gravity to the subjects.

Gravity is right. I hear the young guys are practically in their orbit.

 

[Julio3000]

Gravity's Harangbow.

 

[GovClintonTyree]

I don't know: I think we've attributed appropriate gravity to the subjects.

Gravity applies equally to all objects, regardless of mass.

Except, perhaps, Laird and Harang.
