Quotes:

“The team’s pissed! The team is pissed off! You know, we’re not swinging the bats, we’re not pitching. You know, we’re not playing the way that we can play. There’s no doubt about that. We’re not getting it done! Bottom line. We’re not getting it done on the mound, we’re not getting it done on the plate…but we’ve got to get it done. We’ve got to get it done on the field. We’ve got to get it done in the clubhouse, coaches, myself…We all gotta get it done. Okay?”
Bud Black – (Fox Sports San Diego)

“No, not really…”
Jedd Gyorko, answering Kelly Crull‘s question of “When you witness something like this, is it impressive?” – (Fox Sports San Diego)

Something, something, “two strikes.”

Sorry, Bill Center (aka, Sez Bill). I had to.

Actually, I’m not sorry. Blame Andy Masur.

Pablo Sandoval opened the floodgates with a RBI double in the 1st.

Brandon Belt hit a 2-run home run in the 4th.

Hunter Pence hit a bases-loaded triple in the 5th.

Belt added on in the 5th with an RBI single.

Pence added insult to injury with his home run in the top of the 8th and then made a defensive gem in the bottom of the 8th.

  • In hindsight my decision to watch a season 5 marathon of Breaking Bad last night seems all the more prescient.

    Did Buddy force the media horde to go into the shower when he said that quote?

  • Wait, is Cashner wearing a “Little Ninja Amarista” tank? Because he’s making it really hard to dislike him.

    • Cashner has a wonderful blend of quirkiness. So we have that going for us right?

      There’s a cool piece from Jeff Sanders in the U-T last night about Cashner. It includes multiple Fangraph’s citations.

    I like to think I was doing the giants fans a service. Do they really want to look back on this game and remember playing with a beach ball or watching every pitch? Also I’m a no-fun jerk.
