Playoffs, we hardly knew ye

PREVIOUSLY ON THE SHoP...

Fuck you, San Francisco. I didn't want to see the no-hitter tonight anyway.

THE FOLLOWING TAKES PLACE BETWEEN 3:00 PM AND 4:00 PM.

EVENTS OCCUR IN REAL TIME.


Well, I think we should kiss off any playoff chances we have... Giants Nay-shun, fellow Citizen SHoPpers, Giants Nay-shun!

Notes: Benitez still the closer

We're going for 10 in a row right now! Although since we're leading 8-3 in the top of the eighth, we might not get #10. Yes, that's ten losses. Did I mention Giants Nay-shun?

Here's an excerpt from the article above, because none of you wonderful Citizen SHoPpers will bother to read it:

Despite three consecutive blown saves on the road trip, a 13.50 ERA, .417 average against and two homers over that stretch, it'll still be Benitez theoretically coming to the rescue for the foreseeable future...

Benitez, 4-2 with a 2.86 ERA and 13 saves this season, has said repeatedly the team has struggled in other ways -- hitting, defense, you name it -- and that he's hardly alone in causing defeats.

"We're having bad luck," Benitez said of the current eight-game losing streak. "In the situation when I saved seven games in a row, nobody talked about it. It's hard to try to do the job, and people only look at it one way.

Whatever, FUCKER!!! You have one job, and that's to get the three outs which will let the G-men go into the clubhouse. Wow, you did it--

<update location="in-game">
Goddam Giants have given up 3 runs in the top of the ninth, leading 8-6 with two outs. Guess who's in the game now? Oh, and guess who walked his batter to let the tying run come to the plate?

Ha ha, guess who just got pulled?

seven games in a row? Wow. BFD. That's your job. Shit, that's a small part of your job. That's like me saying "I checked my e-mail at work."
