that's it, fuck all of you faggots!!! if you're man enough, meet me somewhere and I'll beat your ass in real life and then... wait, what's that?... oh shit, my bad... somebody already played that card
that may very well be true, but its concerning the team is struggling like crazy to score against playoff teams. absolutely dominated by the red sox and reds pitching.
would love a sweep but like noted above, sweeping losers ain't the same as getting swept by contenders
Giants were 1-5 vs. the Nats last year and they beat them in the NLDS. I don't think they were above .500 against the Reds or Cards either. Not saying it wouldn't have been nice to beat some good teams, but during our streak we did and even against those we didn't, it's not like that's going to be a guaranteed exact replica of the playoffs. A lot more preparation and better alignment occurs in the playoffs, not to mention it's pretty random. We're cool
They beat the Reds in the NLDS. But yeah, I get what you're saying. Weren't we always getting spanked by the Cards when we swept them in 09?
Ah shit you're right, it was the bitchass Cards who beat the Nats! Well, the Giants didn't have a winning record against the Reds OR Cards, and my point about the nats was also that they didn't have a winning record against a good, playoff team. And yeah we were 2-5 against the Cards and 4-3 vs. the Phillies, another good example of regular season needing to be thrown out the window. in 2008 we were 2-5 against the Cubs as well. My point: Although it's always great to win games against good teams, it isn't something I would take playoff stock into, regardless of what happens in the playoffs it'll happen cause of that time, not really cause of something of the regular season.
Good points Doyer... It would have been nice to beat the better teams... that's all I fully agree that the playoffs are different... but I'd like to go in hot because THAT always seems to matter
