    A's/Giants was great. Felt like playoffs. The Giants double play to get out of the what was it 11th inning was reminiscent of the double play in Game 2 of the Braves/Giants in 2010.



    Also, Crawford's catch was unreal. Incredibly Simmons of him.


    Too bad Oakland won. Giants need all the wins they can get.

      Great game. MadBum walking in runs was great fun to watch. We gotta get rid of the chairs in the pen. It's not their first offense.

      Weird game but I'll take the W.

      Glad to part of a record crowd. I've got no voice.

        Clayton Kershaw hadn't lost a game in July in 5 years until yesterday's 4-2 loss to Milwaukee.

          Brewers fans really gave Josh Hader a standing ovation after what went down. Woof.

              Neither am I unfortunately. Would be naive of me to expect a less shameful reaction.

                Never knew this was happening. Kind of sad promoting by that company if you have a wrestling show in the city and I don't think I've seen a single commercial or ad for it. But cool sight to see him throwing out the first pitch at the Jays game today.

                  Yeah if he said all that today he would be cut almost instantly. But he was 17, and we dont know what kind of demons he was living with that the time and people do change. Especially from childhood to adulthood.

                    So you'd prefer Hader be shamed continually? C'mon. It was Milwaukee's way of showing their support and appreciation to Hader for his actions after the fact, not in approval of the tweets. I probably would've clapped in my appreciation for how he handled himself too as I'm glad Hader (appeared at least) was contrite, apologetic and willing to accept any consequence. The reaction from his teammates and the club reflect good on Hader too.

                    Everybody makes mistakes but this age of social media refuses to allow people to change and be better.

                      Or... he could be treated like every other time he enters the game? He essentially was celebrated for at one time presenting horrible beliefs, then responding in a way that any human should. He didn't do anything special and certainly nothing to be celebrated.

                        The guy has been blasted for a week about his character and that he shouldn't play, be thrown off a cliff, etc...I don't think it's wrong to show support for a man that really faced a storm and came through it very respectfully.

                          And he deserved every bit of it. I can't empathize with him.

                            Who was praising him for his racist tweets? I didn't read that?

                            I don't view the ovation as a celebration but rather support/encouragement that the fans still support him. If he chose not to respond at all, if his teammates shunned him...no way he gets the reception he did.

                            But hey, that's my take.

                              I understand that completely.

                              I just think of my own past and how regretful I am of things I've done in the past. I'm certainly not the same man or think the same way so I'm more willing to hope/believe can change.

                              EDIT: The tone sounds like I'm throwing shade on you but that's not my intent. I'm just saying I get why you think like that and that my own personal experiences make me think somewhat differently.
