13 and a half my friend and they only had to climb over one team. Good news for the other west teams... the Domer WR is coming back.
RE: The Giants party like its 1951 - Phogge - 08-15-2018
I’d like to add Jim Hearn and Monte Irvin to patrol LF. Could use a spark plug like Stanky too.

Only Willie Mays remains from the ‘51 Giants but four Brooklyn Dodgers survive. Name them. Hint: 3 pitchers.

Pitcher Jim Hearn? Lol

Don Newcombe
All I can think of.
However on the Dodgers briefly was the only player ever thrown out of a game without ever playing On a MLB game. How was it ?

I have a baseball signed by the 1951 Giants which my father received as a kid. He played catch with it so some of the signatures are faded. There are 2 players whose names I cannot find on the ball - Mays and Bobby Thompson.

LOL thanks for the kiss of death, my friend!

When McCutchen hit that HR I thought I was safe

Phogge knows this, the answer basketball great Bill Sharman.

Giants just had to put DRod on the DL with a hamstring injury from the Tues brawl with the Dodgers.
That pretty much does it for this year.
RE: The Giants - BobK - 08-16-2018
Bottom line. Puig throws three punches suspended for 2 games. DRod out for at least 10 for being there.

Puig should be suspended 30 games
Wish we had Sal Maglie and Larry Jansen from that 51 team.
I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Sal "The Barber" Maglie give Puig a close shave...

I'm not so sure that's a bad thing. Dereck has pitched 400+ innings across all leagues in the last 24 months. I think he should be shut down now.
RE: The Giants - Phogge - 08-17-2018
Bobbbbb, Hearn was 17-8 in ‘51. Completed a bunch of games unlike the pussies these days.
RE: The Giants - BobK - 08-17-2018
Thought you were calling Herarn an OFer? My bad

I wasn’t aware of that, thanks. I agree. There’s nothing left to be gained in this season.
RE: The Giants - Phogge - 08-17-2018
They done.

I’ll let the more knowledgeable folks comment.

Great player, good clubhouse guy offers little to a club in need of a makeover.
