Giants storm ahead, blow lead, come back, swear a lot | The roller coaster (of ❤) ride continues

Giants storm ahead, blow lead, come back, swear a lot


This game was a microcosm of the Giants roller-coaster of a season. They do keep battling back. Who knew that the Reverend Hunter Pence had such a little potty mouth? I would have never guessed. I'll forgive him after he busted his ass beating out the tailor made DP ball he hit that extended the 7th inning rally and led to Duffy's safety squeeze, one of the most under-rated offensive weapons in baseball.  If Pence gets doubled up, there is no squeeze play possibility with runner on 3rd and two out and maybe the Padres get out of the inning with the lead.

from Yahoo Sports:
Giants storm ahead, blow lead, come back, swear a lot - Yahoo Sports:
Just a typical Thursday night at the yard.

I'll admit to being jaded. The Giants had a 10-game lead, and then they didn't. Playing after the 162nd game is always special -- I still consider the 1998 Giants a playoff team, dang it -- but there was something about the way the Giants lost the lead. There was something about all those wins leading to a humiliating night at Dodger Stadium.

This is how we got down in the '70's yo. Hey, if the Pirates can ride "We are Family" to a world title, why can't the Giants ride the "Love Roller Coaster" all the way through October? Like a licorice twist gonna whip your ass, indeed!! I heard that!!!

I am going to ruin future Giants game watching for Mrs. TheSlav for the rest of the season (the playoffs and / or World Series included) , but here goes.....

Ohio Players "Love Rollercoaster"

Apparently inspired by a very turbulent flight inspiring this description by one of the band members — “Someone on the plane commented that they must love their jobs, since the airplane ride was a "love rollercoaster.”*

Ohio Players – Love Rollercoaster Lyrics

You give me that funny feeling in my tummy
Ahw sh.., yeah, that's right huh
Rollercoaster of love say what
Rollercoaster yeah (oohh oohh oohh)

Oh baby you know what I'm talking about
Rollercoaster of love
Oh yeah it's rollercoaster time

Lovin' you is really wild
Oh it´s just a love rollercoaster
Step right up and get your tickets

Your love is like a rollercoaster baby,baby
I want to ride yeah (awawaw)
Your love is like a rollercoaster baby,baby
I want to ride yeah (awawaw)

Move over dad 'cause I'm a double dipple
Upside down on the big dip dipper
1,2, 1,2,3 I've got a ticket come ride with me
Let me go down on the merry-go-round
All is fair 'n' a big fair ground
Let's go slow, let's go fast
Like a liquorice twist gonna whip your ass

Your love is like a rollercoaster baby,baby
I want to ride yeah (awawaw)
Your love is like a rollercoaster baby,baby
I want to ride yeah (awawaw)

Your love is like a rollercoaster baby,baby
I want to ride yeah (awawaw)
Your love is like a rollercoaster baby,baby
I want to ride yeah (awawaw)

Move over dad 'cause I'm a double dipple
Upside down on the big dip dipper
1,2, 1,2,3 I've got a ticket come ride with me
Let me go down on the merry-go-round
All is fair 'n' a big fair ground
Let's go slow, let's go fast
Like a liquorice twist gonna whip your ass

Your love is like a rollercoaster baby,baby
I want to ride yeah (awawaw)
Your love is like a rollercoaster baby,baby
I want to ride yeah (awawaw)

Rollercoaster say what
I will be there for you I will be your man
