Living On The Edge

Matt Cain should have taken the lead for the most wins in Major League Baseball today. He certainly pitched well enough. The biggest problem was that the Giants could not generate runs. Cain shutout the Pirates in 9 innings, giving up only 3 hits yet he ended the day with a no-decision. Giants closer, Brain [...]


Perfection

Well it seems that we should give the outfielders more credit then just that they catch easy fly balls. Especially after what Dewayne Wise did in the 9th inning to save Mark Bueherle’s perfect game by barreling into the center-field wall, reaching over, and stopping a home run. This is the second time this year [...]


One Step Away

Buster Posey, catcher in the San Francisco Giants farm system, is just one step away from the big leagues. He joined the AAA Fresno Grizzles today after skipping AA. He will play today in the first game back from the AAA all-star game. He was batting .357 in 12 games this month in single-A. He [...]


San Francisco Giants Midseason Report

The Giants may find themselves in the play-offs after all this year. They finished the first half of the season 10 games above .500 with a 49-39 record. They are 2.0 games ahead of the Colorado Rockies in the National League Wild Card race and 7.0 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National [...]

Cain Hurt In Giants 49th Win Of The Season

Last nights win gave the Giants their NL wild card leading 49th win but pitcher Matt Cain was only part of it for 1 2/3 innings. Late in the second inning Cain took a line drive off his elbow and after he threw one practice pitch (that went 2 feet over catcher Eli Whiteside’s head [...]


From One Extreme To The Other

Going into last night’s game I do not think anyone was expecting this. Last night Jonathan Sanchez pitched the first Giants no-hitter in 33 years and he pitched it against the San Diego Padres. It was the first no-hitter in AT&T Park and was only an error by the third baseman away from a perfect [...]


Help Give Sandoval the Final Push He Needs To Go To The All-Star Game!!

So the voting for the starting line-ups for the 2009 baseball all-star game is done but voting is not over yet! There is still the final vote that will decide the final player for the line-up. Pablo Sandoval, San Francisco Giants 3rd baseman, is one of the five National league players to be put on [...]
