Finally, A Win

If the Giants have any hope of avoiding 100 losses, they are going to have to win a lot of games like last night's 2-1 victory over the Dodgers. By that I don't mean winning more rain-delayed games with Tim Lincecum coming out of the bullpen and then scoring the winning run. For the most part, last night's game was a model of what the Giants need to do, and didn't do last year. Strong pitching, with a couple good situational at-bats, and a strong bullpen on the end. Who knows if they'll be able to consistently get that, but hey, we won't be 0-162!


It has been difficult to be a Giants fan these last several years - losing records, injuries, and bad contracts. We may be critical - but we stand by our team through good times and bad. The Giants remain one of the most storied franchises in the history of baseball and have a crop of new stars ready to add new pages to the Giants history books. Lincecum, Cain, Sanchez, Wilson and Sandoval are giving us reasons to be excited. Times may not always be stellar, but the Giants always give us something to talk about.
