Walker Reemerges

Tyler Walker spent some time as the Giants closer back in 2005 - saving 23 games in 25 opportunities. After undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2006, he returned to the Giants rotation late last season, and has made his mark thus far in 2008. Last night, Walker earned a hold with a scoreless eighth that included two strikeouts. The day before, he limited the damage in the ninth against the Padres with an inning-ending double play. If Brian Wilson continues to struggle, I'd support giving Walker another shot at closer.

Staying Loyal


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.
