Sanchez Doubles in Sixth

Yesterday, the Giants went up 6-0 in the first, but the negatron in me thought, "Well the Mets have eight innings to come back." They did chip away with two runs, and in the bottom of the sixth, Bruce Bochy was faced with a big decision - with runners on second and third and one out, let Sanchez bat or pinch hit? Bochy elected to let Sanchez bat, and what a good call it was - Sanchez launched a double to the deepest part of right field, putting the game away at 8-2. It was another highlight in what has been an exciting couple of weeks for the Giants. And maybe I am mistaken, but when Sanchez went in to second, he yelled, "Fuck the DH!"


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.
