Giant of the Week: Randy Winn

It was a dismal week for the Giants. After a joyful weekend against the Dodgers, the team suffered a four game sweep in Houston that could easily qualify for the worst series of the year. Really, the best things that happened this week were that some draft picks were signed and Tim Lincecum didn't get hurt too bad. But while the team flounders, one Giant is tearing it up at the plate this month. The right fielder is batting .446 for the month of August, and last night missed the cycle by a triple with a solid 4-for-4. His home run was also career dinger number 100.

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.
