Strong Start For Hennessey

Lost in the excitement of Eugenio Velez's game-winning triple is the fact that Brad Hennessey pitched a pretty darn good game for his first start in two years. He outdueled Arizona's Dan Haren, throwing six innings of one-run ball, allowing just four hits while striking out three. He left with the Giants up 2-1, but Brian Wilson allowed two runs in the ninth, giving Hennessey a no decision. Still, he certainly earned himself a second start if you ask me.


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.
