Velez Hero Again!

For the second day in a row, Brian Wilson blew a save, only to have Eugenio Velez drive in the winning run a half inning later. Velez's hit was all the more exciting, considering it came with the Giants down 3-2 with two outs and an 0-2 count. Velez drove home two runners with his two-out triple, completing a sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks. We called Velez "a bright spot" after his great play during the first week of the season. After some struggles and a stint in Triple-A, Velez seems to have found his stroke.


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.
