It’s hard to believe my last blog was over a month ago! A lot has happened in the month of August! The Giants have had an up & down month also Lincecum & Zito had been struggling.  Up until last night Timmy pitched a gem against Jimenez and the Rockies, going 8 innings, gave up 1 run and 9K’s I don’t know what had been wrong with him this past month but hopefully he’ll have the same stuff through the end & maybe the playoffs.  The Giants are probably going to make the playoffs, a lot of people didn’t think they would but with San Diego struggling and the Giants have improvement with their offense they can possibly win the division if not the wild card.
  This upcoming road trip can be tough on them however.  They go to LA this weekend (who are struggling so they should at least win 2 out of 3 or even better sweep them again! But i dont want to be jinxing anything! The Giants sure made two smart moves by bringing up Posey from AAA and acquiring Pat Burrell from waivers.  They’ve sure improved our offense in the past three months.  However the pitching had been a little rusty though Bumgarner, Cain & Sanchez had been hot lately but have earned ND. I think Andres Torres will be come back player of the year, he has been fantastic for the Giants, offensively & defensively. He’s sure come a long way after being in the minors for several years & a lot of injuries. I don’t want to make this long, i am right now watching Yankees beat the A’s actually a 4 game sweep! Which is good because i cannot stand the Angels being below chokeland.   I think they took 2/3 from Seattle and are heading to Oakland this weekend, hopefully its a good series even though the Angels probably won’t make it this year. ;( next time! hopefully sooner than a month!
