Cant believe its mid-June!

 I remember waiting for three long months for the season to start & now there’s 3 1/2 months left. ;O Time flies during baseball season.  Good thing i like the NBA because they help me get through the MLB offseason lol.  
   Anyway enough of that, the Giants have been playing well this month so far, they’ve won all their series’ so far including sweeping the A’s at At&t Park, which was retaliation from being swept in Oakland a month ago.   Lincecum seems to be slowly coming back into his old self, and Zito & Cain have been outstanding the last couple of starts.  Today’s game was good, not what i would say Lincecum’s best with the 8 hits but he did get 10 k’s and managed to get out of a couple of jams.  He has been pitching better than he has the preivious 5 or 6 starts.  He had some really rough outings against AZ, Washington & Colorado.  I think he’ll have his third all star selection this year, i am not sure about starter though because Jimenez is 11-1 and has 1.10 era (not exact but im too lazy to look it up)  I am not sure if Zito will go, but he does deserve it, if not he’ll definitely be come back player of the year if he keeps his dominance up.
  Anyhow Cain has had three CG’s this season & was dominate on Sunday against the A’s.  He’s now 5-4, hopefully he could make the all star team, and Brian Wilson too.  Wilson has also been closing out games & getting the job done.  I also think Juan Uribe deserves to be in the ASG, he’s been one of our biggest power hitters, hopefully he’ll get enough write-ins.
 I am glad SF finally brought up Buster Posey he has helped this team a lot, also acquiring Pat Burrell was another big addition.  Their offense is improving over what i saw the last two months.  
  OK talking about the Angels a bit, i do think teams in general should celebrate their walkoffs differently.  Its dumb to have someone injured over a freak accident, like what happened to Kendry Morales who might be out for the year. Their team looks okay enough to win the division, they do need some pitching help.  I am excited the ASG is at Angel stadium this year, it would be awesome to go but its really expensive, i tried going to the one at At&t park a few years ago & it was just too much. ;/ It’ll be nice to see the old legends and HOF’ers that i followed over the years when i lived down in LA area.  ;) Anyway im gonna close now, i know im not a great writer but i love to rant so don’t criticize my grammar.  I’ve had plenty of that. ;)

3 weeks til Opening Day!

 I am sure a lot of people agree with me that Spring Training is a a bit too long, and a lot of the fans just want the season to start.  I don’t like the month of March for many reasons and its so long while i am waiting anxiously for April. I do enjoy listening to some of the Giants games on KNBR & the mlb app but i much rather watch them on tv or be there. I can’t believe i’ve never visited Arizona during spring training. Hopefully next year i can plan better and go with someone & my parents didn’t want me going alone, though i know i would be just fine.
  Anyway I am sure excited for my first game on April 10th, Hopefully its Cain or Bumgarner pitching because i haven’t seen them at at&t park yet.  I created a fantasy baseball team this year.  i haven’t done that in 6 or 7 years, i felt like i have more time in my life. 
  I honestly think the Giants should keep Buster Posey with the Giants instead of sending him down to Fresno, hopefully they can have three catchers on the team or have him play first. I like Bengie, i’ve liked him since he came up with the Angels, but since he’s getting older he’ll probably want to take more days off.  Posey is really tearing it up so far in Scottsdale, so is Aubrey Huff. Hopefully that’ll carry on through the season when it counts. I know Timmy has been struggling a little, but he’s probably still a little rusty from the long winter. I wouldn’t worry to much! I haven’t heard of games since the AT Bat app doesn’t work very well on my ipod & my house doesn’t have wireless internet. I’d have to sit in a coffee shop for 3 hours and keep ordering coffee lol jk
 I watched the Angels vs Cubs yesterday on wgn, i was happy to finally see a ball game on tv for the first time in months.  I think the Angels may have a hard time this season since they lost their ace Lackey & a few key hitters.  I know they were playing mostly rookies so its hard to tell now.

Let the games begin!

 Spring training games started this week in FLA & Arizona. I so wish i could afford two homes, one here & one in Arizona for the winter, i dislike rainy & cold weather in Northern California.  Anyway yesterday was the first game for the Giants against Seattle, it started off with Aubrey Huff showing he can hit, hopefully he’s this hot during the season when we need it.  Timmy (Lincecum) was a little rusty on the mound during his first and only inning, but that is understandable, these guys get rusty after a long winter! They ended up winning 8-7. Today they played the Brewers & Zito plunked Fielder, i guess it was for revenge from last year, but i don’t remember what happened during that game except his walk off and his show off thing at the plate, i assume thats what set him off.  The giants scored 4 runs in the 5th & ended up with their 2nd spring victory.
   I haven’t been blogging about my Angels lately, i know most Giant fans hate them but i like them because i grew up in SoCal & always liked them better than the Dodgers haha. The reason why i like the Cards is because i cant stand the Cubs, and i wish their games were on wgn instead. lol  Sadly they lost there game against the Mets 17-11 which is insane but i guess they didn’t have their key players in which is understandable, but what a wild game anyway!
 Anyhow the Angels got rid of a few key players during the off season, I am real heartbroken that Lackey went to the Red Sox & Guerrero went to Texas. :O He really wasn’t helping the Angels in the past two seasons so i am not sure how well he’ll do with the Rangers.  They’re underway with their game with the White Sox but are behind ;/

  I finally got the At Bat app which is working great so far, but it uses up a lot of battery power.   Its nice since not all the games are on KNBR so its worth it!  Im gonna close & again i’ll be blogging more often since now there’s games going on.
