Down to 6 games..

  Most of the mlb teams have 6 or 7 games remaining this season.  The Giants remain 1/2 game above San Diego, Its like a roller coaster.. This should be an interesting home series for the Giants & have the Padres coming in this weekend.  Hopefully they’ll be pulled away from them and have clinched but its going to be close.  I have a feeling they will make it either the west division title or wild card winners.. This week they’ll have the D’backs in town, last time they came in they lost 2/3, which was embarrassing like that Milwaukee series. Madison Bumgarner needs a win at At&t park, he still has not won a decision at home.  Tomorrow they’ll have Sanchez who’s also been hot, right now Matt Cain has been the hottest on the staff. He almost no hit the Rockies yesterday, it was broken after 7 1/3 innings, it is the 2nd time he’s had a no-no broken up in the 8th inning. He is the kind of guy that can throw a no-no..  one day he’ll finally get one.  Tim Lincecum was back to his old self on Friday, he’s been having a rough season.  The scouts that said his greatness was behind him, they’re wrong, i can remember Greg Maddux & Randy Johnson having bad years.  I think he can win another Cy or two in  his future,
   This year is probably going to be Adam Wainwright , thats my guess.. I would say Jimenez but he’s had some bad starts lately & his era has gone up a bit. It’ll be close like last year i think.  As for the american league it’s gonna go to Sabathia. I cannot wait til the awards are announced but we still have the playoffs to get through, i hope it isn’t the Yankees winning again! ;( 

14 days left!

 We’re two weeks away from opening day! Can you believe it? The last offseason seemed to go by rather quickly.  I hate long, cold winters and having to wear 3 or 4 layers of clothes.
   Anyhow, CSN showed the Giants game last saturday and i must say they are looking very sharp, the offense mostly, which is important for them since they already have a fantastic pitching staff. Though Lincecum & Zito are struggling a little this spring, i think they’ll pull through and be unstoppable once the season starts.  These guys get a bit rusty, and it seems like Tim struggles through spring training.  Wellemeyer seemed sharp, he pitched on saturday & he probably will be their 5th starter & Bumgarner will either go to the bullpen or to AAA.  If Todd starts to struggle they may switch him with Bumgarner if he stays with the team.  I hope thats the case & also Buster Posey could stay with them & play a different position, i feel like he’s ready to go.  Honestly i like Bengie Molina, since he was on the Angels. He’ll be a good mentor for young Buster for the catching position. They’ve both been hot during spring training.  The Giants overall are 15-6, which is the best in MLB so far this spring, hopefully they aren’t worn out by opening day. I’ll be going to the game on opening night (april 10th) at AT&T Park !  I’ll be blogging much before then though. ;) Take care!
