    OK. We finally have owners who want to win. Kind of like the new owners of those two universities.

    6-2

    Tim Hudson has been outstanding in his two starts. I heard that Brandon Belt changed his batting grip at the end of last season. Since that time he's been on fire offensively.

    It sure is nice to have the A's as a farm team for pitchers.

    apparently the Giants offered Kung-Fu Panda a 3 year $40 million dollar deal which he turned down. That sounds like a pretty fair deal to me.

    Giants GM Sabean mentioned Pablo is going to have to have an incredible season if he thinks the Giants are going to offer more than that.

    I have such white-hot hatred for that Blue Baseball Team, that I am a fan of the Giants in sympathy.

    We're at five!

    After this weekend's game in which Madison Bumgarner (stage name?) gave up 5 runs but then hit a grandslam and a sac fly to make up for it, I expect this bandwagon to fill up quite quickly.

    welcome aboard LuckyUte

    Matt Cain looked good in his last start which was a huge relief. Lincecum and Vogelsong are still questionable. One of those two need to figure it out if the Giants want to make the playoffs. I'd guess Vogelsong would be the more likely option. Its looking more and more like Sabean should have let the Freak walk.

    You still have to be concerned about the corners. Kung Fu Panda and the Baby Giraffe are wildly inconsistent, as is Pence in right field.

    Funny because I support the team in blue because of the giants stance on San Jose.

    So I said to David Eckstein, "You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.

    Funk, be reasonable. Let's compromise: the Giants get the Silicon Valley billionaires and the A's can keep their monopoly on the East Bay. Seems like a win-win for everyone!

    Also, thanks for the pitching!
