Hey Scorcho!
The Giants are 5-2. They lead the majors in home runs and runs. The only losses have come when our fifth starter, Matt Cain, pitches - what a bum. I expect all of these trends to continue.

I'm not much of a baseball fan, but I like the Giants.
There's a problem here for me: I don't hate the Giants. How can we have a decent rivalry here if I don't? Maybe you guys can help me out.
OK, that gives us four people on the Giants bandwagon! This thread has been much, much more successful than I anticipated.
LA, to answer your question of how we can have a decent rivalry, a nice first start would be you growing a Tim Lincecum moustache to demonstrate good will.

Last time the Giants won the World Series: 2012 (after winning in 2010)
Last time the Dodgers won the World Series: 1988
Sorry, was that a bit zoobish?
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.
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.

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.
Give us San Jose you bastards. A pox on you all.

You only have the San Jose territorial rights because of a historical accident by the A's. They gave their split rights to the Giants were looking at moving out of the Bay area. When the Giants didn't move, the rights didn't get transferred back. Despite this, the Giants act like those rights have always been there and are essential to their brand. Bud Selig has basically allowed the A's franchise to be slowly bled to death over this historical accident. I'm frustrated as all hell about the A's stadium situation. It needs to be fixed and Bud Selig's committee to investigate this that has taken years now is ridiculous. Give the rights to the A's and let them move. San Jose wants them and the A's want to be there.
The Beard is working spectacularly as an orange and black secret agent, although he needs to be more subtle. :D
Giants are now the winners of 4 straight (thanks, Cleveland!). It looks like we might be able to make some noise this year.
Are you referring to your team as the San Francisco Baseball Giants in order to differentiate them from another Giants team based in San Francisco? :stirthepot:
4-2 so far on the current 10 day road trip (without Ginshu Cain). If the Giants can finish 2-2 or better against the Dodgers this weekend I'll call this road trip a success.
The Fresno Grizzlies beat Kershaw yesterday with their bottom of the lineup looking like this:
P. Sandoval .189
Brandon Hicks .200
J. Arias .164
Juan Perez .095
E. Adrianza .176
T. Hudson .111
I think Bochy conceded the game with that lineup, but somehow the Giants found a way and know are tied for the best record in baseball.
The freak throws 7+ innings and strikes out 11! If we can get the stauche back, we are in bizniz.
