Be still, my beating heart! The Giants have won 5-games in a row. Before you raise the “Playoffs or bust!” banner, playing the Padres might have had something to do with our mini-streak. The Pads lineup isn’t bad, they’ve got some very nice hitters in Giles, Gonzalez, Gerut, Kouzmanoff, and Headley but their pitching staff, [...]

Who says you need to hit to win games? In [...]

For the first time in 2 months, the Giants won a series at home vs. the Nationals, and like always, it was the pitching that lead the way. Barry Zito made his first start of the second half and it was a success. I know I shouldn’t be saying that when y…
