IF not for 30 plus DL moves Giants would be long gone

The San Francisco Giants are 3.5 games back in their division and 6 games back in the wild card race. This wouldn't seem like a big deal but the Giants could field an entire team with all of the DL players. Carlos Beltran, Buster Posey, Freddie Sanchez, Sergio Romo, Burrell, Torres, and at one time the Panda, Mark Derosa and soon Sherhotlz, Keppinger and the pitcher Sanchez. There are a few more but just to many to mention.

The Giants with all of this are still in contention, with one of the worst offenses in baseball but one of the best pitching staffs as well. The advantage the Giants have is they have on paper the easiest schedules in all of baseball to close out the season. 7 games against Houston will tell a lot about this team. 7-0 or 6-1 is a must. While they play Houston, the Diamondbacks will be playing the Philadelphia Phillies and another top notch team. The lead over the Giants could be all gone at the end of these series.

Have a great day

Good pitching seems to always beat great hitting

The San Francisco Giants rolled into Philadelphia a few days ago and the experts all said it would be a tough road for the World Champions. In game one the Phillies rolled the Giants and again the experts brought up the fact that the light hitting Giants were all smoke and mirrors as World Champions. Two days later, the Giants had once again silenced the huge bats of the Philadelphia Phillies. It amazes me how many times the better hitting teams will get shut down in big series by good pitching.

Beltran went 0-4 yesterday but I did learn that he is humble and just wants to win. More important then Beltran hitting himself, is the fact that Pablo Sandoval and Aubrey Huff both had big hits and both got the best pitches they have seen all year. Viva la Beltran.

U.S.A, U.S.A, U.S.A looks to win the World Cup on Sunday!!!

The 3 days with no regular baseball and I finally get hot. Winning the U.S.A game at +300, and the ALL-Star game was also a success with the National league and the under.

Tonight I do not have much but 3 small favorites may make for a decent night.

One play today.

San Francisco +130 The Giants are are a roll right now with amazingly better bats right now and one the hottest pitchers in baseball on the mound. So little respect and every day a nice PLUS. It is great to be on these guys at the right time. Voggelsong gave up 2 runs in his last start. That broke a 6 game streak of 1 or 0 runs. Do not know what the Giants are going to do with Zito. Arizona is young and this series was a big deal for them. To show them if they were for real or if they were still a step or two away. If Arizona wins tonight even 1 out 3 would be a nice boost for this young team.

Play San Francisco +130

Have a great day!
