A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

Maybe I’ve simply gone insane, but I really like our chances right now.  Yes, lots of injuries, everyone knows that. But look who is getting injured. Our hitting has sucked all year. The line ups always look bad. I’m not worried about our ability to score runs because we have scored enough all year, no matter who we trot out there, to win most of our games.

This team wins or loses not because of who’s swinging the bat but because of who’s throwing the ball. And when you look at that side of the game, our strength is largely still in tact. Currently, we’ve lost Zito, Sanchez and Romo. Losing Zito is actually a plus. And Dirrrrty, while pitching decent last night, has hardly been critical to the success of the team this year. Romo is a hit, but we have the best bullpen in either league, I feel confident that his single inning can be replaced.

Lincecum, Cain, Bumgarner, Vogelsong, Panda. These 5 guys have been most responsible for the team’s success this year. Last time I checked, those guys are rock solid (stretching it a little with Panda but he looked good to go last night)….

I admit we are thin and there’s a lot of negativity and bad luck following the Giants right now. But the strength and the core of this team is in tact. As long as those 5 guys stay healthy and keep doing what they’ve done this year I will keep the faith and believe. My knowing dude nod is in full vertical motion right now……..

Did the players look like they were giving up last night? You shouldn’t either……
