Sweep, Records and Concerns

Giants 1912 uniform emblem

Sweep - The Giants swept a four game series from  the Chicago Cubs which was highlighted by each team wearing their 1912 uniforms on Saturday  to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the New York Giants World Championship and the 200 year anniversary of The War of 1812, sometimes referred to as  "A second war of independence"


Records - During the Cub series the Giants tied a major league record by starting four different first basemen (Pill, Huff, Posey and Belt) in a four game series. They tied another major league record by winning six out of seven games on the home stand without hitting a home run.  Pagan continues to break his own Giants record of hitting safely in 28 straight home games.

Concerns - The Giants are currently not happy with fun loving Pablo Sandoval for two reasons.  The first is the fact that he got involved into sex related incident last Thursday in Santa Cruz which could become a major distraction.  Bochy is also concerned and extremely annoyed with the fact that Pablo may not be able to handle third base when he returns because he has put on weight while on the DL.
