The Giants took two out of three from the D'Backs while preparing for the post season play. The win on Thursday was unusual because the Giants hit three home runs which seldom happens on this club. This blog was wrong to believe that the Giants lack of power would eventually be their downfall.
We wondered why Belt was not playing left field during these last games since the NL West title has been assured. He started in left on Thursday and misplayed two balls that Blanco probably would have caught which will most likely eliminated him from playing that position in the playoffs. The Giants will miss his bat when Sanchez catches and Posey plays first. . . Lincecum next start probably against San Diego this weekend will determine if he will be on the playoff roster. . . Only Bud Selig could pull this one off and it is the reason why he makes about $20 million being commissioner. The teams with the best records will be at a big disadvantage because they have to play their first two games on the road. Never before has this happened. This is the result of adding a second wild card team just before the start of the season. There is no question that this addition has increased interest and revenue for the teams involved. But at what price? The decision was made because money comes first while the integrity of the game what is left of it suffers.
