Oh how the Giants needed a win to escape the Oakland A's with some respectability. Sandoval and Belt got the key hits and Zito somehow got out one jam after another. It wasn't long ago Giants pitchers were always getting quality starts and now they are few and far between. The good news is that with all their problems the Giants are still only 1 1/2 games behind the DBacks in the west. The plan is to keep close and then take your chances.
K & K during their telecast today mentioned that the Giants led the league in walks and this is most likely one of the reasons the Giants defense has been so poor. The players are falling asleep in the field. I might add that the TV viewers at home are also dozing. There have been some horrible long drawn out games lately.
The Giants and A's both wore their batting practice caps during the series Major League baseball approved this alternative for inter league games. The question is why. Don't tell me it is sell more caps!
The Stanley Cup. The Sharks do a great job qualifying for the Stanley Cup almost every year only to disappoint and be eliminated. It has to be embarrassing for the San Jose team that they are the only California NHL team to have not won the prize cup.
