Giants Bounce Back

The Giants behind solid pitching and fundamental play took two of three well  played games from the visiting Washington Nationals.  The series was marred by the injury to Vogelsong.  We had just written last week that the Giants five starters were always ready to pitch when scheduled.  This streak will end in the next few days.  The Giants have tomorrow off but it plans to be a special day for Fresno pitcher Michael Kirkham.  He is moving through the organization quickly and has looked very good in his last five starts.  If he pitches well Thursday he will probably start for the Giants next Tuesday against Oakland.  Can the Giants find gold in Fresno?

Injury Reports:  The first report said that Vogelsong would be out four to six weeks which is ridiculous.  He will be fortunate to pitch in September when the rosters expand.  Yesterday the 49ers lost Crabtree with an torn Achilles which is the worst possible injury a wide reviver can receive.  He will be lucky to play in 2014.
