Last year the Giants made a habit of losing the last game of a series to prevent them from earning a sweep. It is different this year. The Giants are now winning the last game of the series to avoid being swept. Belt was a hero today with a pinch hit double to drive in a couple of runs. After the game the discussion was about Gaudin and if he will go back to relief or start in the rotation. The fact is Gaudin is now the number one pitcher on the staff and he will make his next scheduled start.
The feeling about the Giants chances are not very good. Everybody knows it. The fun will really start if they drop out of contention and become sellers rather then buyers at the trade deadline. The speculation will be heavy but sure to be at the top of the list are Zito, Lincecum, Pill, and Sandoval. The Giants need to acquire some young talented pitchers for the future. This might be their opportunity.
