Let's be honest neither the DBacks nor the Giants looked like world beaters this past weekend in a three game series won by the Giants 2 games to 1. The Dodgers won three more and if they keep it up the NL West will be over before any trade is made making the Giants elimination number more like 10 then 24. . .. If Pablo is still with the Giants next year the team plans on changing his number from 48 to 02 to better reflect his count at the plate. . . The Giant announcers K & K made a very interesting comment in the game Sunday. They cannot believe how many hitters take the 2-0 pitch instead like in the past taking a good cut at what should be a pretty good pitch to hit. This is just another reason the games are so long trying to get the pitch count up on the opposing pitcher. . . Jeremy Affeldt got hurt again and this time he will be out probably to the end of the season. That's a real blow since the Giants relief staff has been very weak. At least Jeremy will have more time to promote his book. . . Thanks to ESPN we again get to see the Red Sox and Yankees on national TV. The miracle is the fact that it is not raining in Boston.
