Giants up 3-1. Another solid outing by a SP. Giants SP has not given up an earned run all year. Also HR by Bowker. So far so good for Giants fans.
I have picked up Bowker in all of my leagues before today...he is set for a breakout year....the one out he had was a LASER

Brewers just tied it up at 4. Sac fly by Kottaras driving in Edmonds.

Cook getting yanked.

I've read that in an effort to keep Helton fresh all year long they are only going to play him 130-140 games this year. I wouldnt be surprised if he doesn't play more than 2 or 3 games in a row without a day off, especially this early in the year.

It's probably that new baseball theory that dictates old men can't play in a day game that follows a night game.

Giants looking good this year so far.

Foolish on Andy Tracy's part. Hawpe and Seth Smith aren't in either.

Tracy screwed up not pulling a double switch earlier. Cook got yanked an inning too late.

I wish the Braves would do this with Chipper Jones. The Pirates did it with Willie Stargell for the 78 and 79 season which extended his career another 5 years. Many thought his career was over after the 77 season.

What is wrong with the Astros? Effing horrible! Hunter pence is hitting a whopping .000 for the year Hell yeah!

1. Poor Drafting
2. Poor Contracts
3. Lack of spending on free agents
4. Everyone's old (besides Manzella, Johnson, Towles, Pence and Bourn, everyone is over the age of 30.....and only 2 of those guys are legit producers).
5. Don't look too much into 2 games (well 3 now) on Pence. It is that fanciful Age 27 Year, so I am sure we will see an uptick in his numbers (once he bats with men on base and has a little more protection than just Carlos Lee).

G-men are hot right now!


I was not a fan of Tracy pulling various starters, from today's game. Needless to say: We'll be going home to the Padres. Jorge'll be starting, and the rest-day should get us right on track!

How can you say they don't suck when they are predicted to finish in 5th or 6th in the Central?

Believe me, I am a die hard Astros fan, but I know this is definitely not the astros season.
