sfgiantsflgators Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 I just started checking this out, and I gotta say great work man. i'll keep following. Bonds on the Cubs...ewwww Thanks - glad you like it Gotta admit, it's definitely weird seeing him in Cubbie blue. But that lineup could compete in the AL - Bonds, Soriano, Lee, Ramirez...and Murton is having a career year. But their pitching has been flukey thus far. Any help there and they could be immediate favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bochy was ejected after he argued that Derrek Lee was out at home while attempting to score on a single by Barry Bonds. Cuzzi ruled him safe. Barry Zito surrendered five runs on eight hits in seven innings tonight, giving up two home runs on his way to his eighth loss of the season. Fred Lewis tried to start a Giants rally in the seventh, bringing San Francisco within two with a three-run home run.

Lee went seven-for-12 (.583) with two doubles, four home runs and nine RBI over the last three games of the series. Not to be outdone by Lee, Fred Lewis had a monster series as well, going eight-for-18 (.444) with two doubles, three home runs and 11 RBI over the four-game set.

sfgiantsflgators Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 What trades do you think your Organization will make at the deadline? As it stands right now, probably none. There's a definite need for offense, but we're not going to trade away prospects for a rental. If we make the playoffs, great. But we're done trying to "win now." Even with the team in position to make a run at the wild card, we're not going to sacrifice the future and the plans we have laid out to build towards that future. There might be some moves made in the offseason, when it's easier to pick up impact players. But I wouldn't expect the Giants to make a big splash in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for checking in! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither team scored in the tenth, and Vinnie Chulk pitched a perfect top of the 11th for San Francisco. After Rajai Davis struck out to lead off the bottom of the frame, Brandon Wood doubled off Zach John- son. The next batter, Dan Ortmeier, drove him in with a game-winning single. Chulk improved to 2-0 on the season. Randy Winn was ejected in the ninth after arguing a called third strike. Ortmeier and Vizquel combined to finish two-for-10, but drove in five of the Giants eight runs tonight.

The Giants were only down one until Scott Munter surrendered a two-run home run to Kevin Mench in the eighth inning, just his second of the season. Chris Capuano allowed four runs, three earned, on seven hits in eight and one-thirds innings to pick up the win. He was charged with a run in the ninth when Dave Bush surrendered a pinch-hit double to Brandon Wood. Bush held the Giants at one though on his way to his 11th save.

sfgiantsflgators Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Blanton Headed to DL OAKLAND, Calif. - The Oakland Athletics announced today that pitcher Joe Blanton has been placed on the 15-day DL with a groin pull. Blanton has been listed in many rumors circulating around the upcoming trade deadline, but his trip to the disabled list could end many team's interest in the young hurler. Teams can work out trades until 4:00 p.m. ET on July 31. Throughout the month of August, a player can still be traded, but must clear waivers before a trade can be approved.

sfgiantsflgators Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 July 22, 2007 Giants, Dodgers Come Together in Rare Trade SAN FRANCISCO - The San Francisco Giants announced earlier today a trade that would send veteran left-hander Steve Kline to the rival Los Angeles Dodgers for 23-year old catcher Lucas May. Kline, 35, has appeared in 31 games for the Giants this season, all out of the bullpen. He has struggled in that span, surrendering 10 earned runs on 18 hits in just 14 innings while striking out seven and walking five. Batters are hitting .321 off Kline this season. The Giants have placed May in Triple-A Fresno. They hope he will develop into the successor to Bengie Molina, whose contract is up after the 2009 season. Giants Notes: Left-hander Jack Taschner has been called up from Fresno and will be available for to- morrow's game. Pitcher Adam Carr was promoted from Connecticut to Fresno. Catcher Barry Gunther has been released and pitcher Patrick Overholt has been signed. Overholt will report to Connecticut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
