We had so many chances that we choked off that I was getting pissed and cranky; sure that we had blown it against a tough, hot pitcher. But the boys never gave up, kept the pressure on, finally got a couple big hits at the end. Grind, grind, grind. Both Span and Panik had been dead cold for a while. But they ground out key AB's at the end. The Rays seem like the opposite type team, playing for the three run homer in between strikeouts. It is awesome that they hit FOUR homers and lost, that doesn't happen too often. I guess their lineup suits their ballpark, which is quite disgusting, isn't it? Ballpark, not lineup.

I was hoping for a hang-in-there keep it above .500 thing, avoid the big losing streaks, grind it out, you know. But then they go and win seven in a row! They are still "grinding it out" of course, rarely does this team get an "easy" win. But wins they are and that's what matters. They are now tied with the Nats for 2nd-best record in the league and 3rd-best overall.<br /><br />M.C.

I thought when we lost Pence and Cain that we were in for some rough times, not a win spurt. Sure we have two of the best starters but not much else. Just a TEAM of good players that combine into a unit that the best management TEAM puts into impressive consistency. We have a new hero each day during these win streaks (Congrats Joe). It is getting harder each day to deny that we are a TEAM made to win. Win it all. <br /><br />Go Giants! Number 8 this morning!

You hold your breath at the bottom two slots in the rotation (not to mention Smarji until yesterday), and then when you get wins out of them, you have the real possibility of a streak. Keep it going!Zonoreply@blogger.com
