.333

SF 7  AZ 2
The Giants finally wore out a Diamondbacks pitcher and even continued to score against their 'pen and picked up a win after four straight losses. The lineup resurrected the old "death by a thousand paper cuts" offense: infield single, walk, infield single, sac fly; single, single, single, walk, sac fly, fielder's choice. That's four runs! Panda added a homer, then we got single, walk, walk, sac fly, fielder's choice. Hey, whatever works. Giants win one of the three against Arizona after winning one of three against Los Angeles. At this rate they will win four of the final eleven (.364) and finish 62-100. Chris Stratton had a good outing today (6 IP, 2 R) and four relievers combined for one hit and no runs over the final four frames. Off-days tomorrow and Thursday; Rockies in town Tuesday and Wednesday.

Go Giants!

Given a choice, I opted for hiking with a friend at Napa Valley State Park versus Giants baseball, and even though they won, I preferred the sunshine,hiking, variety of Eco-types and absolutely wonderful weather conditions in the Napa Valley. It's a matter of choice. Roll the dice and hope to watch/hear a G-Men win, or spend the day outside hiking and enjoying nature. I'm a forester. You guess. The season is almost over. Let us be thankful for the successes of the past and look forward to future days. Go Giants!
