sfgiantsflgators Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 lol Apparently he's the next Dave Winfield - I'm fairly certain the Blue Jays just took the guy in the draft, and he's already starting at the MLB level. Hell, he had a game-winning hit against us in the Toronto series. Maybe I should have traded for him...oh well :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgiantsflgators Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 July 1, 2008 Cain Gets Support in Complete Game Victory Offense comes through for hard-luck ace The San Francisco Giants offense was able to come through for its ace, Matt Cain, tonight in a 4-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds. Cain allowed just two runs on eight hits while striking out eight in a complete game effort, improving to 6-8 with the win. Three of Cain's losses this season have come in 1-0 games. Brandon Phillips drove in both Reds runs with two solo home runs, finishing the game two-for-four. A three-run third inning for San Francisco was the difference, with two of the runs scoring on a triple by Omar Vizquel. Vizquel finished two-for-four. Fred Lewis stole two bases in the game, numbers 39 and 40 on the season. Scoring T1: Phillips solo HR B3: Vizquel triple scores Cain, Lewis; Ortmeier grounds out to second, Vizquel scores B7: Wood grounds out to second, Lewis scores T8: Phillips solo HR W – Cain (6- L – Bailey (6-3) Player of the Game: Matt Cain 9 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 8 K, 0 BB July 1, 2008 Boxscore July 2, 2008 Lincecum Two-Hits Cincinnati in 3-1 Win Phenom strikes out career-high 13 in victory For the second straight night, a hard-luck Giants pitcher got a much needed win with a complete game effort over the Cincinnati Reds. Tim Lincecum entered the contest 3-7 despite an ERA just slightly over three. After striking out a career-high 13 batters while allowing one run on just two hits, the young right-hander was able to make his fourth mark in the win column. The only Cincinnati run crossed the plate in the seventh inning on an RBI groundout from Adam Dunn, scoring Ken Griffey, Jr., who led off the inning with a triple. Lincecum also went one-for-two from the plate, doubling and scoring in the fifth inning and plating Randy Winn with a sacrifice squeeze in the seventh. Every Giants player collected a hit except Kevin Frandsen, who went 0-for-two with a walk. Scoring B5: Davis solo HR; Vizquel single scores Lewis T7: Dunn grounds out to second, Griffey scores B7: Lincecum sacrifice bunt scores Winn W – Lincecum (4-7) L – Milton (6-5) Player of the Game: Tim Lincecum 9 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 13 K, 1 BB July 2, 2008 Boxscore July 3, 2008 Third Straight Complete Game Gives Giants Sweep Ortmeier drives in four for San Francisco Not to be outdone by the youngsters of the staff, the Giants 30-year old veteran, Barry Zito, threw the third straight complete game for San Francisco as they swept the Cincinnati Reds with a 7-2 win at AT&T Park. Zito surrendered two runs on just five hits in the contest, striking out 10 as he improved to 4-6 on the season. Dan Ortmeier paced the offense, going two-for-five with a home run and four RBI. Brandon Wood add- ed two more RBI with a three-for-five game, blasting his ninth home run of the season in the fifth inning. Zito didn't allow a run until the seventh inning, an RBI groundout from David Ross. Josh Hamilton drove in the other Cincinnati run with a solo shot in the ninth.

sfgiantsflgators Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 July 4, 2008 Offense a Dud on Independence Day Cardinals post two four-run innings The St. Louis Cardinals put on an explosive show this July 4, blasting four home runs in an 8-0 win over the San Francisco Giants. Kevin Correia couldn't match the success of his predecessors, ending the Giants run of three-straight complete game efforts as he allowed seven runs on nine hits in just four and two-thirds innings. St. Louis blasted three home runs in the fourth inning, including back-to-back shots from Brendan Ryan and David Eckstein, to take a 4-0 lead. They then loaded the bases against Correia in the fifth before the Giants called on Jesse Foppert for relief. The first batter, Laynce Nix, blasted a 2-2 pitch to center to blow the game open 8-0. Chris Carpenter was stellar, allowing just five hits over seven and two-thirds shutout innings on his way to win number 10. Scoring T4: Bard solo HR; Ryan two-run HR; Eckstein solo HR T5: Nix GS W – Carpenter (10-4) L – Correia (7-7) Player of the Game: Kevin Frandsen 2-4 July 4, 2008 Boxscore July 5, 2008 Misch Reaches 10 with 6-0 Victory Frandsen drives in three for Giants A day after Chris Carpenter joined the 10-win club, Pat Misch joined him with a fantastic seven and two-thirds shutout innings effort. The Giants offense supported Misch with a six-run outing, three coming from the bat of Kevin Frandsen, who went two-for-four in the contest while blasting his 22nd home run of the season. It was Frandsen's first home run since June 16 against Milwaukee, a span of 15 games. Entering today's contest, Frand- sen had gone eight-for-54 (.148) in that span. He got three of those eight hits in five at bats last night. San Francisco plays their last game of the first half tomorrow afternoon. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 PT. Scoring B1: Wood single scores Lewis; Molina triple scores Wood; Frandsen single scores Molina B6: Frandsen two-run HR B7: Vizquel solo HR W – Misch (10-4) L – Mulder (8-6) Player of the Game: Pat Misch 7.2 IP, 7 H, 0 R, 4 K, 2 BB July 5, 2008 Boxscore July 6, 2008 Cain Leaves Game Early, Giants Win 5-3 San Francisco finishes first half with series win It was a bitter-sweet day at AT&T Park this afternoon as the San Francisco Giants finished the first half with a series victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in a 5-3 win. They have won five of their last six games. However, bad news came with one out in the fourth inning when Matt Cain left the game with a blister on his index finger. Bruce Bochy commented after the game: "It didn't look serious, but only time will tell with something like that. Obviously it's a good break that the All-Star break is here, so that gives us time to monitor it and work the rotation so we can give him a start off. As of right now, if there's no trouble in a week, we'll plan on bringing him back after that skipped start. But obviously, with a guy that young with that promising a future, it doesn't hurt to be a little extra careful." Cain had punched out six in three and one-thirds innings prior to leaving. The Giants offense took a 5-1 lead after four innings, using a collection of singles to accomplish the task. Brad Hennessey threw three and one-thirds innings, surrendering two runs on six hits before handing it to four different relievers. The bullpen held on, surrendering one more run before Brian Wil- son struck out the side in the ninth to pick up his 21st save. Scoring B2: Molina single scores Frandsen; Schierholtz single scores Winn; Lewis grounds out to short, Molina scores T4: Eckstein single scores Pujols B4: Schierholtz single scores Molina; Lewis single scores Schierholtz T5: Rolen solo HR T8: Eckstein double scores Nix W – Hennessey (6-4) L – Wainwright (10-4) S - Wilson (21) Player of the Game: Nate Schierholtz 3-3, 2 RBI, BB July 6, 2008 Boxscore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgiantsflgators Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Is Tiny Tim leading the NL in k's? every time I look he has at least 10 He is having a great season, no doubt (if you don't look at the screwed up W-L record). But since he missed a few starts earlier in the year with various injuries, his strikeout total isn't as high as it would be. Zito is actually in the top five though - and Cain is around the top 10 mark I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgiantsflgators Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 July 7, 2008 Wilson Lone Giants Representative in New York SAN FRANCISCO - The San Francisco Giants are happy to announce that pitcher Brian Wilson has been chosen as a National League All-Star for the 2008 season. Wilson, 26, struggled earlier in the season, his first as the official closer of the Giants; but the right- hander has improved drastically and now sits at the top of the league in saves. The hard-throwing Wilson was never worried: "There were a couple of bad spells," said Wilson in today's press conference. "But, as a closer, I can't worry about them. As soon as the last pitch is thrown, it's time to focus on tomorrow. If you think about yesterday, you've already lost." The fact that Wilson was chosen isn't shocking, but the fact that he's the only Giant is. Rookie Pat Misch has been phenomonal for San Francisco, posting a 10-4 record with an ERA of 3.46. Kevin Frandsen has struggled with his average, hitting just .243; but has blasted 22 home runs while driving in 60. The All-Star game is tomorrow at Yankee Stadium, with first pitch scheduled for 7:35 ET. Pre-game ceremonies will take place throughout the day.
