Last night the Giants played the New York Mets. They won 10-1! Just destroyed them! Picking up the win was a new pitcher pulled up from triple a, Joe Martienez. He only aloud one run as you can see. But only got one strikeout. Not the best strikout pitcher.
But a major strikeout pitcher is the one and only Tim Lincecum. He’s pitching tonight against the reds. Tim Lincecum is having an amazing year! With 205 strikeouts, and a  2.26 ERA. Both of which he is leading MAJORS in. His career high with strikeouts in a single game is 15. HIis ERA last year, was 2.65.

And you have to remember, Tim Lincecum is only 23 years old. If he continues at this rate, he can beat the record of most strikeouts in a career. The records defender is Nolan Ryan. A former texas Ranger. A good friend of mine once told me that he would watch Nolan Ryan do warm ups before a game. Cause he lived in texas once before. And he saw him start out throwing real close with the catcher, then before he knew it they were throwing from one foul pole to the other. Nolan Ryan threw so hard! He said he didn’t aim for the catchers mitt, he aimed 30 feet behind the catchers mitt.

Back with the Giants. The Giants record is 64-54
They are by far doing better than last year. Last year they’re winning percentage wasn’t even 500. This year they are already doing better. Mainly cause of they’re pitching staff. They are said to have the best pitching staff in all of baseball. Which I highly agree with. They have they’re ace, Tim Lincecum, Matt cain, The injured Randy Johnson, the one who threw the no hitter on july tenth, Jonathen Sanchez, and Barry Zito.
As far as the’re bullpen goes, they’re only veteran pitchers are, Bob Howry, and Jeremy Affeldt.
Who are both very good.

The only problem with the giants team is they’re offense. It isn’t a huge problem, its just there offense can use improvement. They have Sandavol, Bengie Molina, and a new addition to the giants lineup, the 2nd base power hitting, Freddy Sanchez. Freddy Sanchez was traded to the giants from the Pirates.
Giants are slowly catching up with the Dodgers. The dodgers have lost 6, of they’re last 8! Which is a good thing for a Giants fan like myself.
