I love this time of year. Why, you ask? Well, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m kinda a big fan of baseball, and my favorite team, the Giants.
The Giants and Rockies, are the two teams in the wild card fighting it out. Before the series this weekend, the rockies were up three games, in the wild card race.
That has all changed. I am proud to announce, that the Giants swept the Rockies, in this three game series. A huge series. And now, the record in the wild card is tied. Giants 75-59 Rockies 75-59
The next team in line, are the Braves. But you know what? They are about six games back. So, this wild card race is getting intense guys.
With only 31 games left to play, the Giants have to step it up. They have great pitching, great speed. Now the only thing they need, is offense. This team would be probably the best team in baseball, if they had offense.
But, they have a guy, who I think is going to be huge for them. You might know him. Not as a person but as a player. Pablo Sandavol. 21 dingers on the year so far. He’s been they’re whole offense.
Not only him, but Bengie Molina.
The other night, I was watching the game, with the Giants, and D-backs. The Giants were down 3 to 1 in the bottom of the eighth. Runners on first, and second. And who comes out to pinch hit? Bengie Molina. Who is slowly recovering from an injury. And he came through for the giants, BIG TIME! A three run home run out to left field. I was kinda scared when he hit it. Mainly because, the left fielder almost robbed him of the home run. But the only thing that matters, is that they won that game.
And then this huge series comes up with the rockies, and Pablo hits two home runs in the series. What got into them? I have no idea. But whatever did, I’m glad it got to em. They’re offense has been razor sharp this series. The three game series, they scored, 17 runs total. Thats pretty big for the giants. And against the rockies too. Thats just great!
Amd hats off to they’re ace, Tim Lincecum. He has been coming up big when it matters. He is leading BASEBALL, in strikeouts again! Second year in a row! The thing I want to accomplish before Tim retires, is to see him play, and maybe meet him. That would be the greatest.
LETS GO GIANTS!!!
