Two days in a row the San Francisco Giants and the Colorado Rockies have pulled off wins. For the last three days, they’ve matched wins and losses. In the last 10 games for each team, the Rockies have gone 4-6 and the Giants have gone 7-3.
Yes, things have been interesting.
This is a playoff chase people. [...]
The Phillies beat the Giants 2-1 last night (as the Rockies lost as well) and everyone seems to clamor that Pedro Martinez out-dueled Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum.
Hellooooo!!! Lincecum allowed two runs in the game, struck out 11 batters and gave up four hits. Martinez allowed one run (a homer), struck out nine and gave [...]
My San Francisco Giants have had the pleasure of going most of the season without me penning at least 10 end-of-the-world columns in which I disparage this player or that, take Brian Sabean’s name in vain, and curse Bruce Bochy for his … being him.

Grant at McCoveyChronicles.com, a sports blog nation blog on the San Francisco Giants, lists his 10 reasons why the he’s not worried about Tim Lincecum after his faulty two starts to begin the season. There’s some gems in the list. Particularly:
7. Young pitchers are a static, predictable group without a propensity for wildly fluctuating performances. [...]
Hold your horses Giants fans. The jury is still out on whether picking up the Big Unit is worth the risk.

Dear Santa: Get me a winner!!
All I want for Christmas is a winner.
Kings, Warriors, 49ers, Raiders, Giants and A’s, take notes.
You too, Sharks. You’re not out of the woods yet.
When you step out, do so with the intention of winning. Nothing else. And when you plan for the future of your franchise, plan with the intent of winning. Nothing else.

Lincecum wins Cy Young
Congratulations to the best young pitcher of baseball — Tim Lincecum — for winning this year’s Cy Young award. I didn’t think it was possible, but he sure as hell proved me wrong … and I’m glad for it.
From SFGate.com:
In balloting announced by the Baseball Writers Association of America, Lincecum won in a landslide. He [...]
