Jovin Marcetas, who is he?
I think Berkman is out, that should be a help.

That's the combination of Joe Martinez and Kevin Pucetas, the two guys rumoured to be taking Sadowski's place.
Not only do we miss Berkman, but Wandy and Oswalt as well.

I picked 2 or 4 against the Phils and was pleasantly surprised. But the Giants on the road.... I don't know... 1 of 3 is not an unsuccessful road trip at this point (based on who's pitching for us). Just don't get swept. The Rockies play the Phillies in a three game, so lets hope they are pissed after getting the asses whooped by the Giants

and sweep Col. :broom: is there a sweep emoticon?

Garko with his first RBI as a Giant. Sanchez with a run. I still don't love the trade, but it's nice to have a lineup you can have a little faith in.
Cain went to work after that Blum home run. I love how things like that roll right off him.

Hey Stanford, I see we registered around the same time... (both pre-BD trade). Congrats on becoming a Mod. Keep up the good work....
p.s. who is that smiling in your sig... probably somebody obvious and I'm admitting I'm a dumbass.

Hey, thanks! I'm not a Warriors fan though, hah.
It's Billy Mays.
Don't get Bochy having Cain bunt. What a waste of a Renteria hit.

He died recently, around the same time as Michael Jackson. I'm a big fan of the genre (using genre very loosely) and the sig is the remember the greatness of Billy Mays.

Get Molina out of the cleanup spot. No, get him out of the starting lineup. No, get him out of a Giants uniform. Effing rally killer.

Big loss. We had to win this one when we have Sanchez and who knows which pitcher pitching the next 2 games...

Back to back jacks. I'm starting to like this trade.

Looks like Martinez is going for us tommorow. Guess we'll need another huge offensive game.

Hopefully the Phillies will slow down the Rockies...they just can't lose.

Yeah Sanchez doesn't look like much of an upgrade over Uribe. Lol That trade is going to be great for us.

Nice game. Martinez pitched decently, and gets the win thanks to Whiteside's grand salami. I'm lovin' the trades right now. I will continue to like the trades unless Barnes or Alderson do amazing 2-3 years down the road. But for now, I'm happy. Good job Gigantes.

Thought we were going to/would have liked to get the sweep, but 2/3 on the road is alright with me.
Btw, I've already forgotten about Tim Alderson.
