Rowand is loving hitting lead off. We need to get a bat to contend this year because our pitching staff will not carry us.

Awesome tribute to the 1989 Giants team, actually had me a little choked up. Can't wait for the A's tribute when we get back to Oakland in a week.

Only two more tables until you achieve poker orgy! Chips will be flying every which way, nonstop suck outs galore, and you won't know where you blew your stack but damn it'll be a great night.

Yeah that was awesome. :club: Both 1989 teams were special and I'm glad they are paying respect to both.

Nice to see the Giants playing decent ball this far into the season for a change. I know it's really not that deep into the season but I think I heard somewhere that we haven't been over .500 this far into the season in 5 years???? Wow. Anyway, we do need to get a big bat because the pitching staff can't carry us all year, can they? I was lucky enough to get great tickets to watch the Giants hammer the DBacks this past Tuesday in AZ. Cain didn't have his best stuff by far, but didn't need it against Buckner and the D-Backs. Sandoval hit a bomb that game as well. I would really like to watch Lincecum pitch live one of these days, especially if he's throwing like he did vs. the A's.

The Giants are good but their pitching wont carry them into the playoffs. Yesterdays game was awesome. :club: I saw my first inside the park home run and it was the quickest baseball game I've ever been too. (450ish Giants games I've attended in my life.)

We have a lot more that Sandoval and Ishikawa....Rowand and Molina are above average at their respective positions. Out outfield platoon should be pretty good with Rowand, Winn, Lewis and Schierholtz (who is a really good hitter for average - .320 last year). With our pitching, this team can definitely compete with the dodgers for the top spot in the division. Also, don't be surprised if we trade for a bat at the trade deadline.....The Giants have some money saved and most teams will be selling at the deadline for financial reasons.

First quote was BEFORE the season started and was about my predictions for the season...which have been correct so far.Second quote was a comment after a losing streak when i thought my prediction might not hold up.Thankfully, my prediction has been right so far - I'm really enjoying watching this team play. I have tickets for the game this friday and I can't wait to go.

I just love the flip-flopiness of your posts, classic fair weather fan speak.

FYPYou say that because i sometimes express doubt about the probability of success of my team then that means I am a fair weather fan? Poor logic, IMO.

actually i say it because you express A LOT of doubt and flip flop A LOT. Then you come in here and talk about how awesome your so called pre-season "prediction" was. Perfect logic IMO.

First, I think you are missing my point. You can express doubt about how well your team will do while still following them regularly. Expressing doubt does not necessitate being a fair weather fan. (Correlation vs. Causality argument). Second, If you read through again, I believe you will see the majority of my posts have been optimistic.Before the season, you guys flamed me because I was overly optimistic and now you are flaming me because I pointed out that my preseason prediction has been right so far, LOL can't win I guess.

Yeah, I agree with Sportsmack 100% here. Tom, you change your view on the Giants after every two or three games.

You guys can say what you like, but i dont think its fair to call someone a fair weather fan for expressing doubt. Regardless, I don't think i, or anyone, should have to prove what kind of fan they are. Anyways, im about to leave for the game today....so glad Sadowski is pitching and not that turd Sanchez.
