Two in a row!! Streaking Giants clobber Rockies 3-1
Edited on Fri Jul-24-09 10:48 PM by Upton
Led by 7 innings of 1 ER 3 hit ball thrown by the now 12 game winner Matt Cain, the Giants moved back into a tie for the Wild Card lead. Cain lowered his ERA to 2.27 and Brian Wilson recorded his 25th save.

1. I certainly cherish the Giants games when they allow only one run in that
ridiculous high altitude launching pad in Denver.

It's only one game, but it's a fantastic way to start the series.

And as I promised inthebrain, who enjoys running his mouth, the Chokers are well on their way toward a weekend sweep and ten games under .500 ... falling in game #1 tonight against the Astros.

David Wright did not hit a home run because the game was at tough Citi Field in New York.

Oh wait. It wasn't.

2. Giants are now up to 3-5
on this road trip, with an outside chance of coming home at .500. Things don't look near as bad as they did 2 days ago. This team has character..and most importantly, pitching.

3. Cain pitched well. No hitter up to the 5th inning.
Hopefully the Rockies can finish out this series with wins.

11. Hey Jon .. I apologize for not mentioning this earlier, but I would be remiss
if I didn't tell you that nobody cares if the Rockies can finish out this series with wins.

4. Upton, we'll leave it to you to characterize a team with two wins in a row as "streaking"
At long last, have you no shame? Have you no decency? Have you no respect for the English language?

5. It's a 2 game win streak
is it not? Therefore, the Giants can properly be characterized as streaking.

13. Pipe down Jack. Of all people, there will be no gloating on your part in the
official "Two in a row!! Streaking Giants clobber Rockies 3-1" thread.

Thanks for your future compliance.

9. And as you notice, I painted an arrow pointing where on Manny's body
Dodger fans have implanted their lips tighter than a symphonic drum.
