It seemed like only yesterday that the Giants were on a four game winning streak. Oh right, it was yesterday. I guess I can't complain, seeing as
- they finished the homestand on a 4-3 record
- they came back from 2 games down to tie the series with the Braves
- they took 2 of 3 from the Marlins
- the offense (finally) ignited and got 2-out-hits
- Matt Cain did not lose
- Barry hit 754
- Sweeney moved into 2nd on the all time pinch hit list with 151
- Mays Field actually felt alive
- the 1987 NLC team ceremony was awesome
A few things could have gone better
- Matty Mo got 8 strikeouts, but got tagged with 6 earned runs
- it doesn't seem like he has trade value anymore
- Blownetiz induced a DP ball after he walked Bengie. He made it out of the inning unscathed. I wanted to throw a doughnut at him (Blownetiz, not Bengie).
- Despite winning 4 games in a row, the Giants are still 13 games under .500. How's that for some irony.
And, the burning question that remains
- Did this 4 game winning streak and the newfound offense turn some teams' heads this way? Dave Roberts raised his BA by 40+ points in a mere 2 weeks, (insert contending team here)! You know you want these veterans!
