Giants 4 Bagger: 9/13

Media: In losing to the Diamondbacks yesterday night, the Giants were officially eliminated from contention.

Giants fans: And the bad news is?

  • A la Moises Alou and Vladimir Guerrero, Nate Schierholtz doesn’t wear batting gloves. He also has an endorsement deal with Franklin batting gloves. [SFGate]
  • Scientists reveal that urea, a component of urine, does not toughen skin. Sorry Moises. [McCovey Chronicles]
  • Dan Ortmeier is giving Ryan Klesko a run for his money over at first base. The Giants are committed to giving him some burn, having JT Snow as his mentor and giving him a spot in the Arizona Fall League. Some telling stats: Ryno- 6 HR, 108 games; Ort- 5 HR, 49 games. [SF Giants]
  • Rajai Davis’ time from home plate to first base: 3.5 seconds. [SJ Mercury]
  • The Diamondbacks’ youth project is a good model for the Giants’ 2008-10 plan. [Giants Talk]
  • If Todd Linden hits a game-winning single, does anyone see it? [McCovey Chronicles]
  • The Giants have 16 games left. Can they go 10-6 in the next two weeks to beat last year’s record of 75-87? [SF Giants]
