Going swimming in the reservoir yesterday afternoon was more fun than watching the Giants lose to the Diamondbacks when we got home. There was a rally in the bottom of the ninth, but it wasn't enough for a 6-7 loss. The Giants' runs probably hiked up Brandon Webb's ERA, so that's good for Tim Lincecum in the Cy Young race. Tim-may is pitching against Randy Johnson tonight in what should be a great game.
If Timmy can have two more strong starts, the Cy Young should be his.
On another note, the D-backs gained a game on the Dodgers last night (The D-backs are behind 3 1/2 games in the NL West) and I thought they looked built for the playoffs. Between Young in center field, Adam Dunn hitting, SS Drew (who went 4 for 5 last night) and Danny Haren and the Big Unit starting pitching -- this is what the Giants should be looking for next year. Something well rounded, balancing pitching with some sluggers. And we still need to steal bases.
I'm sold on Eugenio Velez and Pablo Sandoval for the Giants next season. And maybe Sandoval can play third base permanently, as he has been.
This garage that I'm typing from is nice and cool today. I wonder what treats Victor the painter has for me today! And will he ever finish painting our house?
