Hey everybody, Jax here.I had so much fun at the beach on Sunday. I was digging holes, chasing tennis balls, splashing around in the water ... it was great.
One team that didn't have a day at the beach on Sunday was the Giants, who are 3-7 in the last 10 games. Colorado was not kind to the Giants pitching staff, who spent the weekend getting lit up at Coors Field.
On tap tonight at AT&T Park are the Pirates. The Giants have Tim Lincecum on the mound.
One thing to watch out for is Pirates second baseman Freddy Sanchez, a former batting champ (2006) who Giants GM Brian Sabean is said to covet. (Sanchez photo by HomerDerby.com)That trade scenario could happen, my dog sense tells me, because it would be relatively cheap and would upgrade the hitting at the 2B position. The Giants 2B Juan Uribe is batting .284, Freddy Sanchez is hitting .296. He is a career .300 hitter and Bucks ownership is motivated to sell. They are liquidating this year (standard) and just traded Adam LaRoche to Red Saaawx. Sanchez could come in a package deal with Pirates SS Jack Wilson, according to Andy Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News.
Baggarly also reported that the Giants are not interested in the Blue Jays RHP Roy Halladay. The ace would cost the Giants too many prospects.
That's all for now. I want to go to the beach again!

Speaking of getting lit up, did you happen to see what happened to Seattle over the past few days? Absolutely destroyed by Cleveland. 6.5 out on the wildcard...ugh.
That's a bummer, man. Maybe Seattle can turn it around?
