I think the Giants are buying in to the whole contending thing
Ken Rosenthal said earlier on MLB Network that the Giants and Reds tried very hard to acquire Mark DeRosa before the Cardinals grabbed him.
Cleveland has to be feeling good about that trade after Perez’s indian debut.

Randy Winn is in time out until his OBP gets back over .330.

I’m as wary as anyone, but if you’re leading the WC almost halfway into the season, you’re in contention.

Just noticed that Chris Carpenter’s WHIP is .70, and he’s only walked 9 in 65.2 IP. Dude’s pretty good.

Time for more fun facts!
4 years ago, Carlos Silva pitched 188.3 innings, and gave up 9 walks, two of which were intentional. That, my friends, is a unintentional BB/9 of 0.33.

Posey update
He doesn’t have a concussion and could return to the lineup tomorrow.
It never occurred to me that one man could play with the faith of 50 million.
Yeah, that's why I'm relieved
I wouldn’t want to improve the place for hurting our players. It would set a bad precedent. I mean, I wouldn’t want to have to build a museum in St Louis if they snapped Matt Downs’ wrist or something.

Did you hear the postgame wrap last night? They were joking that the only thing keeping the local St. Louis economy afloat were dozens of Cardinals team merchandise stores. GATEWAY TO THE WEST BURN
"He is Tim Lincecum...the Most Interesting Pitcher in the World."
I mentioned this yesterday, but I think it’s possible this series could be the start of a hot streak for Rent. He’s got a little extra incentive to do well against the Cards plus a move down in the lineup has been good for him so far.

and listening to the pregame on KNBR…
I wonder if Timmy’s going deeper into games cuz’ he doesn’t want the bull pen costing him a win?
I thought Kuip just called Carpenter a future hall of famer.

My problem
We have TV’s, but I live in Socal, so that doesn’t matter unfortunately. I’m stuck listening to it on my iphone.
Here is something to ponder
What’s the better predictor in future team performance – being 15th in the league in runs scored like the Giants, being 15th in the league in ERA like the Phillies, or being tied for 3rd in the league in run differential at +23?
The two teams tied at +23 are the Giants and Phillies

It’s too bad that Affeldt probably has to come out after pitching one and two thirds innings. Still two innings left too, I hope three runs is enough.
I wouldn’t let Brian Wilson pitch to Pujols with runners on. I’d walk him and let someone else beat the Giants. I looked at the Cards stats the other day. It’s no wonder they traded for DeRosa; everyone else is having a bad season, can’t hit, or both.
