And the refs followed it up with that third base phantom tag. Giants deserved this one

I agree. But I think the Rockies are proving they aren't SF's bitch anymore.

I agree. But I think the Rockies are proving they aren't SF's bitch anymore.

The Giants' starting pitching has been inconsistent and at times, downright awful. I'm confident Cain will come around and Bumgarner is solid. But Lincecum and Zito are below average and Vogelsong was simply returning to his norm after a couple of unbelievable seasons. SF is very vulnerable. I think AZ or Colorado have an excellent chance of winning the division.

I'd like to see the Giants give Gaudin a start or two while Vogey is on the DL. I think he could be an effective starter. I've liked what I've seen from him so far.

Giants look like a different team today, minus spotting the Rox 2 runs in the first...

What is it with the starters and the first inning? This is almost like the Jazz spotting each team a big lead and then trying to come back.

Cain was impressive following that first inning where it looked like he'd give up 5 runs.

Can anyone make a case against Tulo being the NL frontrunner MVP at this point (outside how stupid hard it is for a pitcher to get it..)? Ya, ya, it's way too early. But damn those are some impressive stats.

I'm not buying Coors Field on this one because he has even HR, 1 more ribi, and 2 more doubles away.

And he's [finally] clutch with base runners.

But he'll Tulo his streakiness.

 

[Bronco70]

Tulo is definitely in the running, at this point. Paul Goldschmidt too, just thinking within the division.

On a side note, two weeks from today I will be at Coors Field. I'm pretty jacked.

 

[scootsy]

Don't forget Joey Votto.

You know I'm jealous! Business trip?

Don't forget Joey Votto.

I will forget, thank you.
