Halle-freaking-lujah

It might have not been a high scoring game, but damn if we didn't deserve the win.

First things first, Cain is a SAVAGE! Not only did he throw a shut out game but helped himself in the batters box with a base on balls and an RBI single to put us up 2-0. I can't wait till we see the first Cain homerun this year too, it's always a treat.

Bengie's RBI in the first kept the Giants 15-0 when scoring first. Pretty impressive. It will be interesting to see how long we keep this statistic going.

*knock on wood* 

It was great to see Kevin Frandsen come play, too. He didn't do much offensively but his defense was strong, and that's what we really needed in such a close game.

What was up with the ESPN announcers this game? I'm sorry, but 3+ innings talking ONLY about the Met's leadership, or lack thereof, was so boring. I was surprised since John Miller, the best baseball announcer ever, and avid Giants fan, was also calling the game. I do have to say though, that there is nothing better than listening to Kruk and Kuip, they will make any game, win or lose, entertaining.

One thing that really solidified this game (apart from Cain's and the bullpen) was the defense. Ishikawa had a great defensive game. The double play to get us out of a jam in the 2nd inning was MONEY! Is he the next JT? Perhaps!

Ah, Velez. I really want to like you but it just isn't happening so far this season. I would much prefer to keep Frandsen up here then Velez. If you want to understand why, read my premier blog. What do you all think of Velez? Am I crazy for feeling this way? 

I am happy that Wilson was able to work out his inability to get the Met's out. Maybe it just needs to be a save opportunity...

Hope all the Giants fans out there appreciated the win today. They wanted it, and took it. It was about freaking time.

Here's to having a great road trip!!!

Next game is on Tuesday @ 7:05pm against the Padres and can be seen on CSN-BA.

Tomorrow is an off day (and well deserved). Although, I hate off days. I missed baseball for too long during the off season. : )

Pitching match up on Tuesday will be Zito against Young. Let's hope Zito pitches as good as he has been. I know he can rock it.

Till Tuesday!
