Would it have been nice to sweep the Nationals? Yes, of course it would have been. The reality however is that like many starts this year, the Giants just couldn’t give Zito the run support he needed early on in the game. Too little, too late seemed to be the theme today, offensively speaking.

Overall though, it was a good series in which the Giants came out on top. Our record this year seems fifty times better than last year at this time. Maybe it’s the team morale, maybe it’s the low expectations or maybe it’s just baseball. I’m going to go with the latter.

Again Pablo Sandoval had some great defensive plays, Zito started out really strong and it was nice to see some of the kids get a start today. I think that the combination of veterans and newcomers has really had an effect on everyone in the dugout, and it’s going to pay off (I hope!).

The key to the Giants offense seems to be scoring first. The fact they are undefeated when scoring first is HUGE.  

Tomorrow kicks off a four game homestead against the Mets, this should be a true test of wills and hopefully the bats will be wide awake for this series.

Game time tomorrow is 7:15PST and Sanchez is the starting pitcher. You can watch the game locally on CSN-BA.

Have a great night everyone.

GO GIANTS!
