Still In The Game
So after the horrid start we're only three-and-a-half games back of the Dodgers in the National League West.
The schedule looks good for the immediate future: Having won five in a row, the Giants get one more home game against Arizona before three with Colorado, and then eight more road games against those same two teams.
Barry's hitting again; two homers in two days prevent a homer-less May (although he was helped on the first one by some idiot dumb-ass fans who still haven't gotten it through their dumb-ass heads that you don't reach into the field of play to grab a live ball). Jason appears to be back to his usual pitching form, and Pedro not only avoided hitting into a double play in the eighth last night, he wound up hitting a two-run double which proved to be the game-winner in a 4-3 triumph over the Snakes.
Three-and-a-half back at this point, as bad as San Francisco has been this year, is a gift. Maybe by the time the four-game road series in Denver is over we'll be in first. Shall we shoot for that? To dream the impossible dream...
