As you have read by our introductions Blake and I are fans of rival teams, Dodgers and Giants. Rivals for many years, its Blue against Orange! But, Blake and I aren't rivals :) We will be talking about both of our teams, supporting them and showing our love, but never bashing on any other team. Yea, I don't like the Dodgers but I will be nice when posting blogs :)
So enough said about our rivalry, lets talks about baseball!
Texas Rangers are doing amazing with 6 wins and no losses. Another team doing really well is the Cincinnati Reds with 5 wins and a loss. Both of these teams are starting off the season really well! What about the Champions though? Whats going on? The Giants, the World Series Champions aren't doing very well right now. They lost 3 out of their 4 game series with the Dodgers and lost 1 out of the 2 with the Padres. Cain got the win against the Dodgers with 2 strikeouts, and only gave up 5 hits with no earned runs. Giants beating LA 10-0. Lincecum got the second win for the Giants against the San Diego Padres. He got 13 strikeouts allowing only 3 hits. Now thats the FREAK we all know!
So what can we expect from the Giants vs. Cardinals game tomorrow? Well, on the mound we will be seeing Sanchez and Westbrook, both losing their first game of the season. The Giants pitcher Sanchez got the loss against the Dodgers on Friday's game. This 23 year old left handed pitcher gave up 4 runs (2 earned), 7 hits, and 3 walks in 5 2/3 innings. Westbrook, the Cardinals pitcher also got a loss against the Padres. This 33 year old right handed pitcher gave up 8 earned runs, 6 hits and 5 walks in 4 1/3 inning. Rough start for both pitchers. Giants have also been struggling with their outfield, committing many errors. Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols has also been struggling. He has a batting average of .182 (4 for 22) in 6 games, his lowest since 2007. Both teams have been struggling but hopefully will get stronger as the season continues.
This game will be the opener of the San Francisco Giants. Big day to be in San Francisco! The Giants will be putting up their World Series Champions banner up for the first time in San Francisco. With all that wind coming from the bay I'm sure that banner will be looking pretty nice :) not only that but tomorrow the Giants will be honoring their game to the Giants Fan Bryan Stow, a Santa Cruz paramedic who was beaten by Dodgers fans on Thursdays game. Celebrations will continue all weekend with Saturday's ring ceremony and Sunday with the Rookie of the Year Award ceremony for Buster Posey. Not forgetting another big thing to celebrate, which is that Brian Wilson is back on the mound so... FEAR THE BEARD!
Giants Fans: Don's Stop Believing! :)
