Another W for the Giants over the Dodgers

. Cain vs Grenkie should be a good pitching match up Saturday.

vogeltron · #92 05-12-2014

3 outta 4 over the Dodgers

. Nice to see the G-Men back at the top of the National League.

Wow, I still can not believe how well the Brewers have been playing thus far. Congrats to them.

Streak over for Toronto

Lol, Vogeltron is for Vogelsong. My favorite MLB player. Got beat today. Was at game 2 and 6 of 2012 the NLCS when he pitched and Giants beat the Cardinals. Good memories.

Wow 2012 NLCS - those were good times

Considering Barry Zito pitched a gem in Game 5 in St. Louis. After the disaster he was with the Giants for basically his entire tenure. 2012 was obviously very special for Giants fans.

Like Sandy the big doubter. In 2010 and 2012 everyone said they were over rated. I love it. Giants have a team not a collection of players like the Dodgers. Barf. Keep doubting.

Kinda like your Canadians that are going to win it all. RSOT.

Best record in the National League at this point. I have to give the Brew Crew credit, I don't think many people had them this far up in the standings at this point in the season. The one thing about Baseball is game in April and March count as much as those one in August and September. However, during the course of the long season which is the MLB. The cream seems to come to the top. We will see what happens.

I am quite intrigued my my Giants with Moorse healthy hitting jacks. This guy Brandon Hicks who sucks for average but gets clutch hits and has some power. The #1 thing that people outside SF market don't understand about the Giants. Is how good the bullpen is. If they are in a close game they are relaxed it has been like this for 4 years. If they have the lead you expect the top notch bullets in the pen to close it out.

I will say National League Baseball is very different than American League baseball.

Right on - NL is quite different than the AL side.

Brew Crew is on a tear but they do this regularly then fizzle out.

I am a baseball traditionalist. I like watching the strategy of the National League. Where managers have to double switch. Decide when they need to pinch hit for a pitcher. The long extra inning games take much more strategy because of this. Running out of bench players etc.

Same for me. Grew up at Cincinnati Reds fan and as a little kid got to see the Big Red Machine ( I think the best team ever ) play a lot as my Father and Grandfather and older brothers were Reds crazy fans back then.

AL seems to not be so much fun to watch. We got to see many spring training games over the years here in Florida and seeing the NL teams they just seem to be all around better at almost everything.
