Good news-finally-for San Francisco

Good news-finally-for the Giants...A 1-0 10th inning win over the San Diego Padres had them sweeping the brief two game series.  Bengie Molina knocked in Andres Torres with a ground rule double to send everyone home...Beginning the season 2-7, the Giants took two of three from the Arizona Diamondbacks over the weekend and swept two games over the Padres in walk off fashion, to give them a more respectable 6-8 record in the young season The other story from ATT was Barry Zito, the Barry Zito of old, the Barry Zito which the Giants paid $126 million over seven years.  In seven strong innings, he blanked the Padres on 6 hits, while striking out 5.  Zito was challenging hitters with wicked off speed stuff; He set up  more than one Padre hitter with fast stuff (87-89) and chased them with off speed stuff, as low as 69 mph...He looked like the Barry of old, real old, way back to Oakland old...Zito, Howry, Affeldt and winner Brian Wilson scattered 8 hits all afternoon.  Wilson picked up the win with two solid, yet excruciatingly painful for the fans, innings...Jonathan Sanchez was warming up in the bullpen at one point...A roster move, sending Alex Hinshaw to Fresno, while promoting catcher Steve Holm, leaves the team with just Affeldt as the lone lefthanded reliever...Next up: Arizona over the weekend and then home to the Dodgers Monday,Tuesday and Wednesday evenings...Good readin', good rootin' and see ya at the ballpark!   Apil 22nd
