San Francisco ends month at .500

After their disastrous start of 2-7, the San Francisco Giants have not only ended the month with a 10-10 .500 record, but have taken every series that they have played: Two series (4 games) against Arizona, 2 games against San Diego and two of three from the hated Dodgers, including a 9-4 win Wednesday evening at ATT Park...Couple of things you might never ever see at a ballpark again as long as you live: The pitcher batting 8th and Juan Pierre bringing up the rear, AND, AND Bengie Molina knocking a triple of the centerfield wall!  Molina is becoming the heart and soul of the Giants.  He has been recognized the past two seasons with the Willie Mac Award, voted by players and coaches as the most inspirational player on the club.  Looks like he is the leader for a third award.  The award is named for great Giants slugger Willie McCovey, who played most of his career with the Giants and was and is a fan favorite...Wind was blowing all three nights, but didn't effect this longtime fan that much.  Had to take a jacket OFF on Monday night, cause I got too warm...Three beginning Friday evening with Colorado and then a road trip that begins with the Cubs at Wrigley beginning  Monday evening...I've been to five games this year, have seen Lincecum start three times and Barry Zito start twice.  We expect a lot from Lincecum, who now stands at 2nd in the National League with 44 K's.  Zito, who has been a major disappointment since signing with the Giants three winters back, has ptiched well, though he does not yet have a win this year...Give him time...Good rootin', good readin' and see ya' at the ballpark
