…. Sweep?!?!

Three games, three wins, three shutouts!!!

Tied for first. The Giants delivered a crucial, mid-season knockout punch to their hated rivals,

sweeping the three game set, and unbelievably, not allowing a run to score:

…. The year was 1890. Benjamin Harrison was president. Bread was 3 cents a loaf. Milk was free because you just squirted it out of the cow. Bruce Bochy’s great-grandfather first uttered the words, “There’s no getting around it,” and the teams that became the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers played their first game.

They have met 2,361 times over 123 seasons. Through all the generations the Giants had not shut out their ancient rivals in three consecutive games.

Wow. That was nice. The Dodgers are reeling, and the Giants are surging. Great time to

be a Giants fan.

UPDATE: OK, maybe not a knockout punch. Maybe more like a standing eight count. ;-)

    “I think they are getting much better at-bats,” Bochy said. “They’re really riding out their at-bats and doing some good things. They’ve seen more pitches, I think that’s been one of the keys to our success.”

    I’m glad that Bochy recognizes the importance of batters seeing more pitches. I had begun to think that this concept wasn’t part of his baseball toolbox. Either that or he and Hensley Meulens lack the authority to influence the way the players approach their at-bats. Still not entirely convinced they have that authority seeing how the majority of their starting eight are the products of other team’s systems (that apparently place a greater value on plate discipline than the Giants).

    The Giants have been playing exciting baseball starting with the series against the A’s. Fun to watch.

    My thoughts, such as they are. http://wherehaveyougonejoe.com/public_html/article.php?story=20120628080958682

    I think we’ll see flashes of really good pitching, but I don’t think we’ll see the kind of sustained dominance from a couple of years back. But really, nobody knows anything for sure. Kinda hoping he would get a chance to face Votto, Phillips, Rowand and the rest of the Reds lineup.

    On the other hand, if Timmy happens to skull Harper when they go to Montreal South, I would be okay with that.

    Harper is a great talent and possibly has an incredible future. On the other hand; 19 year olds who show up to the show and sneer? Heh. Grab some dirt, turd.

    • E says:

      ARGHHH. NOT ROWAND. Rolen! Scott damn Rolen. That SOB Rowand has been gone almost a year and he’s still poisoning my thought process. Heh.

    • Eric says:

      When you can back up the sneer and hit like Harper has, there isn’t much to say. Best thing you can do is get him out, which should wipe that sneer clean.

      • E says:

        He’ll end up embarrassed at some point. Thats just the way things work in baseball. He’s just one of those smarmy spoiled little shits that needs his ass kicked. The Expos really don’t have anybody with the presence to sit him down and ‘splain the facts of life.

        Kid that believes his own media hype is gonna get bombed upside the head sooner or later. Like you say get him out and ignore his ass like the little shit he is works too.

  11. Ben says:

    awesome series, hope Tim is back for real, looking good.

  12. S.F. Giangst says:

    Not a knockout punch. If you insist on a boxing metaphor, think of it as a brilliant combination at the end of round 7 that sends one fighter staggering back to his corner.
