    Giants Giants Are Getting Taller

    Hello my fellow members, it is I LTR and it looks like my Giants are finally starting to roll with no turning back. This has been a fun team to watch, especially when Molina left town. Posey has been nothing short of a ROY with his two double digit hitting streak and exceptional game calling. Huff has been a MVP-type candidate and the pitching staff has been superb and got even better at the trade deadline. Bumgardner has been fantastic and Wilson seems to be getting better and better (he still scares me at times). I expect this team to win the West but if anything else at least win the Wild Card. Andres Torres has been a great surprise and don't care if it is a career year and possible fluke, he is raking now. Giants have depth in pitching and position players. The dugout always looks full of life and now starting to play well against the West which is vital. And the Giants are doing all of this despite having Bochy as their manager.

    Good to have you back.

    Padres and Giants are neck and neck and those bastards in San Fran refuse to lose any to make it easier.

    Could make for some interesting smack talk if you stick around.

    I think I'll stick around. I just hope I haven't jinxed them now by coming back. They did quite well in my absence.

    I squashed a giants jinx when I put Huff in my top 5 MVP candidates.

    Awesome to see you back man. I hope life has been treating you well bro.

    And Posey is the man. He's been way fun to watch and has been a fantasy savior.

    Thanks MIssion, been working my ass off but enjoying life as much as anyone can. Posey has been my savior too. Traded Mauer just to make room for him. Who has the brass balls to do that

    Nice to see you again bro! Finally the Giants are doing good, and sad part is that they are not credit from the national media(especially from ESPN) but I don't care, cause I like it like the way its going!

    **** the media because they are going to miss one of the best races in all of baseball. Giants have a big series Braves and really are going to be tested this month. I just hope they stay away from Guillen.

    This race could be good to the end because the Giants and Padres finish the season against each other.

    And while they are losing some ground it's still too early to count out LA and Colorado.

    Yeah, I wish the media would give this division much more attention. Its such a good division and extremely fun to watch. I live out in Idaho (obviously) and out here our FSN network is the Rockies so I get to catch quite a few NL West games and I always enjoy watching them. Great division we have out here in the west and it will definitely be a fun thing to watch.

    This race WILL be good to the end. I'm not counting LA or COL out due to the schedule. Baseball happens!
