Everyone knows that the Giants have a great pitching staff (but have thier off days occasionally, like today). Whoever begs to differ, just look at their stats.

But I, like everyone else, thinks that the G-men’s offense is the worst. Sure these past few days they’ve had plenty of hits, but when you can’t manufacture any runs, it doesn’t matter if you have 1 or 20!

So let’s refresh this series shall we:
Game 1 of Giants vs. Reds- I was afraid Lincecum wouldn’t get enough runs to support him, but he did! Thank goodness, because Lincecum that day decides to not be himself and gives up 5ER in 6 innings! But the Giant’s awakened offense picked him up, the least they could do after not getting him the win against the Dodgers.
Game 2- Zito pitches a gem, a 2 hitter! Would have liked him to go deeper into that game, but you know how it goes, Zito on the mound and no offense shows up…that is until he leaves the game, even though they just put up 1 run for him. Zito and the Giants are happy with the win, but I for one am tired of looking at Zito’s ugly record. I hope next time they give him some runs. But good job to the bullpen.
Game 3- Cain was yet again amazing, but yet again the runs did not come in. 1 run, scoring by a wild pitch does not count for me. Realllly?!?! And they had about 10 hits or so today. Man Giants’ starting pitchers cannot catch a break. Cain has been stuck w/ win #12 for 5 straight games, he along with Lincecum should have well above 14 wins right now if the Giants had some kind of run support system. Is he and Lincecum really going to be stuck with 12 wins for the rest of the season? Not only are their records at stake, but Timmy and Matty’s chances of the Cy Young will be stolen- by either Carpenter & Wainwright with the Machine and the Cards behind them, or Josh Johnson behind the flippen red-hot Marlins, or even Dan Haren, though he’s been cold lately. This is probably the least in their worries, but still.

The Rox won’t wait up (winning their game today and moving up 2 games), Dodgers might soon start picking it up again, and the rest of the Wild Card contenders will most likely kick the Giants to the curb with nothing but the “if only..” (ex:If only we had an offense) dream.

Come on Giants!!! You know your fans are already proud of you for keeping up this far, but it’d make us prouder and happier if you guys make it to the playoffs!!!!!!!
