Who is Vogglesong and what did he comeback from? My next thing to google.

Vogglesong is a starting pitcher for the Giants that has had ups and downs in MLB for about 10 years and was thought to be out as a starter. He has been throwing great stuff for the Giants- and a damn good hitter!!

Today we play the Indians. I'm just jazzed that the Giants got out of the losing streak they were in and Lincecum, too! His was brilliant yesterday against the twins after having lousy games since late May. He had 12 strike outs and almost had a shutout. Damn, if the twins didn't get a run after Lincecum was taken out after the 7th and over a hundred pitches. But they won.

I am really enjoying how these guys are keeping it together with all the injuries. I doubt they go any further than one series in the play-offs, but I think they will be in at least one play-off series. Not hitting with any consistency, though. Not even Sandovol after getting back from injury. Her is our only real power hitter. Funny, I don't miss the Bonds days-I really don't like the one star thing- it is a team sport! He was watching the game at AT&T yesterday and I almost feel like he ought not show his face at the park!

I love seeing all the sell out games- the Giants play has brought some needed business to SF merchants. And this month, the giants have been doing a lot of ads for Pride. Kinda kewl.

Gotta go look up info/stats on the Indians- don't know them well.
