Have A Night Beltran
Have a night Carlos Beltran! Beltran helped the San Francisco Giants end the Arizona Diamondbacks winning streak and makeup a game in the NL West race.
Beltran had a 4-for-4 night and had a chance to hit for the cycle. He had the homer, triple and the single. Just wasn’t able to get that double.
The Giants knew it was a must win game last night. They defeated the D-Backs by the score of 6-2. I believe the Giants must at least take 2-out-of-3 against the D-Backs to still have a chance, but how sweet would a sweep be? That would have the Giants just 3 games back, and they still have 3 more games against the D-Backs this year.
Game 2 of the series is tonight and the freak Tim Lincecum is on the mound. Let’s hope Timmy can get this win streak to 3 games and help us catch another game in the NL West.

SF Giants 2010 Opener
Opening Day has come and gone. The Giants are currently on pace to win 162 games. That will more than likely not happen, because we do have Barry Zito pitching about 29 of those games. Which means the Giants will probably go 133-29 this year. I’m only kidding….
The Giants looked great last night in the opener. Tim Lincecum was awesome and shined like a bright star in space. I’m just messing around with the star comment, but he did look really good. He went 7 strong innings and only allowed 4 hits. He didn’t give up any runs or walks. His velocity was around 92-95mph, so that quiet down some of the Lincecum haters that said he wasn’t going to be the same pitcher.
I have more insights on the SF Giants Rumors – 2010 Season Opener Recap. Check it out and leave your comments there. You can see how Mark DeRosa and Aubrey Huff did in their Giants debut.

Posey, Bumgarner – Top 50 Prospects
The Giants have two prospects that made the MLB.com’s top 50 prospects. The two players are Buster Posey and Maddison Bumgarner. Posey was ranked 4th and Bumgarner was ranked #10. The sad thing is we only had 2 of the top 50, but at least our two were in the top ten.
A lot of Giants fans are excited to see what these two guys can do. They did both play in a game together last year for the Giants. This was when the Giants got spanked by the Dodgers. Bumgarner pitched a scoreless inning with Posey behind the plate. Then Posey got his first major league hit the next inning.
For more insights from me on these two players. Go SF Giants Rumors! I have the scouting reports and more thoughts. These two guys will be part of our future, and lets get the future starting in 2010!
