train...interesting..you felt great about the giants messng up the 89 A's Party on thing is..the Giants were the ones that got sweept and the ring is on those players hands..so losing the game had nothing to do with that..Pride is good and at this point its good thing to have...i dont have to justify why my team is sub par...this year they are...I alway hear how bad Giants management is and how they dont get the big bat??....hello..Barry Lamar Bonds didnt want any other super star there..he had no team mates there they all hated him...Now they dont have the payroll (Zito) maybe a rental??? who know? there are way too many teams still in the hunt for the wild card...I will give you that...Giants have shot...the A's well..5 rookie pitchers...kind of hard to think they can beat out the angels or texas..good talking to you train..ill be at the game..

Anyone know what's up with Nomar? Is he still on the payroll? Is he still alive? <br />How come the Giants don't seem to have these constant injury problems? Seriously, I'm switching sides, at least until Zito's next outing...

Think I'm gonna call myself a Giants fan for the rest of the year...looks like they have a real chance, and a real team, across the bay. <br /><br />I can switch back anytime, right??

Nope did not take the train back to SF last night from the game, I live in the East bay.. I just was feeling great after the Giants squashed your remembering the 89 A's party, and it could not come in better fashion, 2 innings in a ROw the Giants get double plays, and more than half the crowd rose to cheer for the Away team (Giants)! <br /><br />All me and my daughter could do is raise our Giants foam fingers in the crowd of Giants and A's fans with PRIDE! <br /><br />You have a chance to take this series in Oakland, But we have already took the season Series! So better luck next year! Although I do hope by some miracle that the A's catch the Angels/Rangers for the Div. because it is nice to see good things for the Bay Area teams, nomatter who they are! So with that in mind ZZghost28 enjoy the Game! and the rest of your season!

THere will be no battle of the BAY! B/c you have to play someone that is on your level to have a battle,,,,,,and the A's are far from the Giants level!<br /><br />I see more Giants fans at the games this week, and I also see a very nice SWEEP!

2 come from behind wins in a row, very impressive, but very temporary. We do great one wekk awful the next. I think the reason is the bullpen gets worn down too much with all the 4 and 5 inning starts by the young folks who really need to be in the minors to learn their trade beforwe being thrown under the bus. We need at least one and perhaps two Major league starters who can go at least 7 innings without throwing 200 pitches.<br /><br />We finally got Cabrera out of the lead off spot, I was impressed until I saw Cust batting second, lol go figure.<br /><br />I wonder if Geren is actually this stupid or is Billie faxing him the lineup cards??

Ssssssssolid win for the boys.. I though Gonzales was strugging alot..for a big guy he dont have much heat just the beef..though he did stroke some baggers...he can play. let's get the next 2 and come home and get a little pay back on the Giants...

Looks like we're back to our losing ways. Will probably get swept by the Dodgers and probably get destroyed in 2 out of 3 in SD. Looking like it could be a 1-8 roadtrip, ouch. Question is when is Beane going to start firing people? The Rockies fired their manager and he was in the world series 2 years ago.

well the #28 ranking is still ours....oh yea DogerDug...I like the fact you gave the Giants fans a run for thier money on thier page...kind of funny...but I know this game and the best record dont mean anything until you won it all...history has proven that, alot teams have 100 plus wins and got ran out of the playoffs, the dogers are good team...and proven that..you just never know..what can happen in the end.

being sweeped by the Giants really stings...we battled the twins pretty good and they are a soild club, but seeing the giants play the likes of the Nats and d-backs i would thought we would of done better...our pitchers need some milk and cookies, they seem to be too cautious and they played the price...everythime i see Curt Young go to the moun they have a boo boo on their finger..Gezzz grow a set...
