Monday November 1st, 2010, A day I never thought I would see in my life. As many of you know the only thing I have wanted more than anything was to finally see that day when my beloved Giants would get to have that oh so awesome celebration in the middle of the infield, celebrating the unthinkable. Well that day finally happen. There are certain situation in life that you play in your mind 1000 times and it still doesn't come close to the real thing when it finally happens. That day was one of them. Today we start the long mission back to defending that title and repeating as world champions. Yesterday I was constantly was checking my Twitter to see if Brandon Belt, the Giants prized prospect was going to make the team. Not only did he make the team, he is going to be the starting first basemen today. With the addition of Belt comes the loss of Travis Ishikawa. I was a big fan of his coming up through the ranks, but it was time for him to go. Better him than Nate Schierholtz. We could not afford to lose that arm in right field. So today we face those hated bums in LA. Big Time Timmy Jim looks to continue his dominance of those Bums. Pablo Sandoval AKA Panda has lost 38 LBS since last season and has had what seems to be a change in approach at the plate this spring. Taking pitches, shortening his swing and going up the middle with 2 strikes. If Panda can return to 2009 form the Giants are going to walk away with the West. Here is how I see the west shaking down this year.
SF
Col
SD
LA
Ari
My bets today are
LAA -1.5 +120
NYY -145
ATL -138
I hope everyone was a great day and enjoy some baseball!
