Bumgarner gets the start in LA LA Land coming off his great start in Atlanta. Looks like his good fastball is back. Giants usually hit Maholm pretty good. Giants can make a statement this weekend and winning this game guarantees a split in the series but the Giants are hungry for more. Looking forward to Bum's outing.

Picks to click...Posey and Morse who should pound on the lefty tonight. Posey really likes to hit lefty's.

Go Giants !!

BEAT L.A. !! BEAT L.A. !!

It will be HUGE if we get this game tonight. We have our ace vs their #5, so we should be able to take this one.

The weekend has Cain vs Greinke and Hudson vs Kershaw. Those games will be tough.

I will be at the game tonight, I thought I'd never step foot inside Dodger Stadium again since the Brian Stow incident but I'm turning fear into faith that I'll be okay. Going with 4 other good friends (dodger fans) Still hesitant to wear any Giant gear though. Anyways here's to a great game and a Giants win!

probably smart not to sport the orange and black, but I've been reading that the new ownership has really beefed up security and that it's a much better place. I was there on my birthday this year (Apr 5) and it was very nice. I'd be interested in your experience though.

Yes please, a report would be nice. I'm tempted to go to Sunday's game.

4 pitches and 2 outs,

I hope Belt's thumb is ok.

Hacktastic hitting since the first. Eight straight batters set down by Maholm...25 pitches seen.

25 pitches in the first; 32 pitches in the next three innings.

ppppffffttttt

tzill-approved game so far. Good pitching. Cr@ppy hitting.

Too much of a good thing is evidently a bad thing.

 

[Stokes1931]

Giants now have three "hitters" in the lineup batting under .200

A good pitch-eating-at-bat for Pence. Let's get to their 'pen boys.

 

[tzill]

So, Ishi comes up from AAA, or Susac?

Edit: Ishi still on DL.

Is it time for the Susser??
