WHY THE GIANTS ARE WINNING

One huge reason the GIANTS have won 11 out of there last 16 is NOT the power of Aubrey Huff OR Pat Burrell. Although their arrival as well as Buster POSEY's did neutalize the slumps of Molina and Panda bear.

In tonight's game we got to see a serious problem defined. After Burrel led off with a solo homerun off of Chris Tillman, Buter Posey got on base with a single up the middle. Behind Posey was the Panda who drove a triple that was stretched into a double into triples alley. POSEY scored easily from first. He scored standing up with NO THROW. My point is not that we're winning games because of Posey's great speed; but rather Molina's absence is keeping the flow of traffic moving at a steady/winning pace. Had Molina been on first he probably would have been thrown out trying for third. Either that or looked rediculous forcing Sandoval to hold to a 3 base single.

The question has been for management for the longest time. Where do you bat Molina? The smarest thing for the opposing team to do would be to walk Molina. That would stop any chance of a rally. I think Bochy Knows this which means he has a very serious 4.5 million dollar problem on his hands.

My other concern which the Giants need to address now is their Bull Pen. When called upon in the eigth inning to do their thing, the pen has been suspenceful to say the least. What happens when you have great young starters and NO faith in your pen is you get several starters going on the DL with elbow pain. Then TJ surgery. Then you have the 2004 Chicago Cubs starting staff or worse, the 1981 Oakland Staff. It's a shame that the 81 A's Rotation will be known not as the "Class of 81" like they were billed by S.I.; but as great pitching coaches that had their professional careers ended early by Billy Martin.

Many still wonder what kind of numbers Mark Prior, Kerri Woods and Carlos Zambrano would have put up had Dusty not driven Prior and Woods to Surgery.

As a side note, Is it just me, or does Buster Posey look like he's starting to tire? When he came up he was stinging line drives to all fields. Tonight going 1 for 4 he bounced out easily to the infield. He seemed to start his funk on the road trip to Pitt and Cinci. He looks like he's just trying to make contact. I hope the Giant's hitting coach Hensley Meuller hasn't F'd with his mechanics. If so, he should be fired.

Ace out.
