San Francisco Giants must take advantage of remaining June schedule
If there’s one word that can be used to describe the San Francisco Giants season thus far, it’s frustration. The club has struggled to establish consistency, lacking any sort of championship identity.
The once vaunted pitching rotation is average at best, limping by from start to start. Matt Cain has been maddeningly unpredictable, seemingly incapable of stringing together back...

Josh Osich helps San Jose clinch first-half title, has bright future with the Giants
The San Francisco Giants are looking to build a dynasty. In modern-day baseball, two World Series titles in three years will just about do it, but a third one couldn’t hurt.

Much of that success comes from their single-A affiliate just a few miles...

SF Giants Rumors: Shaky Lincecum, Scutaro Injury, Injuries In Fresno
I’m not sure where to even start… Let’s start with the San Francisco Giants falling to the Pirates to open the series. Tim Lincecum put up another shaky outing, and the Giants went on to lose 8-2.
Lincecum only lasted 4.2 innings and allowed 7 hits, 2 ER and 2 walks. He continues to struggle to put up consecutive consistent outings. I really believe opposing teams no longer...
