 I have no deep thoughts at all today, so here are a few interesting Giants notes:
Edgardo Alfonzo has a five-game hitting streak. During those games, he is 9-for-19 with a homer and 5 RBI. He has raised his batting average 49 points, to .216. Sounds like he's coming around.
On the other hand, Marquis Grissom is on a 2-for-18 slump. Oops.
Joe Nathan has now pitched 24 1/3 scoreless innings. It's now May, and he has not yet given up a single earned run. He hasn't even given up an unearned run. His WHIP is about 0.75. This guy is simply unreal.
On the other hand, Robb Nen is having a third operation on his injured shoulder, and he will definitely be out for the entire season. Lousy way to enter free agency, if you ask me. Here's hoping he's back on the mound in 2004, dominating like he used to.
Andres Galarraga is 8-for-10 with runners in scoring position.
On the other hand, Jose Cruz Jr. is only 7-for-28 with runners in scoring position.
The Giants are now 22-9, with a 6 1/2-game lead over the Colorado Rockies. Not bad for May 6.
And oh, by the way, some dude named Barry hit his 10th homer of the year today. If he continues this pace, he'll hit 54 this year and end the season with, oh, I dunno, 667 career home runs. Give or take a dozen.
