GO GIANTS!  

Sunday, May 25, 2008 :: Giants 6 - Marlins 8

Tonight's game will pit a young, up-and-coming team in the Arizona Diamondbacks with a rebuilding team which is still the oldest in the league in the San Francisco Giants.

Looking at the Diamondbacks lineup makes me drool. Power and average up and down the lineup with an outstanding starting rotation. The only weakness for the team is the bullpen, but the starters are so strong and the offense so potent, the relievers will usually have a large cushion to finish the game.

The Giants lineup makes me cringe. Powerless and low-average up and down the lineup with an inconsistent starting rotation. The only strength for the team is speed, but if they can't get on base, speed is useless.
