Giants manage just two runs over last two games in CIncy

The bright side: They won Wednesday's game 1-0.

The ugly side: They lost 2-1 in the 10th Thursday afternoon.

To tell you the Giants offense is anemic would be to tell you they have fog in San Francisco.

You know I and I know it, but the display the last two days has been pretty awful.

First of all the G-Men have a tendency to make ordinary pitchers look tremendous. Great American Ballpark is a hitter's paradise and they couldn't do squat.

More troubling though is the consistency in which they fail to score runs. Runner on second no outs, first and third with one out, the leadoff man gets aboard.

Every possible way to start a rally ends with poor hitting and no runs.

Yesterday's game was a big one to win and they blew it.

The Giants have to win when Cain and Lincecum pitch but they keep finding ways to blow it.

This team could win 100 games with a little more run support.

The good and the bad of the bullpen - Tueday and Wednesday the 'pen went 7 innings, gave up one hit, and struck out 12.

Thursday Bob Howry gives up the walk-off. He's the first pitcher in MLB history to yield game-ending homers to three different rookies in his career and all have come in the last three months.
