Giants Report: Blood Feud

Ray Durham got the huge hit for the Giants tonight in the 8th inning as they went on to beat the Dodgers 5-4. The Giants have now won 8 straight and are tied for the lead in the NL West. This team is impossible to figure out. Since starting out 1-5, they've been taking the teams from their division out to the woodshed and beating the crap out of them. Pretty much everyone in baseball picked the Giants to finish last in the NL West, but last place teams don't win 8 straight games.

Barry Bonds hit home run number 741 Wednesday night as the Giants won their seventh straight by beating the hated Dodgers 6-4. After a hideous start, the Giants are now on fire. Bonds, meanwhile, may be the hottest player in the game not named A-Rod. He's hitting .346, with 7 home runs, 15 RBIs and has a slugging percentage of .808.

Even though I'm a huge Bonds fan, I know he used steroids. But this year is interesting. We have to assume he's not using steroids because MLB is testing more vigorously for that now. Which begs the question: What is he on? Maybe nothing, maybe HGH. I don't really know and I don't really care. It's entertainment, and I am entertained.

Everyone says that Yanks/Red Sox is the best rivalry in baseball. That's certainly true for the present day. But historically the blood feud between the Giants and Dodgers is the best rivalry in baseball history. It dates all the way back to their days in New York together and it hasn't eased up at all since they came west. We hate them and they hate us. Tonight in Round 1, the Giants won 5-3, making today the best day in the history of the world. The Giants are also heating up. After having won 6 in a row their record now stands at 10-8.
