- Dirty returns and puts together a nice quality start; San Francisc still loses.
- Manny Burriss at shortstop. I'm not sure if Sabchy is grossly inept, doesn't care, or is pulling an Andy Kaufman on the Lunatic Fringe, but I guess it's better to have a completely obvious good idea later rather than never.
If Manny can hold down the position, and all indications are that he can, it frees up second base for a spring training competition between Kevin Frandsen (who's rehab from an Achilles rupture seems to be progressing), Travis Denker (who has put together a nice stat line since his demotion to Fresno), and Eugenio Velez.
- Yippee ki-yay, Scott McClain got called up!
Call me a sap, but I want this guy to get one good year in the majors. I can't think of a better team for him to do it than this rudderless ship. Do you have any better ideas for acquiring a dirt cheap power-hitting corner infielder?
- Speaking of power-hitting corner infielders, The One just had the best month of his pro career.
- The Franchise goes tonight. For those of you haven't noticed, NL Cy Young frontrunner Brandon Webb hasn't been all that in his past two starts.
Another dominant outing by Timmy and, at the outset of September, he could be in control of his Cy Young destiny.
Comment! Why will you watch the Giants this September? Or, perhaps, why won't you (you bandwagon fan)?

Nate The Great is getting the call up! Finally, all of my kvetching hasn't been in vain.
I will watch for Timmy's starts, Fred Lewis' orange shades, and Aaron Rowand's baseball chin.
I'll watch to see McLain hit his first MLB home run.
McClain can hold down 1st base while Neo works his way up. The Little Hurt can play 3rd. Burris is the answer at SS. Frandsen (who the Razor calls an "untouchable") should hopefully work his way into the starting job at 2b and we got an infield!
Off the subject, I am the big sap who was tearing as he watched the Orlando Cepeda statue going up at the 2nd Street Gate.
Q: Do they remove the Seal at the Marina Gate for a Bonds statue? Who goes up next?
To clarify - The Little Hurt plays 3rd, then moves over to 1st after Neo rises.
Anything that served as a reminder to a real Giant player would do better than that damned seal out there. While cute, that thing is hogging prime real estate for honoring one of many great all-time Giants.
They should tear down the seal statue and put up a permanent Crazy Crab moonbounce.
