Overachieving Giants Pull Out Another Nail-Biter

It’s way too early to be watching the Wild Card standings – but it’s amazing to see the Giants only one game off the lead, right behind the Mets and the Cardinals.  Wait a minute … those are teams with offense AND pitching.  How can the Giants – with their putrid offense – even be in the same discussion as the Mets and Cardinals?

Lincecum was outstanding again today, with the exception of surrendering a late inning, two-run homer that made this game a nail-biter.

In typical fashion, Wilson put the leadoff batter on and immediately compromised a one-run lead.  But he closed the deal again, and has really been tough lately.  The guy still drives me crazy, but he’s been getting it done.

There’s a ton of chatter in Giants blogs and on KNBR 680 about the Giants possibly shopping Jonathan Sanchez for a bat.  I’m not sure that his trade value is that high right now, but it would be great to see the Giants get a third baseman or a really tough middle- reliever to compliment Affeldt (Howry is not cutting it).  This team is a bat and a middle reliever away from being tough.
