The Giants have fallen to 1-6 despite holding the Padres to 2 hits and 1 run last night. Matt Cain threw 6 innings of no hit ball and it still wasn't enough for the Giants hitters who couldn't muster a single run.
The Giants have now scored 14 runs in 7 games. They have 2 home runs for the season. There are 7 players who have more home runs by themselves including Alex Rodriguez with 5. Jose Reyes has 10 runs for the Mets, the way things are going he may pass by the Giants soon.
The Giants starting pitching (other than Zito) has been pretty good. It's the hitting that's killing them. They have to start scoring some runs or this season will be over very soon. All that will be left is the wait for Bonds to break Aaron's record.
It'd be much nicer from my perspective if Bonds were to break Aaron's record in the midst of a pennant chase rather than while the Giants are 25 games out of first place.
In other news the Yankees have 5 guys in their starting 9 hitting at least .346 (Damon, Jeter, Abreu, Rodriguez, Posada) which has helped them score 41 runs in 6 games, three times as many as the Giants in one less game.
