Coming out of a 3 game sweep of the Dodgers, and the Astros head into another four game west coast set, this time with the Giants. I wish they could swap the foursomes with threesomes. I find myself completely ambiguous about the Giants this season. With Barry and his drag show gone I don’t see much to get me fired up. Oh, they’ve got some young arms worth watching who can really pump it in there and a couple of guys who are good with the wood, but none of them spark any real passion in me. Here’s the part where you’d usually see a bunch of gay jokes and sly innuendo but those are so overdone and will no doubt be used anyway in the TZ and GZ so I won’t talk about looking out for the backdoor slider or Kaz’s fissure. The best thing about the Giants to me is Scott’s clincher.
