Steve Holm's two-run homer in the seventh proved to be the difference as the Giants edged the Phillies 4-3 in the rubber match of a three-game set at AT&T Park. The shot was Holm's first of his major league career. John Bowker was 2-for-3 with an RBI for San Francisco, which has won two straight on the heels of a five-game losing streak. Jack Taschner tossed a scoreless inning of relief to impr

Over the years a few individuals have been able to capture the wandering, dust-caked, sonic isolation of Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone, transferring the Italian’s love of the West into indie rock emotional detachment. Yo La Tengo. Pell Mell. Early Calexico. Giant Sand/Howe Gelb. The list is a short one, but a revered one. Valley of the Giants is the latest outfit deserving of keeping such illuminated company. And their self-titled debut is an amazing wash of melancholic instrumentation, forlorn vocalization, and enough sun choked, cacti laced ambiance to fill the soundtracks of at least a dozen alternative Westerns.

Obligatory victory icons:AND[Recap]Well done.Another solid win today, and it's good to beat the teams you should beat. We're a better team than the Giants, but would anyone be shocked if they beat us a few times?Maybe not. We're 13-2 against the Giants in our last 15 contests with them.---Paul Maholm started and wasn't his dominant home self, but pitched pretty well minus a forgettable fourth inning, where he allowed all 4 of the Giant runs to score. Maholm ended up going 6 innings, 100+ pitches, and 4 runs. He kept the team in the game.The Pirates were able to get Maholm to an early lead with a Doumit 2 RBI hit in the 2nd.The bad 4th inning followed and Maholm would leave the game with a 2 run deficit.The offense struck in the 7th, though. Nyjer Morgan reached on a bunt. Freddy doubled. M

Pirates (14-19) vs. Giants (14-20)12:35--PNC Park, PittsburghMatt Cain (1-2, 4.08) vs. Paul Maholm (2-3, 4.58)[GameTrax]-------------An early start on a weekday at home (not counting the opener). These annoy me. Never on TV, never any kind of crowd. Oh well. It'd be hard for me to complain if we could come away with a sweep.Remember how I said we had to come away from the WASH-SF stretch with more wins than losses? That will be accomplished with a win, despite the Washington debacle.Paul Maholm loves home games. I'm pretty sure all 3 losses were on the road and both wins at home. Not sure if that's really a great trend to follow, but it'd be nice if he could at least keep if up for another game.Matt Cain is solid, and is the 2nd best pitcher on the Giants. Lack of run support is obviously

 In his tribute to EDDINGTON’s victory in Saturday’s Gomma Gomma Challenge Gr1, top turf writer David Thistleton observed that EDDINGTON’s performance was a complement to the quality of this year’s three-year-olds, and in the manner of his victory it’s only hard to disagree. In his two previous outings, EDDINGTON had been comprehensively beaten by SA Derby winner, KING’s GAMBIT in the SA Classic, and prior to that by IMBONGI in the Gauteng Guineas and the SA Guineas. Before Saturday IMBONGI and Cape Derby Winner ROYAL SAGE, shared the distinction of holding the highest rating among the current three-year-olds, though that may have changed after this Saturday.

[Box]Two wins in a row and the first series win in quite a while. Very good.The Pirates didn't exactly hit the awful Barry Zito hard, but X-Man hit a 2-run homer to account for the only score off the lefty in 5 innings.Phil Dumatrait countered with 5 innings and change of scoreless work, and would pick up his first major league win.The bullpen was great. Yates, Marte, and Capps with a somewhat shaky 9th (he gave up the run) but ended the game with a familiar GIDP from former Buc Jose Castillo.Solid win. The hitting cooled down, and the pitching picked up. Way to be.

Giants (14-19) at Pirates (13-19)7:05--PNC Park, PittsburghBarry Zito (0-6, 7.53) vs. Phil Dumatrait (0-1, 4.74)[GameTrax]-------If Zito's insanely bad numbers above didn't jump out at you, his contract will. Before the Mets signed Santana this offseason, he was THE HIGHEST PAID PITCHER IN BASEBALL (7 yr, $126M). Last year he was terrible, but this year he's been so bad that the Giants moved him to the bullpen 8 days ago.He didn't get any work.So, for reasons unknown to me, the brilliant Giants have moved him back to start against the hot-hitting Pirates tonight.That's gotta be the major storyline in this one. The Pirates send out Phil Dumatrait, who's been o.k. If the Pirates hit off Zito like they should, we should have an easy win.We'll probably get crushed.

[Recap]Every team gets their laughers in all year, but it's hard to complain when you win with such ease. This victory wasn't completely handed to us, like the Mets game last Wednesday (walks and errors). The Pirates outhit and outpitched a very poor team.Nate McLouth homered twice. Will he ever stop?Adam LaRoche homered for the 2nd straight game. He's over .200 now!!! Getting hot? [WHYGAVS]------Zach Duke was solid. He notched his first win in nearly a year (June 12). He pitched into the 8th.The Pirates had little trouble beating up the highly touted Jonathan Sanchez.--Sean Burnett made his debut in relief once the game was a blowout. He quickly gave up a homer to Jose Castillo. The same Jose Castillo who hadn't homered in like 800-some at-bats until a week ago. So, it was kind of a roug

Nate McLouth hit a pair of homers, drove in three runs and scored twice as the Pirates crushed the Giants 12-6 at PNC Park. Freddy Sanchez knocked in two runs and Adam LaRoche blasted a two-run shot to back seven-plus strong innings by Zach Duke. Duke gave up three runs on eight hits to notch his first win of the season and help Pittsburgh snap a three-game losing skid. Jose Castillo slammed a three-run dinger in the eighth for San Francisco in the setback. Jonathan Sanchez took the loss after getting tagged for seven runs on six hits in only four-and-a-third innings. The Giants have lost three of their last four games.

Giants (14-18) at Pirates (12-19)7:05--PNC Park, PittsburghJonathan Sanchez (2-1, 3.48) vs. Zach Duke (0-2, 4.79)[GameTrax]----As I've said a bunch lately, we need this series. It gets a lot tougher after these 3 games.Both of these starters did not pitch well last time against tonight's opponent. Sanchez (who has been very impressive so far this year) gave up 4 runs without getting anyone out last August against the Bucs (in relief). Duke, I vividly remember (in a game I attended) gave up two bombs to Barry Bonds and was knocked out of a game against the Giants in, oh, maybe the third inning.POSITIVES:The Giants don't have Bonds anymore.Duke was good last time out (albeit vs. the Nationals)We're at home. Yay.-----Interesting lineup move tonight by Russell--Freddy will lead off (despite a

The San Francisco Giants on Friday outhit the Philadelphia Phillies 16-8, yet neither team could score in regulation; a walk-off home run by Pat Burrell in the bottom of the 10th inning boosted Philadelphia past San Francisco 6-5 at Citizens Bank Park. Philadelphia was led by Chase Utley and Pedro Feliz with 2 hits each - with Utley hitting a HR, scoring twice while driving in 2; Feliz also homered, scoring once while driving in 2. Burrell went 1-for-4 with a homer while scoring twice and driving in 2. The winning pitcher was J.C. Romero (2-0) who pitched an inning, allowing 3 hits, an earned run, walking 1 while striking out 1. San Francisco was led by John Bowker with 4 hits while Randy Winn had 3 hits; Aaron Rowand, Jose Castillo and Emmanuel Burriss had 2 hits apiece for the Giants - w

Filling in for the injured Troy Tulowitzki, Chris Ianetta went 2-for-3 with a solo homer as the Rockies nipped the Giants 3-2 at AT&T Park. Tulowitzki left the game with a strained quad in the first inning. Ianetta scored the go-ahead run on a balk by Giants starter Tim Lincecum in the seventh inning. Aaron Cook gave up 10 hits and two unearned runs in seven innings to move to 4-and-1 with the win. Brian Fuentes worked the ninth for his second save. Lincecum allowed all three runs in seven innings to fall to 4-and-1 with the loss. Bengie Molina and Aaron Rowand had RBI hits in the first inning for San Francisco, which has lost three of its last four games. Colorado snapped a four-game skid.

New York Giants#32 Overall Kenny Phillips (S) MiamiNice pick by the Giants. I thought Phillips could've gone as early as 19 to Philly or to Seattle or the San Diego. Phillips represents a great value here and fills a pressing need for the Super Bowl champs. The Eagles may live to regret this, Brian Dawkins is 35 and they'll get to see Phillips at least twice a year for the next half of a decade.

The San Francisco Giants' starting pitching, save for Barry Zito, has been surprising effective - especially Jonathan Sanchez. Friday's game showcased Sanchez as he had one of his better pitching performances; Sanchez pitched 8 innings, striking out 10, in leading the Giants to a 3-1 win over the Cincinnati Reds at AT&T Park. San Francisco was led by Eugenio Velez and Bengie Molina with 2 hits each - with Velez scoring twice and stealing a base while Molina drove in 2. The winning pitcher was the aforementioned Sanchez as he pitched 8 innings, allowing only 4 hits, an earned run, walking 1 while striking out 10; closer Brian Wilson notched his 8th save. Cincinnati managed only 4 hits - 2 by Ryan Freel while pinch-hitter Brandon Phillips hit a HR, his 3rd of the year. The loss went to A

Rich Aurilia homered in the seventh for the game's only run as the Giants blanked the Padres 1-0 at Petco Park. Tim Lincecum struck out nine over six-and-a-third shutout innings to move to 4-and-0 with the win. Three relievers followed, with Brian Wilson fanning two in the ninth for his seventh save. Chris Young fanned 10 over seven innings of two-hit, one-run ball, but took the tough-luck loss to fall to 1-and-2. Joe Thatcher worked the final two innings for San Diego, which has lost three in a row and seven of its last eight games. San Francisco has won four of its last six games. The Pads are last in the NL West at 9-and-14.

Brandon Webb pitched six innings of three-run ball and doubled in the go-ahead runs in the fourth inning as the Diamondbacks held off the Giants 5-4 at Chase Field. Webb walked two and struck out seven to improve to 5-and-0 on the season. Chris Snyder had a two-run single for Arizona, which overcame an early 3-0 deficit to win for the fifth time in six games. Brandon Lyon got the final three outs for his fifth save. The Snakes lead the majors at 15-and-5. Barry Zito allowed all five runs in three-and-two-thirds innings to drop to 0-and-5 with the loss. Fred Lewis went 3-for-5 with two RBI, and Randy Winn had two hits and drove in two for San Francisco. The Giants lost both games in the series and slipped to 8-and-13 overall.

After Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals, I think it is safe to say that San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Tim Lincecum has the Cards' number; during his last outing against St. Louis last Sunday, he pitched 6 innings while striking out 11 in a Giants win. Lincecum mastered the Cardinals again, pitching 7 shutout innings, leading San Francisco to the 3-0 shutout of St. Louis. San Francisco was led by Aaron Rowand who went 3-for-4 with a home run, a run scored and 2 RBIs while Jose Castillo added 2 hits, including a double and an RBI. The winning pitcher was the aforementioned Lincecum (3-0); he pitched 7 innings while allowing 6 hits, walking 3 while striking out 5. Closer Brian Wilson picked up his 5th save while pitching a scoreless ninth inning. St. Louis was led by Ski

Brandon Webb fired eight strong innings and also hit a two-run single as the Diamondbacks topped the Giants, 4-1, in the rubber match of a three-game set at AT&T Park. Webb struck out five while allowing just three hits and one run to move to 4-and-0 on the year. Brandon Lyon tossed a perfect ninth for his third save. Eric Byrnes and Orlando Hudson also knocked in a run each for Arizona, which improved to a big league-best 11-and-4 on the season. Eugenio Velez plated the lone run for the Giants, who have dropped four-of-six. Barry Zito gave up four runs, three earned, on five hits and five walks over six frames to fall to 0-and-4. Zito has lost four straight for the first time in his career.

Although the season is not quite three weeks old, the Arizona Diamondbacks appear to be for real; Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants illustrated that point as their offense was clicking yet again. A home run by Conor Jackson combined with solid pitching by Micah Owings boosted Arizona to their 10th win, blasting San Francisco 8-2 at AT&T Park. Arizona was led by the aforementioned Jackson as he went 2-for 4 with a double, HR, scoring a run with 3 RBIs while Chris Young went 2-for 4 with a HR, 2 runs scored and 2 RBIs; Eric Byrnes also added 2 hits. Winning pitcher Owings (3-0) pitched 6 innings, allowing only 3 hits, an earned run, walking 2 while striking out 6.San Francisco was led by John Bowker who went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run scored while Eugenio Velez also ad

Bengie Molina's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh inning proved to be the difference as the San Francisco Giants went on to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks, 5-4, in the opener of a three-game series at AT&T Park. Aaron Rowand hit an RBI double while Randy Winn added an RBI single for the Giants, who have won five of their past six games to improve to 6-and-8 on the season. Keiichi Yabu picked up the win in relief of starter Jonathan Sanchez, allowing no runs on one hit over two innings of work to move his record to 1-and-1. Brian Wilson recorded the final three outs for his fourth save. Chad Qualls suffered the loss, allowing two runs (none earned) on one hit over one and-a-third innings to fall to 0-and-1. Connor Jackson clubbed a two-run homer and later added an RBI single for the

After homering in his major league debut on Saturday, John Bowker clubbed a two-run shot and drove in four runs yesterday as the San Francisco Giants beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-4, to gain a split of their four-game set at AT&T Park. Eugenio Velez added a two-run single for the Giants, who improved to 5-and-8 on the season. For Bowker, Sunday was just a continuation of his dream-debut in the big leagues. Called up from Triple-A Fresno on Friday, the 24-year-old Sacramento native became just the eighth Giants player in San Francisco franchise-history to homer in his debut when he connected on a solo blast in Saturday's extra-innings loss. Tim Lincecum went the first six innings for the win, allowing two runs on six hits while striking out 11 to move his record to 2-and-0. Joel Pine

The San Francisco Giants, at least in my opinion, have a weak link in their outfield. That link was further weakened as outfielder Dave Roberts, according to the Associated Press, had surgery on his problematic left knee Saturday and may miss up to 12 weeks, as a result. Team orthopedist Ken Akizuki performed the 45-minute procedure - which included the cleaning out of cartilage behind the knee, caused by arthritis and wear and tear; Roberts will get around for the next 2 1/2 weeks on crutches. But in the meantime, he will, beginning Sunday, begin light rehabilitation exercises to start regaining his range of motion and strength while gaining strength as the swelling subsides. Assuming the rehab goes well, Roberts could head out on a rehab assignment as early as 8 weeks from now; the knee,

Jose Castillo hit an RBI double and Kevin Correia pitched seven-and-two-thirds solid innings as the San Francisco Giants beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-1, in the opener of a four-game series at AT&T Park. Aaron Rowand, Rich Aurilia and Bengie Molina each chipped in with RBI singles for the Giants, who have won three straight games to improve to 4-and-6 on the season. The 27-year old Correia scattered five hits while striking out four to move his record to 1-and-1 while Brian Wilson got the final two outs for his second save. Adam Wainwright took the loss, allowing four runs (all earned) on eight hits while striking out six over seven innings of work to fall to 1-and-1. The series continues this evening at 7:15. Barry Zito takes the mound for San Francisco against Kyle Lohse.

Is it time to jump back into beaten-down financial stocks--or is it still too early?Even the financial giants themselves can't agree.Goldman Sachs said Tuesday that it has selectively upgraded shares of financial services companies as well as the brokerage and asset manager sectors.But the firm remains cautious on stocks of regional banks, mortgage and specialty finance companies and real estate investment trusts. Meanwhile, Merrill Lynch chief investment strategist Richard Bernstein warns against the dangers of "bottom-finishing" in financial stocks."We continue to suggest underweighting financial stocks because of the myriad of risks facing the sector. This applies to financials in a global context, not simply to U.S. financials," Bernstein wrote in "The RIC Report." In upgrading the bro

I wish I could tell you the origin of this story, in fact, I am not certain I even remember where I heard it first. Recently, I was reminded of it and truly inspired by its lesson. So please allow me to share my version (as I remember it) with you…There was a land where there was great abundance. Everything was lush, the people were prosperous and it was definitely a Utopia. The Utopian people were energetic and lived their lives in great prosperity. They were great artists, inventors and entrepreneurs. Everything they touched seemed to turn to gold and they were a very happy people.But near this land, lived a tribe of giants. Real giants, many feet tall who were mean and vindictive. The giants were unhappy and lived in constant turmoil. They had very little and everything they

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Greg Maddux had, believe it or not, some first-inning jitters Monday against the San Francisco Giants; however, as in his case, he overcame that nervousness as he pitched 7 masterful innings, leading San Diego to an impressive win over San Francisco 8-4. San Diego was led by Adrian Gonzalez, going 4-of-5 with a home run, 4 runs scored and 2 RBIs while Khalil Greene went 2-for-3 with a triple and 3 RBIs; Jim Edmonds went 2-for-5 with 2 RBIs while Tadahito Iguchi went 2-for-5 with a double and 2 runs scored. Josh Bard went 2-for-2 with a double. Winning pitcher Maddux (1-0) pitched 7 innings, allowing 3 hits, an earned run, walking 2 while striking out 5.San Francisco was led by Bengie Molina who went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and 3 RBIs while Aaro

Reported By Stephen RhodesLos Angeles Dodgers manager Joe Torre had a near-sleepless night prior to their home opener against the San Francisco Giants Monday; he had nothing to fear at all as Brad Penny (1-0) and 3 relievers pitched 9 shutout innings, blanking the Giants 5-0 in front of 56,000 at Dodger Stadium.

I'm looking forward to getting in there and working with him on what's right and wrong with my mechanics."Giants coach Tom Coughlin said that, "We look forward to working with him on the fundamentals of the game. We do have some technical things to work on, but we are anxious to work with him in our program." This is a boost to Carr's faltering career. Source: ESPN

Spain's ailing real estate sector faces one of its toughest tests to date, as time runs out for two of its biggest companies in make-or-break talks with potential saviors.Inmobiliaria Colonial SA (COL.MC) and Habitat Inmobiliaria SA are both working against the clock to avoid bankruptcy. Their challenges also mirror the difficulties of companies that took up loans for string of pricey acquisitions before the Spanish red-hot real estate market soured.For Habitat, a large Barcelona-based home developer, the failure of five out of a syndicate of 39 banks to sign into a refinancing agreement by last Friday forced the company to extend talks to Wednesday.

They Might Be Giants is an eclectic pop music band that I remember from my high school days as part of the New Wave/Indie movement. Don't Lets Start was a fun favorite of me and my friends. Needless to say, I was a little surprised to learn that the guys have morphed from Indie Pop to Kids Bop on their latest album Here Comes the 123s.My son Ty loves the songs, so I thought I'd share one of their podcasts here:And, then, here's how I remember them from 1986:You can view more They Might Be Giants podcasts here.

Yesterday in Arizona, the New York Giants defeated the New England Patriots for Super Bowl XLII. This was probably one of the biggest upsets in Superbowl history, because the Patriots had a record of (18-1) and hadn’t tasted defeat in more than one year. All throughout the game, the Giants gave the Patriots a taste of their unstoppable defense and the remarkable comeback with 35 seconds on the clock. Tom Brady, who was the NFL’s most valuable player and won his first three Super Bowl’s, was sacked over five times, and at one point was on his knees with his hands on his hips. Eli Manning made the winning 13-yard pass to Plaxico Buress, who hadn’t practiced all week because of injuries, to win the Bowl. This gave the Giants their 11th straight victory on the road, and what they all

Being a Dallas Cowboys fan I have to still give it up the New York Giants. They really did suprise me this year. So please join me as we congraduate them on their performance against the New England Patriots, in what I'll have to admit was one of the best Super Bowl game I've ever seen. Feel free to post a comment of your own. ~ The Voice.

The New York Giants are the best team this year because they won when it mattered the most! For the most part, the only people who thought the New York Giants would win were the NY Giants themselves... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Oh man… I literally don’t have any finger nails left. That was the best Super Bowl I have ever seen. Of course it helps I am a huge Giants fan!! I am going to have to find my Giants hat and wear it in to work. – Jeremy

To pay tribute to the New York Giants organization, I want to remind everyone of what the "experts" and "writers" and other football fans had to say regarding Super Bowl XLII."The New York Giants came away with their last win of the season in Green Bay more than a week ago. They won't get another one," wrote Jesse Kimbrel of the The Spartan Daily. He continued, "When their plane touched down in Arizona, the site of Super Bowl XLII, earlier this week, it may have been their last touchdown of the season as well." Thanks to Eli Manning, there were two other (more important) touchdowns worth celebrating!Someone from WHDH-TV and/or the Associated Press asked if "anyone honestly believe Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, Randy Moss and the Patriots franchise will allow themselves to be associated with o

Eli Manning will no longer have to be the awkward younger brother. He now has a Super Bowl ring. The New York Giants were able to beat Satan's team (the Patriots).People were awed by the amazing Patriots and I might be called a hater, but I definitely did not want them to do well. No team should be running up the score in every game just to show their supremacy.God (a.k.a. Tom Brady) got exposed for what he truly is, just another ordinary quarterback.I feel truly blessed to have witnessed what most called the GREATEST TEAM OF ALL TIME lose, rendering their perfect season completely meaningless.

Wow. As I predicted the other day - that the Patriots would win - I did not really see the Giants coming on like that and winning. However, I did have my Giants pennant up (from when I owned a Deli - to appease the New Yorkers) as well as my McFarlane L.T. figure standing guard over the TV. So, I sent an email to my boy Sage up in Boston. He's been to a lot of parades over the last couple of years, it can't hurt that bad to be missing this one right? His response: "How about you go fuck yourself."Emotional huh? Well, good for the Giants. Now, is it Baseball season yet?

Tonight watching the Super Bowl, as I usually do, I was routing for the underdog. The New England Patriots went into the Bowl with a perfect 18-0 record. They were the clear favourite going into the final against the New York Giants. Almost everyone predicted a Patriot win, and until the final minutes that's what it looked like it would be. But with less than a minute left, Eli Manning threw a pass, that I'm sure will become legendary and will be played countless times tomorrow on television and on the internet, and hit Plaxico Burress for the touchdown to win the game 17-14. What happened tonight was spectacular and reminds of what I believe can and will happen to Mitt Romney, not at the Super Bowl but Super Tuesday. Until recently, John McCain was the clear favourite in the polls.
