The Giants: 2005 season in review

All in all, a strange season. A fun season, but a strange one. By rights, the Giants should have been eliminated by the All-Star break, but thanks to the dreadfulness of the NL West, they hung around until Sept. 28. Perhaps they'll all heal up in the offseason, then starting next April, young Matt Cain will lead them to The Promised Land. Barry will hit 74 homers and Schmitty will win 30. You heard it here first.

Picture that
News item: Barry can't play a simulted game because the Dodgers are holding team photo day on their field

Take: The Dodgers knew Barry never shows up for photo day.

Hit him again for me

News item: Barry Bonds slugs pitcher Jason Christiansen.

Take: What's the big deal? Giants fans have been wanting to slug Christiansen for some time.

Cock of the walk, baby!
