Random thoughts:

Randy Johnson will be pitching tonight's game on 3 days rest: I know having a 45 year old pitcher going on 3 days rest seems pretty frightening but don't fret: Johnson has made nine career regular-season starts on three days of rest, posting a 6-1 record and 2.84 ERA with a strikeout/walk ratio of 80/16. Out of those 9 games, he has pitched 3 complete games!

How about Aaron Rowand! The man is on fire! Longest active hitting streak in the majors. He just seems to be seeing everything coming his way, it was fun to see Florida avoiding him towards the end of last nights game... Perhaps Rowand is can make a case for the all-star game?

Good to see the giants having a successful road-trip for once.. seems like everyone is contributing (well except for Renteria, whats up with that guy?) 4-2 with 4 to play... finish strong guys!

The Aaron Rowand lead-off expirement

Well, It has been 8 games since Bochy moved Rowand to the lead-off spot. Let's review: He is 14-36 (.388 Ba!) 2 Homeruns, 5 doubles, 6 rbis, and perhaps most shocking 2 Stolen bases! I never thought this would work but damn. It is amazing how something as minor as moving someones order in the lineup can serve as a catalyst. Keep it up Rowand were loving the offensive explosion!

Why Rowand Is Batting Lead-off tonight...

    Ryan: just heard it on the bochey show pregame

said he wanted to try mixing it up

and didn't wanna move winn cuz he's been hot

and has been hitting runners in

so he talked to rowand and he said he was cool with it

Thank-you Ryan for the head's up info
