guys, it was a typo. You may have noticed 6 and 7 are right next to each other on a keyboard and lord knows these smart phone keypads aren't getting any larger.

Anyways, it's now at 23 in what was a Coors classic last night

Then don't use your smartphone to visit the site.

PROBLEM SOLVED!

Really hope this is a joke...

Actually, I can go one better.

Lose the smartphone. Your life just became far more enjoyable.

For the first time in my life, the Giants sweep in Atlanta!

REALLY impressed with how this team is playing so far. Tim Hudson has been absolutely lights out for the Giants, and Michael Morse is exactly what that lineup needed to infuse a little power into it. The way he's been working with Posey and Pablo has made all the difference so far. Hopefully they can keep this up!

It was nice to see Lincecum and Vogelsong pitch well on the road this weekend for once. Cain is out again tonight, so hopefully Petit can repeat his performance from last week. It seems weird that the team was very reliant on the solo home run this week mostly. That can't last so they will need to find other ways to score.

Yeah yeah yeah, I know. Power rankings, especially in May, are dumb. But this still makes me SO happy.

I hope they can both keep this up!

Jeff Samardzija - 9 IP, 126 pitches, the Cubs only hit and only RBI. He'll get a no-decision unless the Cubs somehow win it here in the 9th, which they won't.

Very long East Coast games still ongoing at the time of this post, with Giants tied 10-10 with the Pirates in the 13th and the Nationals/Dodgers game in the 6th inning after a rain delay in Washington. Well past midnight by now in the East.

EDIT: Giants are up 11-10 now after a crazy series of events with pitcher Jean Machi hitting a bunt that ended up scoring Pence. Machi ended up stealing a base afterwards. Very crazy game.

It's REALLY early, and I usually don't do this, but this year's Giants team is probably in my top 5 so far for favorite Giants teams ever. They're just a blast to watch.

"He could break a record of 57 games!"

"No, it's 56 games!!!!"

"No but he needs 57 to BREAK it! See?"

"Nuh-uh! He said you need 57 to TIE it! Here's the PROOF! Boom! I was right!!"

Jesus Christ.

When someone gets to 45 let me know otherwise its just another streak., A 10 game streak is hard to do, and just one player has had a 44 game streak since 1941, after that you need another 12 games just to tie. This is how impossible this record is.

Also, pitching is better now than it was in Dimaggio's day for a few reasons. Among them are larger talent pool, specialists are more prevalent today so a guy who's 0 for 3 has to face his third pitcher of the game instead of the starter for the fourth time, and there's more scouting.

Another crazy 2014 Giants game; today's game ended with an overturned instant replay call concerning a play at home. It went in favor of the Pirates and resulted in what has to be the first walkoff win as a result of an overturned replay call.

In other words, the replays have kinda killed the Giants in this early season.

That was depressing, thinking your team is still alive when it actuality it was over. :(

Sandoval is off to a terrible start(like .171 so far this year). His act of hitting into double plays and swinging at horrid pitches has worn thin, and maybe we should thinking about cutting ties with him soon.

Also here's an insane stat: Tulo is 18 of 21 with RISP at Coors this year. Not a misprint.

My beloved Detroit Tigers are rolling in the American League Central. Even though they are the only team in the division above .500, I still believe their record indicates that this could be the year that they bring back the World Series championship to Detroit. Once again we'll hear the roar from '84. And this time they'll win…
