Agreed. He's great fun to watch. I'm totally envious.
On the Giants side...I remember a section in Money Ball that, paraphrased, stated that all things tend to even out, and if a good team has a bad 1/3 of the season, then the other 2/3 generall balance it out. So on that topic, three days ago, the Giants had a season high 16 hits in a 9-5 10 inning win over the Brewers. They almost lost the game twice, but the Brewers had an error, and the Giants 3B (Nunez) made an amazing catch.
Then today, the Giants had another season high of 17 hits in a 13-8 victory over the Twins. Nunez, Posey, Pence and Slater all had three hits. Slater's season average is up to .320. Tomlinson batted leadoff and went 2 for 4, hitting .308 for the season. Every starter had at least one hit. Cain continued his rolling disaster of a season at 5 earned runs in 4 1/3 inning. All the middle and relief guys pitched well.
