The Fantastic Four

If the Giants win their 2nd MBL Championship in the last 3 years vs. the M's (series tied at 2), look no further than the Fantastic Four for the reason. Well, game four, that is. Rookie phoenom Noah Lowry has started all 3 game 4's this post season, and has won them all. "Little Unit" playoffs pitching numbers look like this: 3-0, 3 QS, 3.32 era, 1.200 whip, 21.2 IP, 12k/6bb.

His regular season numbers also reflected on a bright Bay Area future: 6-2 6 of 11 QS, 3.50 era, 1.290 whip, 74.2 IP, 55k/24bb. The Giants pitching is as deep as the left field alley at SBC, and they most certainly will be looking to deal for hitters in the off-season.

Sources close to the team say that SF will protect another young stud, P Matt Cain, and use him as their first round choice in next March's FA draft. This could spell the end of the glorious tenure of Curt Schilling with the Giants. Stay tuned.....

Oh, yeah, almost forgot. Santa is sending Pat Barry season tix to the MBL Giants, so he'll always be able to be in the playoffs each season......
