JJ: Like Texas, feasted on National League in interleague.
3
Tony: Need early-season Ethier, not the guy of last few weeks.
JJ: 22-8 since May 22. They are who we thought they were.

JJ: Recent struggles have allowed Giants back into race.
5
Tony: Zimmerman is not right, which is a huge blow.
JJ: I always thought Tony was a weird wuss anyways.

JJ: Craig Kimbrel's FIP: 0.91. 0.91!
13
Tony: Beltran's still awesome, team still hanging around.
JJ: Think Wainwright turns it on in second half.
14
Tony: They're probably jumping for joy to play the Cubs.
JJ: If Alvarez is coming around, could keep 'em in contention.
15
Tony: Beachy injury leaves them vulnerable.
JJ: Would love to see R.A. Dickey start All-Star Game.

18
Tony: Bet they wish they could play the Cubs every day.

Tony: They need to make a move lest this scuffle lasts.
JJ: Back over .500 and lurking in NL Wild Card hunt.
