Pitching is one place where the Giants aren't vulnerable to Geritol jokes. With Noah Lowry (L) and Jerome Williams (R) in the starting rotation, we've realy improved over the last few years. Hopefully, Brett Tomko won't take two months to warm up, and Kirk "Woody" Reuter will have a better year overall.

Of course, we're all watching the dude in left field. If Moises Alou delivers in the BA area, Bonds will see more pitches to hit.. and could pass Hank Aaron this year.

As I noted in my long post below, Mike Matheny should help your pitching staff "be all it can be," and a bit more besides. Your Giants have picked up a real gem in Matheny; don't screw it up.
