The Giants are Playing some great Baseball!
The Giants recovered to again contend for both the division crown and the Wild Card berth by the end of 2006. And in 2006, the Giants announced that they would not renew the contract of manager Felipe Alou.
The Giants started the regular season quite slowly in 2007. They just scored 20 runs in the first nine games. The San Fransisco Giants went 4'6 on a ten-game road trip through Colorado, Houston and Oakland. And the team returned home for six games, sweeping Houston in three games. The Giants failed to get a hit 16 successive times with runners in scoring position playing the Red Sox in Boston.
The team were swept in a three game series against the Dodgers before heading to Chicago following the All Star Break. And then the Giants embarked on a grueling road trip which included a double header in Pittsburgh. After all, the Giants officially announced that Barry Bonds would not return.
