Have you ever gotten over the joy of a sweep as quickly as after this particular sweep of the Pirates? I hated the fact that going into this series there was all that talk about how we had to sweep them. It just didn't seem like us. The taking it one game at a time thing is the biggest cliche in sports, but it seems that's exactly what this team has done this season. There are still 49 games to go and I just hope we don't get too far ahead of ourselves.

Nothing against the Pirates, no matter how much a team is struggling it's always satisfying to pull off a sweep, but we all knew what was looming this weekend.  Knowing how big a series this one against the Giants is, knowing how that little bitch Jonathan Sanchez was running his mouth...our baseball team deserves a lot of credit for concentrating on the task at hand and taking care of the Pirates.

According to everyone's favorite baseball writer...Ken Rosenthal tweets that the Giants have acquired Jose Guillen from the Royals. Enrique Rojas says he'll play tonight. Smell that? Yeah...it's desperation.

So....enough of my blathering on and on....the reason I made this diary FanPost was because I can't wait for Around The Mission to get posted and I needed a place to spew my hatred for the f*cking Giants....so here it is.

Let the hate flow through you Padre fans...one reason I hate the Giants is because their TV color analyst had radical throat surgery in Nicaragua just so that he could change his voice to sound exactly like Mark Grant. True story.
