A HUUUUUGGGEEE Series This Weekend

Tonight begins the real test of the Giants' 11-game road trip: 4 games in Denver against a Colorado Rockies team that has been red-hot ever since Jim Tracy took over as manager. The last time the Giants were in Denver, aside from Matt Cain's superb outing, they had no chance against the Rockies. However, yesterday's egg against Cincinnati makes it doubly important for the Giants to AT LEAST split the 4 games with Colorado, maybe even win 3 out of 4. Thus, Jonathan Sanchez's start tonight is crucial. His last two outings on the road (Houston and New York) have been fantastic, and hopefully he can repeat himself against the Rockies tonight. However, both the Astros and Mets do not feature the thump and balance of the Rockies. The Giants have demonstrated resiliency all year, and this weekend would be a perfect time to show it again.
