Augusta comes from behind, but the ‘pen falters late and the winning streak comes to an end. Connecticut walks off with a victory, and San Jose gets a solid pitching performance and some timely hitting. Just Another action-packed Day in the Minors! http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/649473.html 2047 Erik Egan http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/649473.html Wed, 06 Jun 2007 16:14:00 GMT 0 316 San Francisco sfgiants Somebody forgot to tell San Jose that it’s not football season yet, as the pitching staff surrenders two touchdowns in a third straight loss. Fresno’s bullpen falters for the second consecutive day, while Augusta’s star closer blows his first save. Connecticut’s bats finally wake up, but the pitching staff is missing in action. Just Another not-so-memorable Memorial Day in the Minors! http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/647299.html 2047 Erik Egan http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/647299.html Tue, 29 May 2007 04:51:00 GMT 0 316 San Francisco sfgiants Augusta needs every win they can get in their tight division race. Fresno, meanwhile, implodes upon itself in a rare meltdown, while San Jose can't hold on to its own lead. And can Connecticut score? It's Just Another Day in the Minors! http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/647168.html 2047 Kevin J. Cunningham http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/647168.html Mon, 28 May 2007 15:33:00 GMT 0 316 San Francisco sfgiants Shoddy defense and a bullpen implosion for the second straight day lead to another ugly loss for Augusta. Timely defensive miscues by the opposition and stout pitching propel Connecticut to victory. Ray gets rocked in San Jose, and Fresno splits a twin-bill. Just Another up-and-down Day in the Minors! http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/644332.html 2047 Erik Egan http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/644332.html Wed, 16 May 2007 07:18:00 GMT 0 316 San Francisco sfgiants Team batting seems to be heading in the right direction, team pitching stumbles on the week, and team standing hits rock bottom. http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/644177.html 2047 Kris Neild http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/644177.html Tue, 15 May 2007 19:55:00 GMT 1 316 San Francisco sfgiants Lincecum's promoted. So is Frandsen and Ortmeier. There's a top spot up for grabs, and three new spots available at least on this week's Heat Rankings. So who has moved up? How have injuries affected this list? And most importantly, who's the top dog now that "The Franchise" is in the bigs? http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/643305.html 2047 Kevin J. Cunningham http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/643305.html Fri, 11 May 2007 17:59:00 GMT 1 316 San Francisco sfgiants Throughout the system, pitching staffs underwent some changes. Changes in roles, returns from injury, and, for now, it seems like they're working. The winning teams are still winning, and Connecticut... well, um, they're still playing.

It doesn't cost everyone a win, but it comes close. Plus, the hot hitters and cold pitchers might surprise you.

Cunningham http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/641876.html Sun, 06 May 2007 08:44:00 GMT 0 316 San Francisco sfgiants Fresno’s bullpen nearly implodes before a former big-league reliever saves the day, while Augusta goes extra innings to get back in the win column. Connecticut’s bats rally late, but it’s not enough, and San Jose drops a tough one. Just Another mixed bag Day in the Minors! http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/641191.html 2047 Erik Egan http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/641191.html Thu, 03 May 2007 06:30:00 GMT 0 316 San Francisco sfgiants Nothing but bad weather happened in Fresno.
