Rich Aurilia lined a go-ahead two-run double to center field in the eighth inning, and the Giants rallied to beat the Washington Nationals 6-4 Wednesday night. The Giants' Aaron Rowand delivers an RBI double in the first inning.

I like the chances that the Giants will have above-average players in left field (Fred Lewis) and center (Aaron Rowand) for the next couple of seasons. If Lewis doesn’t pickle your ginger, then maybe you have an affinity for John Bowker or Nate Schierholtz. At the very least, based on the players currently in the Giants’ control, I sincerely doubt there will be two gaping holes in left and center...

I'm not exactly an authority on grit, but it was about time someone named an All-Grit Team . All-Star Week seemed appropriate.

I want to promote Aaron Rowand for the final All-Star spot. I really do. A centerfielder who hits .299/.364/.460 while playing good defense is a valuable player. An All-Star, even. MLB.com even provides little widgets for sites like this to promote Rowand. Lookie here: Fancy. Except Rowand just had a terrible June (.225/.275/.343). And his defense doesn’t bring me lemonade on a hot day. It’s fine...

Well, that one might be shown as a future episode of Phillies Classics. The rain didn't really show up (I had visions of Gavin Floyd, Xavier Nady and Aaron Rowand), but neither did the Mets' bats. Johan Santana showed up all right, pitching a dazzling game ... with the exception of that sixth inning. For all his wonderfulness, Johan seems to have these occasional mini-Leiter episodes, two-batter or...
