--OF Randy Winn hit his 300th career double in the fifth inning and extended his hitting streak to 11 games. Winn is batting .373 this month and has hit in 13 of 14 games in May.
--SS Omar Vizquel has appeared in 2,577 games at shortstop and needs just seven more to tie Luis Aparicio (2,583) for most games at shortstop all-time. On Thursday, Vizquel passed Tim Raines and moved into seventh on the all-time hit list for switch hitters, with 2,606. He went hitless on Friday.
--LHP Jonathan Sanchez has held opponents to three earned runs or less in 12 of his 17 career starts, including seven this season. He allowed five hits and two runs in 6 2/3 innings Friday, but he failed to collect a win for the fourth consecutive start. Friday was the fourth time this season the Giants have failed to score while he's on the mound.
--LHP Alex Hinshaw made his second big-league appearance and struck out the only man he faced, getting Jim Thome swinging in the ninth on Friday. Hinshaw, 25, was activated when Merkin Valdez went on the DL earlier this week.
--2B Ray Durham had three hits to lift his average to .292. He has appeared in four consecutive games after making just three pinch-hit appearances the previous eight games because of a hamstring strain. He's 20 for his last 54 (.370).
BY THE NUMBERS 91-85 -- Giants' interleague record through 2007, one of just seven NL teams above .500 in interleague history.
QUOTE TO NOTE "I was kidding with him that he must have had No. 25 on his back." -- Manager Bruce Bochy on Omar Vizquel, who drew three intentional walks for the first time in his career. Barry Bonds wore No. 25.

With the Yankees losing Posada, I would think Bengie Molina would be on their radar.
If they are interested, we should demand they take Zito and we would pay half his contract. If they are willing to take Zito, I dont care what we get in return.&nbs
Sabean, nice job getting rid of Ray and his 7.5 million. Now we just need to dump Visquel and Roberts combined 11.5 million and we will really have something.
If we can rid ourselves of these salaries and not finish in the cellar it will be a good year.
Jack Tashener, Pat Misch, Backup catcher for Molina and Castillo for Greg Dobbs, I think that is his name, backup 3rd base for Feliz and one of the Phillie catchers
This helps the Phillies out with pitching and some backup for their loss at 3rd base an

I know pitching is not a pressing need, but NY Yankee needs a SP badly after Wang got injured. I'm not sure if Yankee will bite, but I'd love to have this guy. Wang is currently on DL and probably will not be able to pitch until next yr. He's 28 and had won 19 games in the past 2 seasons. Our pitchers are so young, perhpas getting Wang will give us more exper
