Giants fans might be interested in the following auction of Giants
memorabilia this Saturday.  Rocket Dog is a great non-profit that saves
dogs from kill situations (often shelters) and places them in good
homes. 

I happen to know the way they get the Giants stuff is that one of the
benefactors is cousins with the Giants&#39; equipment manager Mike Murphy,
so the Giants donate these items and Mike acquires the autographs
himself.  As such, there is no authentication... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ There&#39;s talk about trading a top pitcher for a power hitter and/or signing a free agent who can provide a needed bat.  The chances of finding somebody who
can provide the needed power at ATT Park is a bit dubious.  Let&#39;s apply a bit of Billy Beane logic and take another look at John Bowker.
<br>
<br>
Looking back to 2007 (at Connecticut - AA) and 2008 (at Giants and Connecticut), one of Bowker&#39;s problems was that his strike zone was lacking.  At
