Since Mike Benjamin stole the link I was going to use for the gameday thread, I'll have to use plan b:

49ers coach Mike Nolan named Joe Staley his starting right tackle Tuesday. He got the nod over incumbent Kwame Harris. Harris' roster spot may now be in jeopardy, as his salary is high and Adam Snyder can play the position if Staley fails or gets hurt. The Niners could also shop Harris for a trade.

Please excuse if reported earlier
From rotoworld:

   In an effort to keep his innings total down, the Giants are planning on skipping Tim Lincecum's next turn in the rotation.

The Giants are off Thursday, so they could wait until Sept. 4 to use Lincecum again. If they want him to go a full nine or 10 days between starts, then they'll probably give Pat Misch a spot start.

Chulkster Update
From rotoworld:

  Vinnie Chulk, who went on the DL Monday with what the Giants thought was a blood clot, actually has Buerger's Disease in his middle finger, a circulatory disorder affecting the arms and legs that can be caused partially from the use of chewing tobacco.

Athletic trainer Dave Groeschner said he and doctors are still doing some investigating to determine what course of action to take. "If he continues to use tobacco products it could be an issue that could spread to other fingers or his toes," Groeschner said.

Frandsen finally gets some consistent PT and is showing some results and he gets injured. Perfect.

Re: Open Gameday Thread, 8/28
So Durham is going to play defense?

I think it would be better to move Aurilia to 2B and bring in Klesko for 1B.  Unless Klesko PH and I missed it.

that would make way too much sense.

Klesko is defensive replacement-good at 1B.  I bet Bochy has no idea.

Oh this is stressful, even with the team out of it, because Cain needs a win.

It feels like hard booze and chain-smoking time

I'm actually not as stressed like I would be earlier in the year.  I feel like Cain has this one.

It's not a Brad Hennessey save unless if he gives up a double or a hard single.

Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.

Aurilia's right field warning track fly ball probably would have been out too, though.

Holy crap
The Orioles bullpen gave up 11 runs in one inning against the DRays today. Former Giant Burres gave up three and didn't record an out. It must suck to be an Orioles fan for the past two weeks.
