At least they're currently behind the Giants. That probably won't last, but we should enjoy it while it lasts.

I think we sweep
With Cain, Lincecum, and Sanchez pitching, I think we sweep. Maybe I’m too optimistic.
Riddle:
I wear blue and white, I arrive to baseball games in the 4th inning, I leave in the 7th inning, my team's home stadium plays movie trailers between innings, I read magazines during the game, I play with beach balls, and I love the wave.
Who am I?
“Maybe I’m too optimistic.”
You’re still a Giants fan, aren’t you?

If that happens, I see Cain rushing out of the dugout like a Bull to force Zito onto the DL.

That's just it
They have been waiting for him to exorcise the Zito plague
Zito will of course come back from the DL in CY Young form since the tackle by Cain disloged the sucking virus from Zito’s arm.

Who's taking Zito's spot in rotation?
I know Misch got called up for Correria’s spot for time being but havent heard who will get Zito’s turn in rotation. Any updates on Lowry recently havent heard anything for a week or so/
4 man rotation
Giants the quickest team in history to go from a possible six man rotation to a four man rotation, including a recent call up.

Because he's left handed
And no lefty has ever gotten a hit against a lefty pitcher in the entire history of baseball. That’s a fact. Look it up.

By the way, I take back my sweep prediction after seeing tonight’s lineup. Too much veteran savvy. Why no Velez?? He’s a switch hitter. Why no Lewis?? As well as he’s playing does Bochy really want to platoon him??

Excuse my ignorance
If Misch was called up after Correia went to the DL and Zito is moving to the pen, isn’t that only four starters? Do we not need a fifth for a while?
"Candlestick made me a man." - Will Clark
I think we have a lot of days off coming up, so the need for a fifth starter in the immediate future isn’t as great.
I believe May 10th is the next time they need a fifth starter.

he just doesn’t seem to be improving. From what I have seen, he is the same pitcher he was last year. Iffy control, hard to hit, for the most part, lot of potential but not realizing it.

As much as I once liked Aurilia, I’m kind of past the point of no return with him. Every time he doesn’t suck just seems like an excuse for Bochy to keep him in the lineup that much longer.
its just a damn shame we resigned him
i had such fond memories of him in his first tenure. He was my Dad’s favorite Giant for a while. Now I drag his name through the mudd along with people like Ricky Ledee

Cain just doesn't pitch deep enough into games
The pen has more of an ‘opportunity’ to blow his games.
Cain is in need of some actual, bona fide coaching. His approach has gotten worse each year. He gets ahead of hitters, then proceeds to nibble his way to a 3-2 count, followed by a walk or a lot of foul balls.
That's all I can stands, I can't stands no more!
if he could cut his fastball a bit more i think he'd have one.

Heck, even Neifi hit over .300 at Coors, so I imagine you’d hit .350.

i kind of am, but when you think about it
he did a great job by allowing all that, he just needs some work on his pitch count
"...and Bocock is in the whole"
I am – 108 pitches in 5 1/3? I wasn’t watching (I AM STILL WORKING DAMN IT), but it seems as if he is trying to be super, super perfect because he is deathly afraid of allowing even a single run
