Actually, in three years in Chicago, I went to 6 Wrigley games – when the Cubs were playing the Giants, they were 3-0. When they were playing other teams, the Cubs were 0-3.

If the future of your organization, a young pitcher with some of the best stuff in the game, was throwing his fastball 5-6 mph below his normal speed and couldn’t hit his spots…would you leave him in the game? Just saying, it’d be nice to see him not throw 5000 pitches today.

How many pitches in that inning – like 8? Just what Lincecum needed after that last inning.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that pie > cake, that Bochy is endowed by his creator with certain undeniable traits, that among these are veteran man-love, a gigantic skull, and the pursuit of the double switch.

Actually, it was six. And Lincecum had half of them.

Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??
