To this day, scientists are unsure of why Randys breach, but they do know that it's darn ugly to watch.

To this day, scientists are unsure of why Randys breach, but they do know that it's darn ugly to watch.


I believe they should just call this game, so everyone can go home and enjoy the rest of the night as they bask in the history of Randy Johnson's 300th game. And give Cain 10 bonus wins.

I’ll bet even the Nationals don’t want this game to continue.

I imagine once you get in the clubhouse and get dried off and warmed up, the last thing you want to do is go out in the rain again.

they must have not been in the east bay

We sure had them here in Sac. We were awake from about 11pm to 3am. Everytime you’d drift off to sleep there’d be a loud crack of thunder.

We had some yesterday as well.

I have many relatives in the eastern time zone. One of my uncles was a firefighter and he’d go on and on about how terrible the fire fighters must be in California, because our summer fires can get so big. They just can’t comprehend that it doesn’t rain here for 4-5 months out of the year. No precipitation at all for weeks and weeks on end isn’t something they’ve ever experienced.

Also 60% chance of rain.

After the Giants score their 3 runs in the top of the ninth I’m going to bed, he can watch Wilson the aggravating on his own.

Balls of fire indeed, I wouldn’t want to be teabagged by Cain.

But then again, I wouldn’t want to be teabagged ever period.

Cain should be a lock to be the Giants rep in the All Star Game. Hope he doesn’t pitch. We all know what happens to Giants starters in All Star games.

Baggs: Cain is taking Monday's Start
There will be Cain information and a brief Game 2 writeup in the notes, but I’ll let you know now that he threw 82 pitches and the Giants plan to bring him back on short rest Monday at Florida, thus sparing them from calling up Billy Sadler or someone else.

So does that mean that it’s gonna go Lincecum, Cain, Johnson, Zito, Sanchez now? R, R, L, L, L order?

U, U, D, D, L, R, L, R, B, A, Start order, if you want to get technical.
