I'm laughing at all you suckers who watched yesterday's game. I was at the Baby Giants game!
That game was also terrible.
How does Pence hit (very) high fastballs? By practicing...
If you'll think back to Saturday's Giants game and remember The Only Good Thing That Happened, you might be wondering, "How did that happen?" Because that fastball that Hunter Pence homered on was at his eyes, and not even the freakish reflexes of his people can wholly account for that thing going out. So how does he do it?

At least, I hope they're dulcet. I don't technically know what dulcet means, other than it being what you say about someone with a nice voice, so I'm like 80% sure it fits here.
What Baseball's Most Famous Brawl Photo Didn't Show You
This is an excellent story from Deadspin about the Roseboro-Marichal fight, and how John Roseboro wasn't quite the innocent that picture would have you believe. Despite that, Marichal was obviously wrong to hit Roseboro with a baseball bat, which he later recognized, and they became friends, proving that friendship can overcome obstacles like assault with a bat or, even more impressively, a rivalry to which we as fans attach arbitrary importance.
