    In semi-related, fictional news...in MLB '09 The Show, my RTTS character caught up with the real life schedule (AA still). The headlines read:

    Giants lose final game of the series to Phillies and fall back in wild card race. Giants now trial Colorado by 2 in the Wild Card race and the Dodgers by 5 games in the West.

    I thought that was cool, and little scary.
    Man I miss playing that game. My PS3 got the "YLOD" and haven't had the $$$ to grab another one. Anyways, let's hope your RTTS character goes on a tear, gets called up to the Show, and the Giants go on a hot streak and make the playoffs! If that translates over to real life that would be scary...lol

      Lol.. I was scared to start playing again because they were doing so well on the home stand. But temptation got the best of me. So when they swept the Rockies, I had to play at least one game before the real game as a stupid superstitious good luck ritual.

      God I hate baseball .

        I thought Penny would be a good pick up. Not too much pressure being a number 5 starter. I really like our rotation.

          yup penny really showed me something tonite. I was hoping for 5 innings and maybe a run or two but to get this kind of outing was really unbelievable, here's hoping he can sort of keep it up.

          I'm also hoping to see a Lincecum Posey battery soon.

            Nice pickup game. I was hoping to see Posey in a Pinch though. I had a gut feeling Uribe was going yard. When he swings it's all or nothing.

            It's a sweet matchup tonight. I'm excited about this one.

              Our offense is costing Timmy the Cy Young.

              They keep giving Lewis chances that have failed every time.

                    I was bored...Watching Matt Cain the past couple years and the horrendous run support and luck he got has made me hate that the won/loss record is SUCH a huge factor in Cy Young voting and all around. Cain finally got run support this year (well the first half at least). Here are several interesting things:

                    Wins in games pitcher was losing when removed but offense scored that inning to give them the win.
                    Carpenter 2
                    Wainwright 0
                    Lincecum 0
                    Cain 0
                    Cain08 0
                    Cain07 0

                    Wins in games pitcher was tied when removed but offense scored that inning to give them the win.
                    Carpenter 0
                    Wainwright 2
                    Lincecum 0
                    Cain 0
                    Cain08 0
                    Cain07 0

                    No decisions in games pitcher was winning when removed but bullpen blew it.
                    Carpenter 1

                    PS: Cain's month of April from '07:
                    5 GS, 35 IP, 12 H, 6 ER, 17 BB, 23 K
                    1 Win 1 Loss 3 No Decisions...ridiculous

                      I was waiting for Posey to come off the bench. At least we can hope for the best with him and chalk it up to nerves if he didn't come through. When Fred stepped up I hoped for an error at best and got what was expected, a fielders choice.

                        I think this year will still be close. Carpenter came back from injury and really stepped up for STL so you got to give him that. Lincecum and Cain are both in the running, and I agree that W-L record should not have so much merit in the Cy Young voting as much as dominating stuff.

                        It's like the Gold Glove award now. Batting and popularity seem to play a role with that award.

                            Cain hasn't won in 7 consecutive starts.. longest in his career. It's crazy that he hasn't won since june 24th. His career stats vs MIL aren't so good either. Maybe this is when it changes.

                              there is no way that cain and lincecem or zito for that matter should have as few a victories as they do, come on guys lets start hitting,lol. I do like the idea of sandoval starting at 1st (as was stated by bochy last nite), move uribe to third and sanchez at 2nd when he comes back should help greatly with the offence.

                                Randy Winn...you are better than that...horrible at-bat right there when gallardo was struggling with his command.

                                btw Cain has twice had 8 start winless streaks in his career so this is not his longest although after today it will probably tie for his longest.
