After he won the trophy for most inspirational Giant, he hit one of the strangest homers ever — first use of instant replay at a Mays Field game. Fleming and Kuiper were pretty funny about it: “It really messes up your home run call.” “You say ‘It’s a single off the wall’ and 10 minutes later ‘It’s outta here!’” It tied the game …

Some concepts in the world get examined by humans, tested and then logical conclusions can be reached. The ground shakes because giant plates of rock are moving under the earth’s surface. Smoking give you lung cancer. Ingesting too much cholesterol increases your risk for a heart attack. These things have been shown by the formulation [...]

New Rule, for the love of god stop playing Rich Aurilia. I don’t care if he has great career numbers against Randy Johnson, he looks completely done and after last season, who could argue the opposite? Aurilia [...]
Giants 5, D-Backs 4: Watching on the free MLB.tv tonight, I saw two of the best at-bats I’d seen all year. First was Bengie Molina in the seventh inning. One out, a run already in, and the go-ahead run on…

Mike Krukow said before tonight’s game that he expected Tim Lincecum either to get rocked in the first inning of his major league debut or to strike out the side on nine pitches.
