If Lincicum would pitch better, they'd have Cain and Abel.

Bumgarner is pitching pretty good and, at 22, might end up being the best of the trio.

I just wish I lived closer to the city so that weekday games weren't out of the question. We'd probably gone and still had season tix.

I was lucky enough to see Cain's near perfect game earlier this season (Giants home opener). The only hit he gave up was to the opposing pitcher in the top of the 6th.

Does Fox and TBS show anyone other than the Yankees, Mets or Red Sox?

dickey is out of control right now. the hardest pitch to hit in baseball is a knuckleball. the problem is that most knuckleballers dont have "it" all the time. dickey has had his A+ knuckleball for some time and if he keeps it up, he will have one of the best seasons ever by a pitcher. historic.

Unless it is thrown by Tim Wakefield.

So did anyone care about the Clemens trial?

Not one bit. After the mistrial the 1st time, it was hard to convict him the second time around.

And I guess the better question is, does this change your mind about him using steroids?

I say this, it doesn't change my mind if he used or not. Do I think Roger used, hell yeah he did. Will we ever know the truth, I don't think so.

Also in my honest opinion, I think he gets in the Hall.

I'm the same way. He probably used, but its gonna be tough to prove.

I dunno if he gets in right away, but I think most of the Steroids Era guys will get in at some point.

The only ones that won't get in are McGuire and Palmeiro(sp?). Also do you think A-Rod gets in after it's all said and done with him? The problem with these guys getting in are when did they juice? Do you take their pre-steroid numbers over their numbers when they alleged used steroids? I know Tim K. from ESPN said he voted for McGuire, and Palmeiro this morning and he's part of the old school guard of the HoF.

I don't think McGwire and Palmerio will get in, too many questions there. But I think Bonds, A-Rod, and Clemens will all be in eventually. Even if they did juice, I still think their numbers before/after would warrant a HoF nod.

At first it is funny, but then you start to think there may have been something wrong. Just like that LA reporter from last year.

Zoltan!!!!

Francisco Liriano is throwing two pitches, one low 90s, one low 80s that are breaking HARD away from RH hitters. What are they?? Is it just the movement on his fastball? And maybe some kind of split?

I don't know that I've ever seen a LHP with that kind of right to left break on hard stuff.

And WHAT a grab by Denard Span. Prevented a bases-clearing double by Barajas. Saved the game maybe with what ended up being just a tying sac-fly.
