Maddy Surprisingly Wins
The Giants got a victory today with Madison Bumgarner on the mound. Unlikely, I know, but it happened. Yeah, Maddy had to be good, holding the Mets to 1 run to do it, and the relief had to be tight enough not to let it slip away. Outside of Madison, it was a bunch of rooks. Joaquin Arias and Hector Sanchez scored, Juan Perez and Ehire Adrianza got rbis. Madison went 7, struck out 10 (!) and allowed 4 hits. Jean Machi threw up 0's with 1 K for in the 8th and, after a Santiago Casilla out and BB, Javier Lopez chalked up the save. Giants again take a series. Too bad they couldn't have started doing this much, much earlier. And guess who clinched a division? That's right.......Boston.

Madison has given us 200 innings this year and is one short of 200 K.
Cain would have 25 more wins had he been drafted by the Yankees. Maybe not two WS rings, but a lot more wins, and people would be talking about a hall of fame career. With the giants, he is lucky to just be a 500 pitcher. So unfair.
Bumgarner is a beast. With Cain back on track, that righty-lefty 1-2 punch is pretty awesome. Keep Timmy in the fold and 2014 looks better all the time.
Check this out, especially at about the 1 hour, 5 minute point - you can practically hear Mark screaming from the ensuing beat down:

I have found the greatest YouTube channel ever (ClassicMLB11). They have tons of complete game broadcasts, plus other items. Here's another great one that I remember very well. I remember talking to this guy several times:
