Matt Cain News

Just a reminder to post any fantasy questions you may have in the comments section of the Roundup.

Buster Posey is the reigning NL MVP after completing a season where he helped lead the San Francisco Giants to their second World Series title in three seasons.

Before the 2012 season, Tim Lincecum made a decision to reject a four year, $100 million contract extension from the San Francisco Giants and instead, opted to sign a two year, $40.5 million contract which would make him a free agent after the 2013 season.

Angel Pagan hit a tiebreaking two-run single in the sixth inning, Matt Cain settled down after a shaky start and the San Francisco Giants won their 10th straight over Colorado, rallying from a six-run deficit to beat the Rockies 8-6 on Thursday night.

None of us noticed until today that Matt Cain was not here. One of us asked manager Bruce Bochy if he was sent ahead to Denver for his Thursday night start, since the team is not expected to arrive until the wee hours of the morning.

Over the weekend, the Giants played four games against Atlanta and allowed a total of 10 runs.

That being said, we are still in the infant stage of the 2013 season. The Giants have only played 38 games out of 162.

When Matt Harvey went nine innings last Tuesday in the Mets' 1-0, 10-inning victory over the White Sox, he didn't get the win.

Their assault on Philip Humber Saturday was vicious. 2. Cardinals : Shelby Miller and Adam Wainwright completely overmatched the Rockies' lineup, and that's no easy feat.

As if the pitching needed a boost, Matt Adams is back from the disabled list. Meantime, rookie Shelby Miller retired 27 straight in a one-hitter. Over their final three games, the Giants outscored the Braves 23-4. Matt Cain, Madison Bumgarner and Tim Lincecum combined to throw 22 innings, allowing just three runs.

Already 6 games in the AL West. Cardinals - best pitching staff in the NL. The question throughout the summer is can they slow down the Reds offense that will be right on their tail.

Despite a series of close calls over the weekend, including one-hitters from St.

Just before the Giants packed and left for Canada, the good vibes from the good ol' days were back at China Basin.

Say, it's kind of tough to do one of these eight hours after the game ends. Makes you realize how quickly you stop caring about one game and start worrying about the next one.

The left-handed Bumgarner baffled the Braves, getting them to chase his fastball up in the zone and bite on curveballs in the dirt.

Shelby Miller gave up a leadoff single then retired 27 in a row for his first career complete game, leading the St.

Man, typing that is such a release. If you're new here, that first paragraph is a complete paragraph.

As young Marco Scutaro and Tim Hudson sat around the A's clubhouse in 2004 disucssing the price of oil, they might have had a good laugh had someone told them that at age 37 they would square off in the afterglow of Hudson's 200th win and Scutaro, wearing a flourescent orange top, would knock that glow right off him.

That's what the Giants are wondering after right-hander Matt Cain dazzled in his last start against the Dodgers for his first win of the season.

The Giants are known for their ability to find and develop young pitching, and Martin Agosta is just another one of these prospects.
