GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
Interesting tidbit -- tonight, after Matt Cain struck out 10 batters en route to a win, the Giants, for the first time since they moved out to the Bay Area, have three pitchers to record 100 strikeouts before the All Star Break. Joining Cain are Tim Lincecum and Jonathan Sanchez.Sanchez, who was named the National League Player of the Week on Monday, said he and Lincecum made a friendly bet as to who would have more strikeouts at the end of the season. Sanchez said it was more of a joke, but now it appears a dark horse has entered the race with Cain on the verge of getting his 100th strikeout.Again, quite a shame that the Giants didn't have the foresight to, you know, not raid Shady Acres for the rest of the roster; they could actually be pretty freaking good if they had some offense (-43 run differential).
"We're all having fun," Sanchez said. "[Lincecum] strikes out a lot of people, but I'm close. I have to strike out 12 more, but he's going to start again before me."
Still though, they're somehow only five games back (I know, right??) of the lead in the NL West and as long as they have pitching this stout, it's kind of hard to count them out of it. Then you remember that they employ Barry Zito. And you start to count them out. Fun story though.
