Somebody really wants to steal that All-Star start from Dickey.

Eight innings. Fourteen strikeouts. No baserunners.

Between Lance Lynn (7-plus, 0 runs, 3 hits, 12 K, 0 BB), Dickey, and this... it's been one hell of a night for NL pitching.

All 27 outs in 5 minutes (includes Mrs. Cain). http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?conte ... 2&c_id=mlb

Amazing. Could cost Dickey the all-star start and in the long run maybe the cy young!

Just watched a four minute replay of the the MLB app, a lot of strike outs looking, hitters didn't complain once, he was painting. One good catch by Melky at the wall in the sixth and one great running diving catch in the gap by Blanco in the seventh.

m.e.t.b.o.t. is unimpressed. had m.e.t.b.o.t. a more liberal twin, g.i.a.n.t.b.o.t., who voted for the anchor player of the game, he would only allot 1.91 anchor votes to hte san francisco giant pitcher mett cain. m.e.t.b.o.t. is a tough cookie to please, a hard nut to crack, yet an easy soda can to crush.

Last out of the game 5-3, cleanly played. How ironic to Mets fans who had hoped for that result in Dickey's game - twice. Later

Cain's 14 Ks tied Sandy Koufax for the most Ks during a perfect game. Combine that with the three foul-outs and you are left with just 10 Astros who hit a fair ball last night. The odd thing about Cain is that he's received such bad run support over the years out in San Fran that last night's win pushed his career mark only to 77-75 despite a 3.28 ERA and 1.17 WHiP The list of eleven pitchers draft ahead of Cain (25th overall out of HS in Tennessee) in the 2002 draft Three are currently ML starters 1st overall pick) Pirates: Bryan Bullington, RHP, Ball State University -- 1 career win, none for Pittsburgh. Now pitching in Japan. 3) Reds: Chris Gruler, RHP, California HS -- never advanced beyond A Ball. Out of the game since 2006 4) Orioles: Adam Loewen, LHP, British Columbia HS -- Went 8-8 before injury problems forced him to try and remake himself as a position player. Currently injured up in Buffalo 5) Reds: Clint Everts, RHP, Texas HS -- Never reached the majors although still battling in AAA for the Blue Jays org. 6) Royals: Zack Greinke, RHP, Florida HS -- RoY, All-Star & CY winner. 83-75 for his career 9) Rockies: Jeff Francis, LHP, University of British Columbia -- 61-67 overall. Had several good seasons before missing more than a year w/injuries. Now back with his second stint in Colorado 12) Angels: Joe Saunders, LHP, Virginia Tech -- 8th year in ML, 5th as a regular starter. 54-32 with his original team then 19-24 since being traded. 15) Mets: Scott Kazmir, LHP, Texas HS -- Last we heard he was looking to latch on to a minor league deal 17) Phillies: Cole Hamels, LHP, California HS -- I'm sure they have no regrets 18) White Sox: Royce Ring, LHP, San Diego State University -- Probably the first reliever drafted so high, pitched 86 ML innings for 4 clubs spread over 5 years. Still slinging it with the AAA Rox 21) Cubs: Bobby Brownlee, RHP, Rutgers -- Reached AAA but never made the jump. Won 50 minor league games for four different orgs. Finished after 2009

Hey, at least we're not the only ones to whom this happens. Huff tripped over the dugout railing and landed on his knee celebrating Matt Cain’s perfect game Wednesday at AT&T Park. "He’s got a pretty good bruise in the right knee," Bochy said. "It’s a sprained right knee, PCL they call it. So I’m going to get with Brian [Sabean] now and see what we’re going to do." Huff was seen using crutches before Thursday's series finale against the Houston Astros and was picked up by his wife after the game, not joining his teammates for the trip to the airport to start a nine-game road trip.

Edgy MD Jun 15 2012 12:01 AM Re: Drama in San Francisco

Of course, Huff's been awful. Like-unfit-to-hold-Ike-Davis'-bags awful.
