…. Painful

Is there a worse successful closer? Wilson came into that game last night, and as far as I was concerned, he was just as likely to walk two guys and give up a three-run homer as he was to get the save. 100-MPH fastball and all, he is so unpredictable, so wild, that I can't help feeling that he will eventually blow the game that derails this season.

It would be nice to know that we will have a game that actually determines whether we make the playoffs or not, but man, I sure would've preferred Cain just go the distance last night.

As for Cain, he's pitching himself right into the C

y Young Award argument. 12-2 for a team that is just shy of last in runs scored in all of baseball? Talk about karma, Cain is basically getting all of the las two seasons worth this year.

…. Cain was outstanding again as he lowered his overall ERA to 2.27 and his July Era to 1.23 in five starts. Remarkably, Cain has allowed one or no earned runs in 12 of his 15 starts dating to a May 7 win here.

That should've been a shutout last night, in Coors field, no less. Lewis horribly misplayed that ball, a tough but fairly routine fly ball that he turned into a double.

That must be kind of defense Dunn plays. ;-)

Still could use a bat, there, Brian.

    How much can the nationals really want for stinkin’ adam dunn? Lewis is 28 we know what kind of player he is. Acquiring dunn gives us a boost this year and the giants shouldn’t have to give up elite prospects to get him. Maybe the nats are asking too much?

    I would put Cain in the top three pitchers currently in the discussion for NL Cy Young, with the others being Haren and Lincecum. Given voters preference for wins over other stats, he may even be at #1 right now. Even though its a long way off, he could also become the the first NL Cy Young Award winner to win 20 games with an ERA under 2.30 since Greg Maddux in 1992.
