What's more notable is, it's the first in Giants history. Think about that for a while. Over 120 years of great pitchers - Christy Mathewson, Carl Hubbell, Juan Marichal, Amose Rusie, Joe McGinnity, Gaylord Perry, Rube Marquard - and the Giants didn't have a single pitcher throw a perfect game before last night.
He has to be one of the most deserving guys ever. For starters, he's a nice guy that people love around the clubhouse. Cain has also been one of the league's best pitchers for years, but his record looks awful do to nonexistent run support. I don't know how many times he's pitched 7+ innings and lost 1-0, or 2-1. Lincecum is the one with all the fame and accolades (and he truly earned them), so it was nice to see Cain get the spotlight for once.
I'm also excited that the Giants finally hit some homers at AT&T Park. That was getting embarrassing.

How many years was Burnitz the only Brewer at the ASG?
Like the NHL does (and NFL, but no one gives a shit about the pro-bowl)? It would be horrible. Especially since there's always politics involved in picking the teams anyway.
So? When it's 100F or more out, and you're one of the million or so still without power since Friday, where are *you* gonna be?
Plus... it's Houston.
Listen, Mets fans. Yes, Wright probably should have started. And you could make a case for Dickey being the starting pitcher. Okay. Fine. But those are relatively minor snubs, especially compared to those deserving players who weren't even selected for the team.
There was absolutely no reason to lose your shit like that.
The fans that started a petition to have Sandoval removed from the game? Go fuck yourselves. The writer on Bleacher Report who called Sandoval "the slowest player in MLB" and kept calling him "Fatty"? You can go fuck yourself too. The twits that trolled SF Giants message boards, talking about how Cain was overrated and didn't deserve to be on the team? The same guys who hoped someone from the AL would break Buster Posey's leg again because he didn't deserve to be there? Guess what, you can fuck right off.
Something about the All-Star game brings out the worst in baseball fans.
Having said that, I was happy to see the Giants play so well on the national stage. It was a fun game (on mute, since those announcers are brain dead).

If that man ever gets to close another game, I will personally drive over to the stadium and smack Bochy upside the head. They need to limit Casilla to the 8th inning or earlier, and make Romo the closer. This shit is getting ridiculous. He's blown 4 of his last 5 save opportunities! At what point do you realize he isn't the guy?
And fuck you, Brian Wilson's elbow. Way to be selfish.
