my boy matt cain is going to be tremendous! i am so psyched. tonight he did something king felix hasn't done, throw a complete game. here's his line:
9 IP, 2 H, 1 R (HR by D. Lee), 1 BB, 8 K's, and a meager 105 pitches, 77 of them being strikes.

we won 2-1, and the stadium was going nuts. One rookie got the hit to put us ahead, and the rookie phenom finished it off. He was throwing 93-96 all night, with a 87-90 mph slider, and and 80-82 mph curveball. his 4th pitch is his changeup, but he doesn't throw it much, cause it could use a little work. overall he's been amazing! his 1st start was 5 IP, 2 ER, and he threw 103 pitches. his 2nd start was 7 IP, 1 ER, and 101 pitches, w/ 4 K's. and then he had that great game tonight. it's finally the giants turn to have a rookie phenom in the spotlight.

I was reading up on him in Baseball America's new prospect book with Delmon Young on the cover. Sounds like a future superstar. I just wish Homer Bailey and Travis Wood would get up to Cincy ASAP!!! It's been too long since this team has had an ace.

i don't think bailey will be up anytime soon. it sounds like he's got a long way to go.

I like what the Giants are doing. They've really invested a lot in young pitching, Cain, Hennessey, Valdez, Corriea, etc., and they've laid the foundation for their team for a long time. This was an organization that was in desperate need of an infusion of young talent.

lowry, munter, accardo, taschner, just to name some more. as for valdez, i have a bad feeling that he won't turn out to be great. he hasn't pitched in a couple months due to some kind of arm injury.

I can't believe I forgot Lowry. He's blown up in the second-half.
