Congratulations to the Giants and Hamilton
Congratulations to the Giants on FINALLY beating Kershaw. Posey had commented at the Town Hall Meeting that he wanted a piece of Kershaw and the Giants owed him. Looks like they starting collecting today. It is also very nice to FINALLY see a game without any errors by the Giants.
It is also great to see that Josh Hamilton hit four homeruns and a double.

Matt Cain
I primarily want Matt Cain to sign an extension to his contract because I want him to remain a Giant. He’s a good pitcher and the Giants need him. But a part of me is also looking forward to not having the baseball portion of my Twitter timeline being taken up by an infinite number of articles that simply repeat that he hasn’t signed the extension.
It will be nice to see articles...

The TimLincecum twitter account has been confirmed... →
It is real and he is also the one posting to it. (So we should be spared the weird third person Tweets on the @BusterPosey Twitter account) I just checked and he has 11,056 followers. That was fast.
The article also has a list of other players with Twitter accounts… and I don’t think there is any doubt that Crawford, Romo, Affeldt, etc are doing their own Tweets.
