Manny And Company Rough Up The Freak In Opening Day Win





San Francisco, CA - This game was a good one for the Dodgers. It wasn't such a good one for Tim Linecum. Linecum was cruised through the first 5 innings, where he had a no-hitter going. He faced trouble in the 6th. He allowed 5 runs in the 5th and 2 more in the 6th. During these two innings, he allowed homers to Manny Ramirez, Russell Martin and Casey Blake.

Chad Billingsley pitched well for the Dodgers, as he only allowed 2 runs in 6 innings of work. The Giant almost came back in the 9th inning. They scored 2 runs in the 9th, as Aaron Rowand and Travis Ishikawa both had RBI Singles. Rich Aurilia came into pinch-hit with two men on base and two men out. Aurilia had the chance to tie the game up with one swing of the bat, but instead, he flied out to end the game.

Great win man! You owned Lincecum, lol.

I love how MVP just generates the box score. Definitely makes things easier, and it's real clean! Hope you keep this up man.

Lulz. I'm the Giants, but yeah I like how MVP has their box scores. It's real easy to read. Thanks for checking in.

But yeah it definitely convenient.

Haha. All good man.

Lulz at ManRoid's face, looks like a zombie

Lol. Manny does look scary. I lol'd at "ManRoid". Remember, it was only a "sexual enhancement" supplement. Haha.

[Mit]

I took a page out of your book for presentation, Mike. Hopefully you don't mind. If you do, I can always change it.

Wolf Outduels The Big Unit To Down Giants



Manny Ramirez and co. celebrate here after their victory against the Giants.

San Francisco, CA - Randy Johnson is making his way to 300, but today was not his day. Today was about Randy Wolf. Wolf looked like an ace more than "The Big Unit" did. Wolf had 7 easy innings of work, as he only ran his pitch count to 52 pitches.

Orlando Hudson did damage in the game. The game was tied 1 to 1 in the 6th inning. Randy Johnson gave Hudson a fastball inside and Hudson drove it to the stands for a homer. That would eventually be the game-winner. In the 9th, Rich Aurilia had a chance, for the second straight game, to tie the game up. Aurilia flied out to end the game. Jonathan Broxton picked up his first save of the season and the Dodgers are riding a modest two-game winning streak.

Cain Pitches Well In First Giants Win Of Season



Manny Ramirez grounds out to end the game; the Giants finally picked up their first win.

San Francisco, CA - Matt Cain was on absolute fire in this game. He led the San Francisco Giants to their first victory on the 2009 season. Cain didn't just pitch well, but he was also 1 for 3 from the plate with an RBI single. The other pitcher on the mound was Hiroki Kuroda, who didn't pitch too bad himself. He allowed 3 runs in 6 innings. All 3 of the runs that Kuroda allowed came in the 5th inning. Travis Ishikawa singled home Aaron Rowand. Emmanuel Burriss tripled home Travis Ishikawa; Matt Cain singled home Emmanuel Burriss.

Cain shut the Dodgers down. He pitched 8 innings of shutout baseball, while only giving up 4 hits and striking out 6. Brian Wilson came in the game and had a 1-2-3 inning and got the save.

Matt Cain commented on his performance after the game, "I felt great on the mound. I was having a lot of fun and because of that, I pitched well. I'm glad we finally picked up our first one. Tim struggled in his first start and Randy had no offense. I want to say that our offense does need to pick it up. We have only scored 8 runs in 3 games. That's not that great. If we want to win games, our batting must back up our pitching".
