No shutout for you, Redlegs!

Yes, I'm old enough to remember when the Reds and Redlegs names were interchangeable. Anti-Commie dingbats in the 50s demanded that the Reds change their name -- ergo, the Redleg usage. Pretty stupid. I read somewhere where someone said as much on the order of  "we had the name first ... let them change their name"

Anyhow, the Giants have now gone through 17 games without getting shutout. They did lose 9-2 but Posey pounded a 2-run shot in the 9th. Matt Cain pitched decently, according to Raising (Matt) Cain. But Dan Otero was pretty dismal, even hitting Joey Votto...which led to someone throwing at Posey, who then hit a HR.

Readers may be aware that I despise Sanctimonoious Dingbat Steve Garvey. But even I was impressed at how he often blasted a pitch after being thrown at.
