Major League Baseball suspended Philadelphia’s Shane Victorino for three games in the wake of Friday night’s fracas, but the Giants basically got away scot-free. Pitcher Ramon Ramirez and catcher Eli Whiteside received undisclosed fines — as did the Phillies’ Placido Polanco. Victorino will reportedly appeal. Pablo Sandoval received no penalties, and at least as far as can be determined nor did Giants players on the DL on the field supposedly in violation of Rule 3.17: “Disabled players are not allowed to enter the playing surface at any time or for any purpose during the game.” Both Pat Burrell and Barry Zito were on the field.

Carlos Beltran is out of the lineup tonight with the wrist injury he suffered Sunday. No word yet on how long it may keep him out.

Here’s tonight’s lineup against the Pirates behind RHP Charlie Morton (8-6). Unlike Philly, which came to town riding a six-game winning streak, Pittsburgh has lost 10 in a row.

CF Torres, 2B Keppinger, 3B Sandoval, 1B Huff, RF Schierholtz, SS Cabrera, LF Rowand, C Whiteside, P Vogelsong




"The Giants should appeal Zito’s non-suspension. Given the seriousness of the violation, I think a 50-game suspension is appropriate."


damn that had me rollin' hahaha

JC: Thing you miss most about playing for Chicago?

Rowand: Wearing the road uniform. And you know why? Because it said ‘Chicago’ across the front. I got goose bumps every time I would put it on.

JC: Not so with San Francisco?

Rowand: [Pause] Let’s talk about the Bears again.

my only problem with this win is that we are too excited. We are supposed to beat the pirates. EVERY time we play them. Thats what Championship teams do. We have an easier home stand coming up after this road trip. I totally hope we hit the gas peddle and create some separation between us and Arizona.....

honestly think we will take the division, but as far at creating separation I don't see it happening. If by serparation you mean 4 games then we will create some. More than that i don't see it happening.
