It's like the biblical story all over again, except that Abel (the offense) kills Cain, who made a better sacrifice to the baseball gods with his one-hitter than the braindead [insert ethnicity here] hitters hacking at slop nightly did.
Yet, sometimes I think it's Matt Cain who I really hate. Here I am, weaning myself off my baseball addiction with the help of a terrible Giants team, when Cain comes and reminds me why I love the game with his Cainly, one-hit magic. Then, he gets the loss. Situations like these prove how much of a microcosm of life baseball truly is—only life itself is as cruel.
Note to Dave Flemming: You jinxed Cain by referring to his no-hitter in the top of the 7th, after Duane Kuiper had carefully avoided doing that the previous inning. Don't jinx him again.
Dedicated to all who do not come in the third inning and leave in the seventh, throwing beach balls all the while, at a cookie-cutter abomination with an all-you-can-eat right field.

Giants Logo 1947-1976
The Giants' primary logo from 1947-1976 (not the one that appeared on the front of the uniforms). A relic of the Horace Stoneham era, when the Giants were truly great.
