Too late, can't get 100 losses now no matter what we do

Hope all has been well folks. Been awhile. Thought I'd check in to to pay my respects to Matt Cain. Hell of a Giant.

No matter how bad it's gotten, I'll still miss seeing him pitch.

Hey Filo, ltns.

Welcome back!

Hey Filo, ltns.

Welcome back!

Hey Cal, almost surreal to think this is the last time we'll see Cain pitch. I remember when he was just an upstart yute (for ColinCoby).

Any chance you stick around?

13 years is a short career for someone with the accolades of a Matt Cain. And he isn’t what, 32?

Ridiculous that his career is over.

1-0 good guys because of Pence's hustle.

(Still catching up)

What's up msg? Probably not as a regular, but I will try and pop in here and there.

Hope you and your family are well.

If memory serves me correctly.....you should be getting lucky today sometime during/after the game.....

Truth, but there's a lot of miles on that arm. A lot of long Octobers (can't complain) and a lot of high stress innings too.

Rather have him retire in the orange and black then go try and revive somewhere else. Can't lie tho, wish he'd try a John Smoltz-esque ending first.

filo! Cain retires and you decide to show up. Nice to have you back, at least for today. Its not the same without you posting regularly.
Edit': C'mon Bochy! You are Caining Cain!

 

[LHG]

Phew! Boch left him in (for now).

Well, it's not automatic LOL. I hope you didn't jinx 'em...

Seriously, where can you post that's better than this? You should hang here more.

 

[msgkings322]

I think that was partly to get the crowd into it even more.

I doubt Cain goes more than 5.

Considering this is his 1st game in a month, you are very correct.

hey LHG! Will enjoy this one regardless of outcome.

Good to "see" you guys.

 

[msgkings322]

Curtain call. I've got something in my eye...

 

[Stokes1931]

Five innings of shutout ball by Cain. He's at 73 pitches (Noggin said he'd go 60-70 pitches)

Does he pitch the sixth?
