And That Happened

Posted by Craig Calcaterra
Giants 7, Cardinals 1: Apart from the Angel Pagan homer the Giants dinked and dunked their way to the win in Game 2.  The biggest story of the game, however, was the b.s. takeout slide of Marco Scutaro by Matt Holliday in the first inning. No word yet on how bad Scutaro's injury is -- he continued in the game, driving in a couple of runs on a single -- but had to eventually leave.

Bright side: I let my kids stay up late to watch the first few innings, and the Scutaro-Matt Holliday business created a teaching moment in which I was able to explain to them the politics of plunking and retaliation for dirty play.  Mookie seemed to grasp it pretty well. I know this because when Holliday came up to bat and wasn't plunked in retaliation for that slide, she yelled "why didn't they hit him?!"

On to St. Louis for Wednesday's matchup of Kyle Lohse and Matt Cain.
