Giants 13 Dbacks 0- Yes, the Kid (the Franchise? The Enchanter?) pitched a shutout as the Giants offense exploded (somewhere, Matt Cain cried himself to sleep) but the big news is that Barry B. rallied in the final days to be voted into one of the starting spots on the NL All Star team. Credit has to be given to the Giants front office who rallied season ticket holders and other fans to his cause and were able to get him the votes needed. Some would say that the whole thing was a bit more ass-kissing on the Giants' part-- after all, they didn't rally the fans to vote for B Money Molina or Lincecum. We like to prefer his being voted in as the Sanjaya vote-- the punk vote. After all, what sort of All Stars news would cause quite the cognitive dissonance than the popular election to baseball's big night by the so-called arch-villain of baseball and poster child of steroids? We're sure there's a lot of media folks out there with steam coming out of their ears trying to figure this one out and we don't even want to think what Bud is thinking about all this. As Nelson would say, "ha ha."

A's 11 Yankees 5- Dan Haren had kind of a weird day yesterday. He didn't pitch very well (gave up five runs) but got the win (his 10th) and got selected to be the A's representative to the All Star Game. Good going Dan. As for the game, it was the return of the Bizarro A's as the pitching wasn't so hot but the offense was. The A's took two out of three from the Yankees, scoring eighteen runs in the past two games.

--There were more bikes than cars on Market Street today for Bike To Work Day. Soon we will realize our dream where every car driver is assigned an individual biker to yell at them with a camera in hand.

--Better to be biking to work than on MUNI -- as some of you reported to us, there was a massive meltdown in the tunnel this morning when the computer system crashed. Maggie Lynch says this happens "infrequently."

--The FCC's approved the iPhone.

--They're hoping to reopen 580 by Memorial Day! Crazy! (The construction company gets a $5 million bonus if they do.) Also, that sign by the bridge is still way too bright.

--Steven Jones and Ken Garcia's email correspondence.

--Luke Thomas says conditions in local homeless shelters are really bad. The Newsom administration, through Pat Murphy, disagrees.

--YouTube's going to sponsor a Democratic candidates' debate. You know, never mind these "primaries" -- let's do the presidential debates like -- after each one, we get to vote one candidate off. Sanjaya for president!

Tonight's the opening night for the San Francisco International Film Festival! It's two weeks of everything in the world you can think of that's related to film: new indie favorites, an old (remastered) Disney darling, foreign films, documentaries, film-related music concerts, and even panel discussions -- one of which is moderated by film fanatic and former SFist editor Eve Batey! We're totally there (with the big glitter sign that says "I Love You Sanjaya," with "Sanjaya" crossed off and "Eve" scrawled in Sharpie pen next to it.).

Also: we are pleased as punch to let you guys know that to help kick things off, we're working with the SFIFF to offer -- not two! -- but three chances to win movie passes to selected SFIFF screenings this weekend! So keep coming back to SFist over the next few days (or maybe even this afternoon) and enter for your chance to win.
