Ugh. The Marlins won this afternoon, effectively sweeping the Giants. What a horrific series. Please go home now, Florida. You've done enough. We don't hate you. We know now you didn't mean it. It's just... please leave and allow us to heal. We're so very, very tender here in San Francisco.

As far as yesterday's Posey collision goes, it was all part of baseball, folks. During a pre-game press conference, Bruce Bochy explained:

It's part of baseball. I understand that. Guys run into catchers. Being a catcher, I've been in a few of them. You're in harm's way there. I do think we need to consider changing the rules a little bit because the catcher's so vulnerable -- and there are so many who've gotten hurt, and just a little bit. I mean, they've had their careers or shortened. And here's a guy that's very popular in baseball. Fans want to see him play. Now, he's out for a while. I'd like to see maybe something considered here where we can protect these guys a little bit more. They just don't have the protection to take a guy coming in full speed, with that kind of force. But, it's part of the game. He had two paths to go; he could have gone for home plate, but he elected to try to knock the ball loose, even though Buster had dropped the ball.

On the brighter side, it's still early in the season. So quit your bellyaching. Giants take on the Milwaukee Brewers, Friday, May 27.
