Okay, we are live and getting set for the start of tonight's Giants - Phillies game!

[Lefty Noob]

No Barry Bonds tonight. I'm sure ESPN was hoping this would be a Bonds vs. Howard match-up when they scheduled it.

What's the word on this rookie starting for the Giants? Any good?

Whew... Victorino just took the rook out of the part with a two-run homer. Phillies out to an early lead.

Rollins was the guy on base. He singled so his hitting streak is up to 10 games.

Wind looked like it caught a hold of that one. Not a good start for this kid Lincecum.

Guess he played a night game followed by an afternoon game already this weekend, and he's so old he'd need a walker to get to the plate if he tried to play three straight games.

[vincesanity82]

they may still let him dh later

Lincecum gives up a single to Rollins, a homer to Victorino and then K's Utley and Howard. Go figure.
