SAN FRANCISCO–For Giants pitcher Matt Cain to come back and get two perfect innings on Tuesday it was a great confidence builder and he displayed that he’s healthy enough to go at it again and he pitched against a potent Dodgers lineup. The Giants tied up that game with the Dodgers 5-5.

Cain is coming back he’ll be okay and you have to give him sometime and elbow surgery is very serious and for a pitcher it’s very serious and Cain will need more time. That Dodger line up with Yasiel Puig and company can be a handful but Cain handled it well, let’s remember that when these two teams get together it’s one of the greatest rivalries in sports.

It’s been a rivalry since they both were in New York in the 50s, and that line up and rivalry is very good down south. There was not too much concern going into this game and he pitched only two innings. You don’t want to throw your arm out and not being able to pitch during the season. He could throw two pitches and he could be out the entire season.

Cain looked very good for someone who hasn’t pitched in seven or eight months, he looked really good and he should look pretty good when he goes in for his next start. Coming up this weekend as well.

Pablo Sandoval said he left San Francisco because of the way they treated him and it was not because of the money: I was stunned beyond belief when Pablo said this about the Giants organization. Your talking about one of the great clubhouses in MLB. I covered this team since 2003 and this is one of the best clubhouses since that time.

I’ve covered this team at home and on the road and to hear what Sandoval said about the Giants and Bruce Bochy whose been like a father to him and Hunter Pence and his teammates. This is a slap in the face to the other 24 members of the Giants, the coaches, the equipment staff, and the front office. What Panda said was absolutely disgusting.
