Mike Leake over Matt Cain.
Who would have thunked it? I certainly didn't. Baseball is a funny game.

Re: 6.29.12 Reds @ SF Giants
My baseball signature sums up how I feel about last night's win... (thanks to lollipopcurve)

Re: 6.29.12 Reds @ SF Giants
Mike frickin Leake. What sub-sixfoot righthander skips the minor leagues, slaps #44 on his back, goes out and starts winning in the double digits and hitting around .300?
Who does that?

Re: 6.29.12 Reds @ SF Giants
Man, I'm so bummed. I watched the game until around the 6th inning or so and then my internet connection went out for the remainder of the night. I missed the Leake dinger and seeing him finish out a complete game gem. Congrats to Mike on a beauty of a game. Kudos to Bruce as well. 4 for 4. That'll work. :O) Let's take the series win tonight boys!
~edit~ I went back and re-read the gamethread....my connection went out as Leake was stepping to the plate for the dinger. Man, that SUCKS!

Just think if Chapman's funk hadn't come along where we would be.
