Madison Bumgarner Called Up

McCovey Chronicles
| Comments
He might even start tonight, but for now we just know that he's at least getting called up. Rumor has it that Tim Lincecum has a sore back, and that's why Bumgarner is getting the call. I don't like that rumor, though, so I'm just going to ignore it.

When Eli Whiteside came into a 9-2 game, it was almost amusing. It was the perfect situation for Buster Posey to make his major league debut. Posey would probably catch pitchers he was familiar with -- Alex Hinshaw, Dan Runzler, Waldis Joaquin -- and there wouldn't be a high...

And, uh, maybe Velez. But I'm pretty sure Lewis would have fielded that ground ball to end the eighth too.

Maybe the Giants will still make the playoffs. Heck, they're just a game back of a playoff spot. But if they don't, the epitaph will be simple. A single sentence on a tombstone that tells a story.
