Sigma: I thought the same when I saw Reggie's nickname invoked as one for MadBum. 
And I'm actually a bit surprised you put his pic up considering Reggie's impact during the Yankees-Dodgers World Series showdowns in the late 70s and early 80s.
Though I was just a li'l tyke at the time, I clearly remember thinking Reggie was a "big cheater" (kid talk)
for this...

Cueto v. Lester: should be a good game with runs scored by both teams against the starters. Hoping that the extended layoff shows rust on Lester and we get to him early, while the pressure packed run up for the G-men keeps Cueto sharp from the start.
6.25pm start or some nonsense?

Yep. I pretty much figured it would be a low scoring game but I was really hoping they'd find a way to get something off of Lester. Hoping for some offense tonight!
Go Giants!!!

Close game, that 1 mistake did due the Giants in. However I think the Giants weren't matching energy early in the game. Had chances on the bases and didn't do anything with leadoff guys besides getting thrown out. Their catcher was rallying the troops and holding the line.
Posey almost tied it, at least we know that Chapman ain't invincible. I thought he had all of that though from the swing.

Not today!I think that same wind that nearly pulled back Baez's eventual game-winner reined in Buster's almost-game-tying blast.
Still, twas a great pitcher's duel. Cueto and Lester were dealing. Sucks that Lester didn't have his regular mojo in the 2014 WildCard during his stint with the A's.
