Forgot About Cain

It's kind of like Eminem said - Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say/ But nothin comes out when they move they lips/ Just a buncha gibberish/ And muthafuckas act like they forgot about [Matt] Cain. Maybe it was a couple of lackluster starts, or maybe it was the fact that Tim Lincecum's amazing consistency takes away all the attention, but those in the Giants community seemed to forget for a moment about this great righthander we have named Matt Cain. But last night, Cain went out and reminded everyone while he is still the man. Eight innings and just two runs, but maybe more impressive was Cain's solo home run. It was his second of the year, putting him ahead of Randy Winn and Ray Durham.

Cain seems like a pretty mentally tough guy, but even he was feeling any insecurity that we had forgotten about him, he should not worry. Cain is just as much a part of this team's future as Lincecum, with both pitchers always giving us a strong chance to win.

It should also be noted that the Giants did have Cain's back last night, scoring three runs in the first, and that Brian Wilson now leads the NL in saves with 12.
