Nice list. I would have noted Sanchez's father being at the game, seeing his son pitch in the majors for the first time.

I have no problem with your list - I don't remember the games off the top of my head.

How would you rank them? I would have had the no-hitter first easily but yesterday's game was pretty improbable and gives it a good run for the money (I still go with Sanchez).

For other games, I would think that Cain's start where he strikes out a lot but walk very little (I recall a start with zero walks for the first time in his career) would be a good sign of the new Cain. And he has been different this year, he not only improved in the number of DOM starts he has had this season, but also drastically reduced the number of DIS starts (PQS terminology, or Pure Quality Starts, a saber version of quality starts that Ron Shandler's group invented).

Might also add Lincecum's 3rd start of the season. It was the first where he pitched like last year and not like how he looks like.

Could put an RJ start in there, #300?

Rowand batting leadoff for the first time?

Sandoval's first HR of June as harbinger? He ended up with double digits homers just in June if I recall right, which helped the team run to a 17-10 month if I remember right. We are where we are because of that month. No June Swoon there. More like June Launching Pad.

Sorry, I hated yesterday's game. I realize it could have been much, much worse if we had gone on to lose. I was watching on the internet at work and it was just a killer to see it go from Lincecum pitching to Ethier with two outs in the ninth and two strikes to a tie game if the blink of a refresh. It felt like a piece of me died. I did not want the smogsuckers to be able to come back against Tim. I know it was only 4 hits, I would have preferred none.

Yesterday's game was it for me and that one was for all time in my book. It had all of waht I love about baseball, the Giants and the rivalry with the Dodgers. Subplots and tension galore....blown scoring opportunities to the point of serious frustration, blown calls to the point of obscenity, R. Martin in the dirt (nice work EV), Panda fueling the rivalry and making me proud he is a Giant (HR gazing aside), benches cleared, fired up radio broadcast crew, friggin Eithier, stellar Linececum, HR to win it all, and all in a day game. Absolutley baseball, loved it.

Winning this one was a good thing, certainly for the giants, but also for me because I would have been in a sour mood and had to put on a 40th birthday party. Nice work Giants.

Panda's walkoff against the Nats' (and former Dodger) Beimel, a few innings after he fell flat on his face rounding second and was tagged out. That was awesome.

Sanchez's no-hitter was tops for me. It blew the lid off what we daringly thought we could expect from the younger players. It said, These young guys have POTENTIAL.

I think that last game goes down as my favourite of the season so far. Mainly because I actually got to watch it live on MLB.TV (I live in the UK so I watch most games the following day). Experiencing all the ups and downs, feeling the highs and lows as they happened is really what sports are all about and I doubt that there will be many games in teh future that will really drag me in like that one.

Honourable mention goes to our sweep clinhing win over the A's when Schierholtz hit his inside the park homerun and threw out Jack Hannahan at second in a great defensive play.
