Favorite moments from the Giants' most dominant win of the year

I guess I should rave about the opposing team more often. Yesterday, I talked about how good the Cardinals' lineup is and how they're a frightening team going forward. I'm not changing this stance, but it's interesting that my last couple somewhat negative posts were followed by the Giants going all Wilt Chamberlain over their opponents (Because they scored a lot. Double entendre! BOOM!) I'm sure this blog had everything to do with the blowouts. It's the only explanation.

Anyway, the Giants beat the Cardinals 15-0 tonight. According to ESPN Stats and Info, this was the largest shutout win by the Giants since a game they played decades ago when they scored less than 15 runs (paraphrasing). As you would probably guess, there were many things I enjoyed about this game. Here are those things:

• The Giants scoring 15 runs.
• The Giants giving up zero runs.
• This win was against a good team, not the Rockies.
• Ryan Vogelsong continuing to quietly be one of the best pitchers in the NL.
• Vogelsong got less run support in this start than in his last (the 16-4 win over the Rockies).
• Melky and Posey staying hot. Both now have .399 OBPs and a combined .537 SLG.
• Allen Craig wasn't in the game.
• Tyler Greene was in the game.
• The Giants doubled their run differential and dropped St. Louis' differential back down to double digits from +114 to +99.
• Marco Scutaro having himself a GAME. 7 RBIs in one game are pretty good, and his first home run in a Giants uniform was a grand slam, which he hit with only an eleven-run lead. Clutch.
• Brandon Crawford showed up, and not just on defense. 
• Hunter Pence had two hits, which drove in the 1st and 3rd runs of the game. Also, Kruk and Kuip's conversation about Pence's on-deck swing, calling it a "hold-off seven iron", was hilarious. For you non-golfers, this is what they were referencing his swing to.
• Brandon Belt also had a two-hit game. If he keeps having solid at-bats like he has the past few games, he might be able to secure the first-base job for the rest of the season ... Bochy, stop looking at Brett Pill like that. Fight the temptation! Wait, Sabean, who are you texting? Is that Lyle Overbay's agent?! NOOOOOO!
• Jose Mijares made his Giants debut, pitching the ninth. He gave up a walk and a hit but was able to get out of it without ruining the shutout. I think he'll be good for the Giants, and they literally gave up nothing for him. He's also only getting paid about $900,000 this year, so picking him up is a no risk, all reward situation.
• The Giants won 15-0.
