Ian Kennedy RHP, 8-2, 3.01

Gio Gonzalez LHP, 7-5, 2.38

What with all the excitement and chit-chat this morning, quite forgot that there's a game on, so this'll be a brief intro. Expect Ian Kennedy to be pitching with a good deal of disgruntledness [is that a word? It is now...], following his All-Star Game snub - and there's no other word for it. Meanwhile we are facing an opposing starter who sounds like he is actually a third-rate import car - "0% financing on the new Gio Gonzalez..." - so, not trouble there. Giants have just fallen behind in Detroit, so let's hope that keeps up.
