Bruce Bochy just held his pregame presser. He was coughing and clearing his throat and seemed filled with phlegm. He said "the crud" has been rampaging his clubhouse and other major league teams.

The Giants have played 20 games. Their record is 10-10 and they have lost three in a row and they are not hitting and they are not even pitching that well. Tim Hudson out-dueled Tim Lincecum today and Madison Bumgarner seems lost and, by the way, Aubrey Huff is in [...]
