Giants take down Marlins, 6-0

Before the game, Casey McGehee accepted his award for the Comeback Player of the Year. He had to stand in front of a crowd he hadn't won over yet, and hold up a glass something-or-rather. No one watching could really appreciate the glass something-or-rather because they didn't see anything McGehee did last year. He just had to sit there and smile. The fans were polite.

In the first inning, McGehee fell over. In theory, he was diving for a ball. In practice, he fell over. It wasn't anything that should define how he plays baseball -- the ball was pummeled, and he probably got caught between a dive and the realization a dive would be hopeless -- but it still looked exceptionally awkward.
