1. Puffballs?

SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants left fielder Angel Pagan body-slammed a male fan who ran onto the field and into the outfield grass at AT&T Park during the fourth inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night.

Another fan -- a female -- was taken down by security in shallow right field. The two, dressed in Dodger Blue and offering what appeared to be white puffballs, were removed.

The male first approached catcher Buster Posey, who with his left arm shoved the man to the ground. The man jumped up and ran, and third baseman Gordon Beckham swiped at him before the fan took off into left field.

Pagan offered a hand as if to accept the round white object before throwing both arms around the man, twisting him and throwing him to the ground.

Pagan received a roaring ovation from the sellout crowd when the half-inning ended, and he tipped his cap.



If you look, you can see the woman in right field being hauled off.

3. Thanks for filling in the details Brother Buzz ...

I was watching the game in realtime and posted the video with my phone.

Loved the tip of the hat routine.

4. Bottom of the sixth!

I was convinced beyond any doubt, the Giants were going to lose the entire series to the Dodgers, then BOOM, the Giants sticks came alive.

Two games left, yet the NL wild card race is still anyone's guess! Good baseball

5. Chronicle beat writers are reporting that L.A. is playing it's bench for the experience

rather than trying to eliminate the Giants ... explains why McCarthy was allowed to surrender 4 hits and a walk without recording an out. We may see a different strategy in the next two games.
