Four commercial fishermen were rescued today after their 35-foot commercial fishing boat, christened "Reward," capsized 50 yards off of Pier 45 today. Fortunately, as a response boat from the Coast Guard Station was performing "training evolutions" in the Bay, they noticed the boat sinking, went into action, and rescued the four fishermen. No injuries were sustains.

However, the boat, carrying a possible 300 gallons of diesel fuel, is currently submerged under the Bay. Check it:

The vessel is currently submerged beneath the water, and carries a maximum of 300 gallons of diesel fuel onboard. The Coast Guard will continue to assess the surrounding water for pollution, and take any steps necessary for cleanup. Coast Guard personnel, and divers from the San Francisco Police Department, were able to move the vessel to the edge of the channel to allow continued use of the waterway.

As of now, the reason for the vessel's sinking is unknown. A 100-yard safety zone has been established around the submerged boat. Just how long it will take for the boat to be removed is also unknown. Stay tuned, folks.

For a fanbase with a team that is 2-0 and in first place of the NFC West, Niners fans sure aren't enjoying things. Well, Niners fans can be placed into two groups, the "we're just happy to be here" group and the "my eyes...they burn!" group. Criticism seems to be over their offensive performance which has in a word, kinda sucked. Is Nolan too conservative? Is Alex Smith ready? Is Smith really all that good to begin with? Was last year's offensive improvement just due to Norv Turner? Did James Spader really beat James Gandolfini for "Best Actor in a Dramatic Series?" And what's the over/under on the 49ers getting over 100 yards against the Steely McBeans? We dunno. All we know is that the implosion of the New Orleans Saints is killing us fantasy football and we are NOT happy.

Anyways, in honor of the passing of Brett Somers to the Great Gameshow Panel in the sky, we present the baseball scores all Match Game style.

Giants 8 DBacks 5- The Giants rallied to win despite the fact their bullpen once again ____________ a lead.

Mariners 4 A's 0- Dan Haren lost his fourth straight game because the A's offense was unable to ____________ any runs.

Seriously, did Spader really win an Emmy over Gandolfini?

Giants 2 DBacks 1- On the radio, they were talking about last night's three-run cough up as maybe the toughest Giants loss of the season. Now that's an interesting topic of discussion, that being the worst Giants loss of the season. They debated the same thing, sort of, on McCovey Chronicles but we can't remember what led to it. Frankly, Monday night's game was rough, but not that rough, primarily because the Giants are so out of it that at this point, it meant nothing in the grand scheme of things. And out of all the blown saves the Giants have this season, isn't a blown save kind of something that fits into the realm as always a possibility? Oh, how quick we are to forget the big blown game of the season, Armando Benitez's two-balk extravaganza. Sure, it's not like giving up a three run homer with two outs in the ninth, but losing a game in the twelfth inning by balking in the winning run? Now that's losing in style.

Kanye 8.7 vs 50 Cent 4.9- We still haven't heard the Kanye song, but it's gotta be better than "Ayo Technology"

A's 7 M's 4- The A's took advantage of a reeling Mariners as the Mariners hav e now lost 15 out of 17. You know things aren't going their way when they give up 2 runs to the A's on bases loaded walks in the 4th. Mark Ellis, Mike Piazza, and Shannon Stewart each wielded big bats to get the win for the A's as some guy named Ruddy Lugo got the win.

Giants 4 Braves 2- You know, the fun thing about this whole Barry chase is that ESPN and Fox are trying to show as many Giants games as possible because nobody knows when the Barry will break the record so as a result, every baseball fan trying to gawk at history are stuck watching a lot of games featuring one of the worst teams in baseball. That includes the press and sold out crowds. When he doesn't hit one or doesn't even play, it's like seeing one of those one-hit wonder bands not play their one-hit. Or it's like, well, we caught part of Phantom Menace on HBO last night and remember how hyped up that movie was? Remember how excited everyone was and how convinced we were that it would possibly be the greatest moment of all of our lives? And remember the crushing disappointment to realize that it was essentially a movie about a whiny child fighting cartoonish robot armies over a trade dispute? Well, that’s what this is all like. Anyways, the Enchanter was pretty darn enchanting with the exception of one gopher ball given up by Jeff Francouer. He's now 6-2 and got his ERA under 4.00 (3.90).

A's 6 M's 2- The A’s have now won four out of the three as they beat up the reeling Mariners. The big guy this time around was Nick Swish who hit two homeruns, including a three run homer in the ninth to put the game away. Dan Haren once again threw down but the crazy thing is that he’s been pitching so well that the two runs he gave up in seven innings actually raised his ERA from from 2.41 to 2.42. Over at Athletics Nation, they’re wondering what Beane is going to do with Mike Piazza as with the deadline fast approaching, Beane has to decide whether to go for this year or go for next year.

Reds 6 Giants 3- Giants lost, blah...blah...blah but the big news is that Barry has decided that he won't participate in Monday's Home Run Derby. Bad legs and all that. Now, this can't be considered that much of a surprise as Barry can't even deign to show up for team photos. But still, if there's anybody who should be there, it's Barry. It's his house. It's like Springsteen going on tour but not playing New Jersey. It's like Dick Cheney going on a trip to Europe and not going to Transylvania. It's like Steve Miller not going to "Swingtown." Oh yeah, he's got bad legs and all that but it's not like the Giants are in the playoff race so it's not like his missing out a few games due to competing in the Derby would set the team back. The only thing the Giants have left this season is the circus surrounding Barry and the Home Run Derby is about as circus-like as it gets. If you’re doing the circus, you might as go all the way

A's 3 Mariners 2- Hey, the A's are in a big series right now, a big four game series against the M's. The M's have to be considered one of the big surprises in the season because, well, nobody thought they'd be any good. Whether or not they have any staying power is a whole other matter, but right now the Mariners are 3 1/2 games ahead of the A's. In game 1 of the series, two long lost A's, Nick Swish and Bobby Crosby both homered as Chad Gaudin picked up his eighth win.

Blue Jays 11 A's 7- What up with the A's pitching staff? For months and months, the pitching was an impregnable fortress. Now, it's leaking all over the place. The pitcher who got tagged this time was Lenny DiNardo who was done in mainly by Vernon Wells. The good news, however, is that the A's offense is still scoring runs. The even better news is that one of their main competitors in the playoff chase, the Mariners, should be imploding any second know due to their manager stepping down in the midst of an eight game winning streak. Nobody is asking us, but our theory is that the manager, Mike Hargrove, pulled a Costanza and decided to go out on top. You know, always leave them wanting more.

The Giants didn't play last night as they're on their way to Cincinnati to play the Reds, the worst team in the NL. We watched both PTI and Around the Horn yesterday and people on both shows were throwing around crazy conspiracy theories that Barry L's sudden surge of votes at the last minute was cooked up by MLB as a way of having Bonds play the game without him having to be selected by Bud Selig. We called "Loose Change" to see what they think about all this and they said they'll get back to us.

=Oakland finally snapped out of it and beat the Mariners 12-3 just as word filtered down the Angels lost 5-2. Your Magic Number? 0. As in "clinched." As in "playoffs!"

Who the A's play is still up in the air. It'll be whoever wins the Central which would mean either the Tigers or the Twins (or in other words, they'll be playing not the New York Yankees). But we'll let them worry about it later.

If, like us, you love watching champagne celebrations in locker rooms, KTVU has the raw footage of it. And Athletics Nation has pretty much the live blogging action. It's a pretty fun read.

After losing two in a row to the Angels, the A's had to be thinking that a three-game road swing through Seattle would cure their clinching blues. After all, they've won fifteen in a row against the M's. But they turned out to be wrong. The A's lost again, 10-9, in extra innings. Even worse, the A's were up by three in the bottom of the ninth only to watch Houston Street blow the save as the Mariner's rallied to send the game to extra innings.

It was pretty ugly. The Mariners rally in the ninth consisted of a double and a whole bunch of singles. The winning run in the tenth consisted of a lead-off single by Ichiro, a throwing error by pitcher Kiko Calero, and then a two run game-winning single by Willie Bloomquist (as in who?). Ouch.

Obviously, what you have here is a team playing tight. Considering the Angels also won making the magic number still two, blowing the pennant would be unprecedented, but after losing the last three games, we're guessing A's fans are feeling a little queasy right now.

Jon was going to write up a blurb about the Giants taking two-out-of-three from the D-Backs, but he was way-laid by a prawn quesidilla at Taco Bell. And yes, you might be thinking to yourself that Taco Bell doesn't serve prawn quesidillas but Jon forgot. He still isn't sure what he ate. Since the Giants' keys to victory were so easy to figure out, in his place and writing up today's Giants blurb will be the President of the United States of America, George W. Bush.

See, what the Giants need to do is to win. You have to win to make it to the playoffs. And the Giants? They won. They beat the Arizona Diamondboys 8-2. They have now won two in a row. That's better than losing two in a row. The Giants are now two-back from the Dodgers and tied for third place.

And see, you need pitching to win and the Giants had pitching. Yesterday, Matt Morris did a heckuva job pitching. He pitched the whole game. That means no relief pitchers were used. He's only won two games since April 13th, but he's been pitching much better lately. And the day before, Matt Cain won a game. Matt Cain is a good man. He's a young man. He's a rookie. He pitches with much fastness. And he's wonfour starts out of the last five starts he's started. That's good.

You also need to hit the ball and score some runs. Scoring more runs than the other team helps you win. That Pedro Feliz guy, he's Mexican by the way and he came here to do a job the Giants couldn't find anybody else to do, got four hits and knocked in six runs. He's a RBI'er, see, and that's what he's got to do-- hit RBIs. He's on pace to hit 112 and he's hitting .280. .280 is a good average.

Now I understand some of you are upset with the Giants this year. I know Jon is (we call him Stalker Guy, by the way, because he won't stop calling Jenna). But you have to have faith in Felipe Alou and Brian Sabean. You have to have strength. You have to stay the course and not flip-flop. Alou and Sabean, they're the Deciders and they decide things. We're just going to have to trust them.

Up next for the Giants, the Seattle Mariners. They hate our freedoms.
