. breaking news right now, we have just learned of a strong earthquake off japan's northeastern coast, initially registering 6.8. however it has been put at a 6.2, tonight's quake was in the same region of the 9.0 quake back in march. and feels like the giants are falling off a cliff. >> i am sure it feels worse to them. you know, tim lincecum, when he becomes a free agent, who can blame him from running, it is official, just mind boggling

how anemic they are, it can't be the teams playing great. giants just don't hit anybody, another terrific effort wasted, he goes seven strong innings, struck out, gets nice help from the catcher, right there for the double play, seven innings, 7 k's, and a lot. the giants need every break they can get. they don't get it. that is a nice play by fredi freeman, and mike minor, one mistake, the mistake tim lincecum makes, chipper jones, goes deep, 1-0, here is the last out of the game, perfectly describing aubrey huff, final out, and a small five hits, out put by the giants tonight. the only silver lining, the phillies put the diamondbacks down again. showing up, doing his thing there for philadelphia tonight. john mayberry, jr. at bat for

the phillies, a two-run shot. and arizona loses, you know what, broadcasted, the diamondbacks had enough. out of here, out of the booth up to that. who can blame him. not so much of a single stinking run to show you from the nine. the a's come up with a zip. although there was a loss for them that was different. toronto just shells the a's trevor cahill tonight at the coliseum, and colby rasmussen, cahill drilled for 7 earned runs, jp -- a two-run single off cahill, now nine and 12. romero, a three-hit shutout for the j's, and an ease 7 for the win, always better to win, no matter the sport and the time. that is a feeling the 49ers and

raiders could use a little off. both soundly beaten in the opener. and raiders in preparation, may have a little extra incentive. they lost twice to the niners last year. the raider's quarterback, jason campbell, not forgetting on that point either. >> in the preseason, the game i got hurt in -- we played them in the regular season, they were a good defensive football team, they're always going to be good. >> i want to win, but also want our team to play well. i need to see the improvement i'm looking for. there is a vision of where we need to be, how we need to be there. i think we're getting there, that is what matters. >> all right, the coverage starts at 5:00 saturday, live from the stick, and then a complete post-game show follows directly. but that is the sporting line for us on thursday night. julia? >> mark thank you, ktvu morning
