LOS ANGELES - LAPD's Robbery-Homicide detectives have taken charge of the investigation into the beating of a San Francisco Giants fan at Dodger Stadium on opening day, police said today. ![CDATA[In an article by Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News, he says that a few folks are indicating that the Giants are "ramping up their pursuit of another catcher. Maybe even two." San Francisco has been using Eli Whiteside as the team's everyday catcher after the season ending injury to Buster Posey. Baggarly mentioned that Ivan Rodriguez may not be the ... It's admirable that several members of the world champion San Francisco Giants have filmed an "It Gets Better" video aimed particularly at LGBT youth who are bullied and/or feel trapped, as if there's nowhere to turn. It's encouraging, too, that other teams, including the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs, have plans to make similar videos. Athletes from other sports - Sean Avery of hockey's New York Rangers, Steve Nash of basketball's Phoenix Suns, Brendon Ayanbadejo of football's Baltimore Ravens, Columbia wrestling coach Hudson Taylor, British rugby star Ben Cohen, and more - have come forward to support same-sex marriage or help to fight homophobia. Still, it's statistically jaw- dropping that not one active athlete in any major American professional sport - not a single one - has yet felt able to come out while in his peak years. And there are almost certainly hundreds at any given time. Yes, some may decline to do so because they are private people, or they don't wish to become icons, or they are just completely focused on their job (or on other aspects of their life outside of their sport). But given the increasing tolerance toward gays ...

Barry Zito will make another start for Single-A San Jose on Saturday, Bochy said. The manager raved about Zito's stuff and command while limiting Stockton to two hits in 62/3 innings Monday night, but said he wanted Zito to exceed 100 pitches "a couple times" before completing his minor league rehab assignment. The Giants likely are grooming Zito to return June 28, when they play a doubleheader at Wrigley Field.

In the ever-escalating debate on AT&T's $39 billion T-Mobile takeover, you can now count tech giants including Microsoft, Facebook and 10 venture capital firms among supporters of the deal. Letters of support from the firms were filed with the FCC on Monday, the New York Times reports, with Friday being the deadline for supporting comments. That means we'll likely see other firms jumping in to support the deal throughout the week. The deadline for opposing comments, which would join with criticism from Sprint and consumer advocate groups, was last week. In general, the firms supported AT&T's notion that buying T-Mobile will help to improve its network and ultimately deliver better mobile broadband to consumers across the country. Last week at the D9 conference, AT&T CEO Ralph de la Vega argued that combining the two carrier's networks would equal five to ten years worth of individual network improvements in New York City and San Francisco. "Many policy-related efforts will not be able to quickly address near-term capacity needs," the Microsoft-led group wrote. "The F.C.C. must seriously weigh the benefits of this merger and approve it." Other companies lending their support for the deal on Monday include BlackBerry maker Research ... SAN FRANCISCO, June 7 (UPI) -- Freddy Sanchez singled in Chris Stewart with two out in the 13th inning Monday, giving the San Francisco Giants a 5-4 victory over the Washington Nationals.
