NLCS: Giants announce Bumgarner, Vogelsong Starters in Games 1 and 2

 It was not long after the St. Louis Cardinals came from well behind the Washington Nationals to win Game 5 of the NLDS that Bruce Bochy and the San Francisco Giants announced their first two starters of the NLCS.

            The Giants were presumably docked in Cincinnati waiting to know where they would be playing in the NLCS.

            They found out they would be heading home to start the series on Sunday.

49ers’ Brandon Jacobs Frustrated in San Francisco?

Now would be the time for Brandon Jacobs to inquire about his playing time.

            He is set to go up against his former team -- a team he won the Super Bowl with last season, and the same team he was released by in the offseason.

            However, Jacobs has not touched the field in the 2012 regular season with the 49ers.

            If you ask head coach Jim Harbaugh, he would say that Jacobs has battled some injuries and the team wants him to be 100%.

            But anyone with a logical bone in their body knows that Jacobs is ready to go and could have played in any of the last three weeks’ games if he had to.

San Francisco Giants: Taking A Look at the Starting Rotation in NLCS

The San Francisco Giants became the first team in MLB history to claim victory in a five-game series by winning three straight games on the road, and now the waiting begins.

            If the Nationals take down the Cardinals at home in Game 5 Friday night, then the Giants will travel to Washington D.C. to play the first two games of the series.

            If St. Louis takes down the Nationals, then the Giants start at AT&T Park in front of a home crowd ready to welcome home a team they never saw win in the 2012 NLDS.

San Francisco Giants: Bochy Shows Support For Alex Smith, 49ers

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith was originally fined $15,000 by the NFL for wearing a San Francisco Giants hat during Sunday's postgame press conference, following the 49ers' victory over the Detroit Lions.

Smith's fine of $15,000 was rescinded, and the NFL instead gave a warning to the 49ers quarterback.

San Francisco 49ers vs. Detroit Lions: Week 2 Preview and Predictions

The San Francisco 49ers will encounter another very strong offensive team when they line up against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

The 49ers, who defeated the favored Green Bay Packers last week, will look to add on to their already terrifying array of accolades shown in the Packers win by knocking off Calvin Johnson, Matthew Stafford and the Lions in the Candlestick Park home opener.

San Francisco has been dealt another team that will throw the ball at will.
