ST PETERSBURG -- Torii Hunter stood on third representing the go-ahead run. Vernon Wells occupied first and Hank Conger stood at the plate with one out in the eighth.

A St. Petersburg, Florida, attorney says Facebook and social media are used in 90 percent of her divorce cases. Doing dumb things you don't want your soon-to-be ex to know about? Don't think that simply closing a Facebook account is all it takes to wipe away your stupidity. Because websites like Google cache images as soon as they're put online, pictures from Facebook accounts that have been deactivated can stick around for years.

WASHINGTON -- Neither a particular individual nor a single event was most responsible for the Giants' 5-2 loss Sunday to the Washington Nationals.
The Giants climbed toward last year's World Series title by winning as a team. During this season's descent from that plateau, they're proving that they can collaborate on defeats just as readily as they could with victories.
Pick a shortcomings, any shortcoming. The Giants' sixth setback in nine games was another group effort. Just not an ideal one.
