One event captured the essence of the Giants' first week. It did not happen on the field, but in the clubhouse. Reliever Keiichi Yabu was doing an arm exercise, pulling a long rubber tube attached to a hook inside his locker, when the tube came loose, snapped back to his face and hit both of his eyes.
It happened Saturday, and Yabu's vision remained blurry with corneal abrasions Sunday. The proof came when Yabu was asked if his vision was better and he told a reporter, "Yes, you look good."
Yabu was not available for Sunday's game, which the Giants lost 7-0. Randy Winn could not start because of his own freak accident Saturday. He bruised his right ankle with his bat on a backswing. Aaron Rowand remained on the pine with sore ribs. X-rays taken Sunday were inconclusive, and he might have to take another set this morning.
