"Watching is the real pain -- knowing I can't help at all," said Giants reliever LaTroy Hawkins. The right-hander smiled when he said that Saturday at McAfee Coliseum, and admitted he's coming closer to returning to action after being put on the disabled list, retroactive to June 10, with ulnar neuritis. "I do feel pretty good and that's the thing -- being on the DL and not even being hurt," said Hawkins. "It's like the funny bone, causing tingling and numbness when I was trying to sleep. But I slept better last night and feel better than I have in two weeks. "It's definitely a good day," said the 32-year-old setup specialist, who has struggled to an 0-1 record with a 15.75 ERA over five appearances since being acquired from the Chicago Cubs on May 28.
