With the terrible news that Buster Posey has come down with shingles, the San Francisco Giants are hoping this is not the start of another injury-plagued season.

But the show must go on, now with Hector Sanchez catching Tim Lincecum this evening, batting fifth.

Nate Schierholtz gets the start right field ad Brandon Belt will get another day off.
