SAN FRANCISCO -- Bruce Bochy has walked into the managers office every day this September expecting his San Francisco Giants to show some life. That day has yet to come. It likely wont this year. After the latest scoreless performance to the rival Los Angeles Dodgers knocked the Giants 9 1/2 games behind Arizona in the NL West, Bochy finally vented about his teams horrendous offence and all but admitted the playoff race is over. "Were bad right now with the bats," he said. "Were awful. Theres no other way to say it." Dana Eveland combined with two relievers to throw a six-hitter, and the Dodgers delivered another blow to the Giants dismal playoff hopes with a 3-0 victory over the defending World Series champions on Saturday night. The pitching performance extended San Franciscos scoreless streak to 17 innings. The Giants have only had two runners reach third base in that span, and about all they can do now is play out the remainder of the season. "Youre obligated to go out there and give it your best," Bochy said. "Were fortunate to be here every game and have it sold out and have these great fans here. Thats what makes it so much tougher -- at home is where were so bad." Juan Rivera had three singles and drove in a run off Ryan Vogelsong (10-7) to lift the Dodgers back to .500 with their 15th win in 18 games. Vogelsong gave up three runs in eight innings -- including one on a balk -- for his fifth straight loss. For the first time this September, San Francisco started to show signs that its already moving ahead to next year. Bochy filled out his lineup with rookies and up-and-comers: Hector Sanchez made his first start at catcher, Brett Pill was at first, Brandon Belt played left field and Justin Christian was out in centre. The revamped lineup did nothing to ignite San Franciscos offence. James Loney hit a one-out triple off Vogelsong in the second inning, and scored on Jerry Sands groundout to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead. Matt Kemp lined a triple to right leading off the fourth. Rivera followed with an RBI single, the first of three straight infield hits for Los Angeles. As if that wasnt enough to frustrate Vogelsong, he balked in a run with the bases loaded to extend the Dodgers lead to 3-0. Vogelsong argued unsuccessfully with second base umpire Laz Diaz and paced the infield furiously over the call. "Even though they werent hitting the balls hard, they were finding holes. It happens," Vogelsong said. The right-hander rallied to get three straight outs and limit the damage. Of course, with San Franciscos scoring woes, that was more enough for the Dodgers. The closest the Giants came to scoring was a dismal two-out rally in the fourth, when Pablo Sandoval singled and Brett Pill doubled down the line in left. With a chance to knock home two runs, Brandon Belt lined out to third. "His two outings have been really good," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said of Eveland. "He throws strikes and gets ahead of hitters. If he keeps pitching like that, its tough to keep a guy out." Things would only get worse for the home team. Carlos Beltran caught Jerry Sands flyout in right field for the second out of the eighth and started jogging toward the dugout, apparently thinking it was the final out of the inning. Tony Gwynn Jr. easily went from second to third, and Giants fans booed Beltran -- the prize acquisition at the trade deadline from the New York Mets -- and several others left their seats. Eveland was lifted for Jansen after he walked Hector Sanchez to open the bottom of the eighth. After pinch-hitter Mark DeRosa singled to put runners on first and third with no outs, the Giants again went out with a whimper. Pinch-hitter Aubrey Huff and Jeff Keppinger struck out swinging, and Beltran groundout out to second to end the inning. All fans could do was boo. NOTES: Giants C Buster Posey threw a light toss for the first time since he tore three ligaments in his left ankle and fractured a bone in his leg in a home-plate collision with Floridas Scott Cousins on May 25. He is on schedule to be ready by spring training. ... Giants LHP Barry Zito (ankle) will take fielding practice Sunday and is expected to be activated before the game. ...

The Major League Soccer club made the announcement early Monday morning. The 50-year-old is to be introduced as the replacement for the departed Jesse Marsch at a news conference Tuesday afternoon at Saputo Stadium. The Zurich native has been a coach since 1995, including stints with Super League clubs Young Boys Bern and Servette Geneva. "I am very pleased and proud to be the head coach of the Montreal Impact," Schallibaum said in a statement. "From our very first discussion, I felt confidence with the management. "I watched a few of the teams games from last season on video. We have a good roster with quality players and I saw a lot on character on the field. I will do all I can to help this team win." The first player to react was Brazilian midfielder Felipe Martins, who played under Schallibaum in 2010-11 at FC Lugano. "After 2 years... Will be a pleasure work with you again welcome to Montreal Marco Schallibaum!" Felipe wrote on Twitter. Impact president Joey Saputo wanted a coach who could speak English and French. Schallibaum speaks those languages as well as Italian and German. That should come in handy on a club that has former Italian defence great Alessandro Nesta as well as former Serie-A players Marco Di Vaio, Matteo Ferrari, Nelson Rivas and Andrea Pisanu. The Impact also have former Swiss league players Dennis Iapichino and Felipe. The Zurich newspaper Tages Anzeiger reported that two other Swiss coaches, Martin Andermatt and Bernard Challandes, interviewed for the job and that former Grasshoppers manager Ciriaco Sforza was considered. Saputo tweeted last week that the search was down to twoo candidates.dddddddddddd "We are very happy to announce the hiring of Marco as our new head coach for the clubs second season in MLS," Saputo said. "Its the culmination of a long and exhaustive process. From the very first meeting, both parties felt comfortable with one another." Schallibaum earned 31 caps for Switzerland, scoring one goal. He had nine goals in 379 first division games from 1980 to 1995 with Grasshoppers, Basel, Servette and Luzern, winning three championships. Marsch, an American in his first head coaching job, guided the Impact to a respectable 13-15-6 record in its inaugural MLS campaign but was gone at the end of the season due to what both sides called philosophical differences. His tenure was marked by the mid-season influx of European stars like Nesta and Di Vaio that changed the teams personality on and off the field. Schallibaum will bring a European approach to the job. "He has a lot of experience at a very high level and has acquired a lot of knowledge over the years," said Impact sporting director Nick De Santis. "Over the different meetings, we felt a real desire on his part to come to MLS and to this club. "With the rest of the technical staff, we will put him in the best situation possible in order to help him adapt quickly to the reality of North America. He is also very passionate about the game and is an excellent communicator that speaks a number of languages." Schallibaum has been out of a regular coaching job since his stint with FC Lugano in the Challenge League from 2009 to 2011, but worked as a FIFA coaching instructor in Asia. His record in 133 Super League games with Young Boys, Servette, Basel, Sion, Schaffhausen and Bellinzona was 39 wins, 58 losses and 36 draws. The Impact open training camp Jan. 21 in Montreal. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
