There’s something so incredibly exciting and rewarding about a come-from-behind extra-innings victory, that shows your team’s heart and willingness to see the game through to the very last pitch.
In a game in which Tim Lincecum was clearly not at his best, the Giants had key performances from several different players, including a 4-hit night from Cody Ross, 3 hits apiece from Freddy Sanchez and Nate Schierholtz, and another 2 hits each for Brandon Crawford and Eli Whiteside.
It seemed like a great idea at the time, coming home early to watch the recording of tonight’s game, settling back on the couch with a cup of coffee and my laptop, watching my Giants silence the mighty St. Louis lineup and scratch out another win for our boy Mr. Tweety Vogelstrong.
For 7 1/2 innings, the plan went off without a hitch, but apparently the SF bullpen didn’t get the message.
In the twenty-seventh episode, Thomas and Danny share a somber session to talk about Buster Posey’s season-ending injury, the Giants’ possible interim catcher solutions, and the playoff hopes of a Buster-less Giants offense.
