San Francisco 6 Philadelphia 5, Giants Take 3-1 Series Lead: This game took years off of Giants and Phillies fans lives. There was mediocre starting pitching, spotty relief, clutch hitting, and Roy Oswalt coming out of the bullpen for the ninth inning. Juan Uribe's sac fly in the ninth inning off of Roy Oswalt, who was working in relief for whatever reason, to drive in the winning run of the game and to push the Phillies to the brink of elimination. There's no other way to say this, but both bullpens stunk tonight. The Giants bullpen blew the lead twice and the Phillies bullpen blew a lead and eventually blew the game. The only reliever who was semi-incompetent for the Giants was the
bearded wonder Brian Wilson, as he pitched a scoreless ninth and picked up the victory. Buster Posey had four hits in the game for the Giants and Pablo Sandoval hit a crucial two-run double in the sixth inning. It was great seeing the young guys clutch up. Roy Halladay pitches tomorrow for the Phillies, while
Tim Lincecum looks to clinch a World Series birth for the Giants at home. Should be another outstanding game.
If this is torture, then I would like some more please.

Incredible game last night. Good to see Panda finally break out of his slump.
