Giants win on walk-off E1 - It's the "Giants Way"

http://m.mlb.com/video/?content_id=36807385&topic_id=6479266

It's never pretty, but this is the "Giants Way" this season. The bullpen got the train back on the tracks after Huddy was perhaps left in a bit too long and frittered away an early four run lead. Maybe Bochy pushed him a little too far trying to shorten the bullpen assignment or just deferring to the veteran warrior.

This sets things up nicely for the next two, of which the Giants really only MUST win one of two. The Cardinals almost MUST win both. Vogie and Bummer at home give the Gigantes an outside chance at closing things out at home, but we're a long way from that.

Cardinals would have to like their chances even if they go home down 3-2 with the task of beating Peavy and Hudson on consecutive nights. No offense to the way either one has pitched down the stretch, but this is where you miss Matt Cain pitching before or after Bumgarner.

A little overkill on the Gamecast data, but this is a pretty play. Bad-hopper to Pablo, which if it gets by him, puts the Giants in a large 10th inning hole. If he leaves after this season, the Giants will miss plays like this, which Pablo has delivered routinely throughout the year. This one was delivered in the clutch, in prime time, for the whole nation to see. Cha ching!!!
