Must get better at driving in runs tomorrow.
1 win down, two to go!

This team is what it is. It is not a perfect team. But it is a pesky team, with a GREAT manager.

I am beginning to like the Giants chances more and more, because other teams simply can't match the experience in these kinds of games that the Giants have. Not even close...

Zimmerman tomorrow so it's not gonna get easier.

 

[Cali Steel]

Huge for them to take game 1 in Wash.

 

[Mays-Fan]

Speaking of which...

It has been a couple years removed now...

Where does Weez rate all time for Giants Closers?

At their best, IMO, I'll go with Nen, Beck, Wilson.

But huge props to Wilson for actually closing the deal in 2010.

No. 3 after Nenn and Beck. Arguably, Minton should be No. 3, but Wilson was on the mound when we won our first title.

We're not going to see a bad opposing starting pitcher this postseason, so keep bringing 'em on.

Huge win. I wonder how much Boch will use Strickland for the rest of the series?

He kinda used him like an old school fireman today. My guess is that when we absolutely need a strikeout, Strickland we'll continue to be on the top of the list. Just needs to keep the ball down a bit and get a secondary pitch working.

We may actually have the worst SP of any matchup we might have this post season. Past Bum and Peavy, we have bubpkis.

Of course, in 12, we didn't even have a hands-down Ace, so again, you have to look at the Bochy-factor.

I hope the days off enable Huddy to bring his pre AS self to the park tomorrow.
