    road team now undefeated in the SF/CIN series.

    Giants win 2-1 in 10. Poor managing by Bochy left the Giants without players (save for sanchez, the backup catcher, who bochy wouldn't use) , but they won anyway.

    Pence was injured and they couldn't take him out. He couldn't run.

    Then Romo batted for himself in the 10th.

    Key baserunning blunder by Brandon Phillips in the first cost the Reds (he was on 1st, took off for second, ball got by Posey and Phillips decided to go for 3rd).

    Bailey took a no hitter into the 6th. He's really on a roll.

    Reds have a decision with Cueto. If he can't go this series, they'd normally want to replace him, but they'd have to put him on the DL and then he'd be out for the NLCS. IMO, they have to roll the dice and keep him on the roster.

    Seth Smith with a solo home run, he is clutch like Eli, who he was the back up qb behind him at Ole Miss.

    Cards put Garcia on the DL, meaning he's out for the NLCS if the Cards advance.

    The Reds did the same with Cueto in order to add Mike Leake to the active roster. He starts today.

    Nationals season may be going down the drain quite fast

    Chris Carpenter, a .118 career hitter, just doubled off the top of the wall off Jackson. He's now 2/2 today and 4/7 lifetime against Jackson.

    That ball was smoked.

    Bochy just pulled Zito in the third inning.

    It's 3-2 Giants.

    Talk about a quick hook.

    Giants force a Game 5 thanks to some hitting and Lincecum pitching well out of the bullpen.

    Four more games scheduled for tomorrow. one if necessary

    what a play for A's third baseman Josh Donaldson

    he dives into foul territory to field a hard hit grounder, then throws the runner out at first from his knees!

    Oakland with a walkoff 4-3 win!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Breakfast cereal with a 2 out RBI single to drive home Smith. The Detroit RF couldn't field the ball (typical Tigers), so there was no play at the plate.

    :lol: they got the pie in the face and the gatorade bucket during the postgame interview. Coco is talking to the woman, and reddick brings the pie. Then while he's covered in it, boom, here comes the orange gatorade.

    He spent the rest of the interview trying to get pie off his face.
