1. Eric Bedard was 1-2, walked, and scored twice.

He is a pitcher.

2. Ah, yes, that's always good to see

[Auggie]

3. A big 8th inning for the Giants ...

scored five runs for a come-from-behind win. A pinch hit ground rule double by Hector Sanchez and a 10-pitch at bat between Rafael Betancourt and Buster Posey (run scoring sacrifice fly) helped set up a three run homer by Hunter Pence, his first as a Giant.

4. tonight should be interesting

Many think this will be a preview of the NLCS....

5. NLCS?

I think the Nats will be playing somebody else.

The Giants are doing very well for a team whose ace pitcher has had year-long problems with mechanics and whose closer is out for the year, leaving a bullpen that is expert at blowing saves. I don't think they'll get past the division series, but getting that far would be an achievement for them.

6. Anything can happen in the playoffs

Giants have a big plus: they've been there before.
