It wasn't as dramatic as 1951, but the Giants did indeed pull the upset by knocking off the Phillies 3-2 last night. It was nice to see the faces of Phillies fans after the game.
Cody Ross, with 3 home runs, was named MVP and deservedly so. He belted 2 home runs off Roy Halladay in Game One and that set the tone for the series.
I also liked how last night San Fran skipper Bruce Bochy brought Tim Lincecum into the game in the 8th inning. Although Lincecum is a starter and not used to a relief role, Bochy went with his best pitcher to get to Brian Wilson. I also thought it was a smart move to take Lincecum out after he struck out the first batter then gave up back-to-back singles. Wilson got the 5-out save.
Bochy wasn't thinking, "Well, if we lose we have a Game 7." He was thinking, "I have a chance to win the damn pennant, I'm going for it."
