PHILLIES 4 - GIANTS 2On a wet and sloppy night, the San Francisco Giants played a wet and sloppy game. The game came down to two crucial plays, Roy Halladay's bunt that wasn't foul and Aubrey Huff's 2 run error. The Giants' inability to take advantage of scoring opportunities was another part of problem last night.
It's amazing to me how the Giants, for probably the 50th time this season, can knock a pitcher around (they had at least 10 baserunners against Halladay) yet can fail to score more than 2 runs. You can't credit Halladay, he was not very good last night. It's also not as if we haven't seen this kind of offensive performance before from the Giants.
Timmy was pretty good last night. He allowed 3 runs, two of which were earned, on 4 hits and a walk.Huff's error led to all three Phillie runs and, other than a solo homer in the top of the ninth from Jayson Werth, would account for all of the Phillie's offense.

The Giants have shown a knack for bouncing back from games like this all season. the series goes back to Philadelphia with the Giants leading 3 games to 2. I predicted that the Giants would win in 6 and with Jonathan Sanchez on the hill that looks like a pretty good bet right now.
This off day comes at a good time. I really need it! I don't think I can take another game like the ones we have been seeing lately so I think I'm gonna go totally baseball free today.
