wise. i had to dial it back. gave myself chills. i don't know if it was because the crowd was so loud. all of these things that kind of play into this situation. but yeah, i actually was a little surprised. sunday night, the giants they were flat lining. tonight, the giants showed nothing but the fact that they're all about heart. bouncing back, big time to even things up with cincinnati in the afternoon game. angel pagan had opened the game with a home run. later, and they're offense just continued to roll when he produces. an rbi shot to the gap in right center. always hustling. turns it into a double. just a tad after that, pablo sandoval, who had three hits. this one blows the lid off. a ride into the river out there. a two run shot. 8-3 lead, and the story today, tim lincecum. he came in, in relief.
