Giants Win!

The San Francisco Giants made something of a hash of the second half of the regular season, but managed to squeak into the post-season, barely making it to the one-game wild card playoff with the New York Mets. Both teams trotted out their ace pitchers, and the game was a real pitchers' duel. Then in the top of the ninth inning, Conor Gillaspie (who he?) hit a 3-run home run to break the game open. Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner held the Mets scoreless in the bottom of the ninth for a complete-game shutout and their ticket to the main playoffs. After the celebrate tonight (probably not that hard), they go on to Chicago where they face the Cubs in the National League Division Series.

It's an even-numbered year. You gotta believe!

Congratulations. It was a helluva game. Great pitchers duel, just the way I like them. You guys wore out our ace, and Bumgarner was a rock. He's something special. I'd wish you best of luck, but now that my Mets are out, I'm rooting for the Cubs. It's time they broke their curse, though I hope the Giants make it a 5-game series.

Your ace was a motherlovin' DEMON out there. I was very glad to see the number of Giants fans complimenting him in response to his post-game tweet (which in itself was poetry).
