Walk Off

Eugenio Velez just sent Giants fans home happy with a one out single in the bottom of the ninth. Brian Wilson gets the win after giving up a game-tying two-run homer in the top of the inning. Arizona is continuing to skid, while the Dodgers will hold a 2 1/2 game lead if they can hold their 6-2 advantage over San Diego.

Barry Zito started for the Giants and his line was pretty good - six innings, five hits, two runs, but most impressively, nine strikeouts. He was lifted for pinch hitter Bengie Molina in the sixth with the team down 2-1. Molina proceeded to tie the game with a single.


It has been difficult to be a Giants fan these last several years - losing records, injuries, and bad contracts. We may be critical - but we stand by our team through good times and bad. The Giants remain one of the most storied franchises in the history of baseball and have a crop of new stars ready to add new pages to the Giants history books. Lincecum, Cain, Sanchez, Wilson and Sandoval are giving us reasons to be excited. Times may not always be stellar, but the Giants always give us something to talk about.
