Dodgers at Giants, Top of the Eighth

Dodgers up, facing Timmy!

Two pitches and two hits. It may be time to yank 'im. Bullpen only just wakes up after three more pitches.

That change up hadn't been touched all game. He was fooling Furcal with it too until that last one. The bat broke into 4 different pieces but the ball fell soflty inside of the left field line for a double as it spun into the giants bullpen area. One run scores. 

Manny faces off against Tim. The majors' best hitter and pitcher. Runners on second and third with no out. Walks him.

Lincecum still gets to walk off to a standing ovation. Let's hope he doesn't end up with 4 runs on his record for this game. He deserves better.

Jeremy Affeldt steps in and immediately induces a 5-3 double play. Uribe, at third, caught the ball on top of thirdbase and guns it two first. One run scores but two are gone. A worthwhile trade. Lincecum is on his feet, loving it.

Affeldt is throwing a killer curveball that is scaring Loney. But he's not throwing it much and the next batter, Brad Ausmus (in earlier for Martin) hits an RBI bloop single. Lincecum is not loving it. And here comes Brian Wilson.

Right down the pipe doesn't look as fat at 98mph; called strike two. Popped into the stands... NO! Uribe caught it! I almost missed it because I was so sure it was out of play. Great catch. Inning over.

DODGERS 3 GIANTS 7

I miss writing that zero already.
