Oswalt Evens NLCS 1-1

Oh Roy was that good or what? It only took us 2 runs scored without any hits with RISP to win this game! The wonders of dominant pitching. Again there were some inconsistent calls that I'm sure all San Francisco fans will look at in detail as all of Philly did last night. Here's some advice: just suck it up and take it as it is. Human Element!

Cody Ross still loves hitting against us and remains the sole source of power for the Giants. Lots of inconsistent strike zones called by this umpiring crew. And a complete change of game by the Phillies.

As stressful as it seems this team only reacts some great things happened last night. It was almost like the Phillies went through different stages after each inning. It began with letting Sanchez's mistakes give us a run. Then we played a little small ball to score our second run. Double, Sac, Sac. Nothing wrong with that.

The bats were kind of dead for a good stretch, but the 7th blew it open for the Phillies. Roy Oswalt practically said "Fuck this shit lets get in gear" by upstaging his pitching performance with a single, only to get bunted over by Victorino.

Yeah, that's right. Victorino batted Oswalt over. Register that while Utley gets IBB'd, Polanco rips a single, and Oswalt ignores Perlozzo's sign to score sliding.

Howard struck out in a decent AB while Utley and Polanco performed a doublesteal. This allowed Bruce Bochy to walk Werth and put Casilla against our lackluster MVP SS. Thank you! J-Roll put on his best NLCS '09 impersonation and ripped a double to the right wall, practically inches short of a grand slam. Ryan Madson pitched a shaky, but scoreless, 9th inning after Roy Oswalt convinced Charlie Manuel to let him finish the 8th.

We have a day off before Cole Hamels returns to the NLCS. Can he finally contain Cody Ross?
