    As always, no PBP in the thread. If you need that try one of the game cast sites. Keep discussion to this series. If it is not about this series it goes somewhere else.

    8-28 Matt Cain, RHP vs. Bud Norris, RHP 7:05 on FSH

    8-29 Barry Zito, LHP vs. Dallas Keuchel, LHP 7:05 on FSH

    8-30 Ryan Vogelsong, RH vs. Jordan Lyles, RHP 7:05 on FSH

    I dont see any wins in this series either. I do look forward to see if Parades can get into a game.

    Coming from Giants fan perspective, I'm actually pretty nervous for this series. Around the same time last year, Astros took 2/3, I believe. Anything can happen in baseball, and the Giants better not underestimate.

    Lopez has given up the winning run in two consecutive games now. 2 losses and a blown save.

    The one guy in the pen who is truly proven. It isn't like he is getting lit up though. Its why guys with great K stuff are so valuable, which isn't Lopez's game. Not as easy to escape once you've made a mistake.

    There were cheers for every Giants hit. Bigger cheers for Hunter though. There might be more Giants fans than Astros fans in the ballpark tonight. Wallace's double didn't even get much audible applause.

    PS - Thank you Brad Mills for never batting Wallace against lefties. He obviously can't hit them. :rolleyes:

    Scott Moore makes Chris Johnson look like a gold glover.

    Giant fans are all over the place. For instance, San Diego has been known to be the home away from home for the Giants.
