The 5th 8-run come back in franchise history, and I was equally surprised to see all such comebacks have come on the road.  You would think that's more of a home team thing to do.

I read the McCovey Chronicles re-cap of the game and was heartened to see Beede didn't pitch nearly as poorly as the runs allowed indicate.  he was consistently throwing 95+, the Reds didn't hit him very hard, and on of the HRs he allowed was apparently an out in every other stadium.

If the Giants are as into numbers these days as it seems they are I don't think Beede gets sent down to Sac just because of this really odd outing. He really deserves another start before considering that option, IMO.
