Thankfully the Phils started their Triple A guy lol

Comparing Pilar to the terrible as a Giant Rowland made me turn down the sound

Pillar had his team-leading 60th RBI today, Gennett had a double and another home run and Yaz the Younger had a home run.  Longoria had three hits, Pillar Gennett and YtY had two hits.  Pillar's triple knocked in the seventh run.  Slight down note, Slater was 0 for three with three K's.

Watson came in in the seventh to load the bases and get the last out.  Giants pitchers gave up ten walks.  Will Smith, in his first major league plate appearance, singled to knock in two runs to make it 9-6, which was the final score.

BTW, A-Rod, who I'm really starting to enjoy, says AT&T Park is the most enjoyable, all-around experience in baseball.  Matt Vasgersian disagreed, slightly, but they also both admired the culture of the franchise.  They liked the fact that the Giants celebrate and retain the old-timers, including today's 30th celebration of the 1989 team.

And I remember Hank's call like it was yesterday: "And twenty-seven years of waiting have come to an end!"  I was born two weeks after McCovey hit a liner into Richardson's glove, so it was the first Giants pennant I ever saw.  And first Earthquake World Series, too...
