Biggest inning of the year

What a strange game today -- in a good way, of course. It's the 62nd vic of the year so one more will keep the Giants from being the second SF team to lose 100 games. With 20 games left, it's looking like they will wind up somwhere between 69-93 to 72-90. Yes, it's 4th straight losing season for the Orange and Black. Note to Bill Neukom -- if you're reading this, you need to fire Brian Sabean NOW.

In any case, it's a delight to see names like Schierholtz, Burris, Sandoval and Ishikawa in the middle of the biggest rally of the year. After being no hit for the first three innings today, here's what the Giants did in the 4th --
