The Franchise shows how

For a night, the Giants looked like the team that used to go the postseason all the time against a team that probably WILL go the postseason.

Tim Lincecum kept the Dodgers looking demoralized through seven shutout innings before he faded quickly in the 8th. I just watched Steve Lyons whine on the local Fox Sports Network about how the ump had "squeezed" pathetic Dodger starter Eric Stults, when the fact is that Stults isn't a particularly good pitcher given that he gave up 5 runs and couldn't even get out of the 3rd inning against the worst offense in MLB.

My theory is that Bengie Molina's continuing to knock the crap out of the ball -- at least compared to his teammates -- is being aided by having Pablo Sandoval in the lineup. He now has 4 HRs and 18 RBIs. Since he's batting cleanup, he has a decent shot at 100 RBIs for the first time in his career.
