4 Games to Go...

A lead off home run off the guy for whom we switched the rotation around to get an early start puts fans in kind of a grumpy mood. For this particular fan, it gets me flashing back to game six of the 2002 World Series and the last day of the 1993 season, then mumbling and blinking a lot.

Luckily, the Diamondbacks know how to strand runners. Really, they're just awesome at it. To the point of it being an art form.

And luckily, Pat the Bat, also.

Worried about Lincecum's hiccup to start the game? Or maybe Posey being 1 for his last 10? Or the Giants turning into a team who loses unless they hit a home run? Don't be bothered with such trivialities. Comes with the torture. Just take the win. We only need three more. Take it to go with a side of Padres loss. Oh, they're all out of that? Not a problem, wins are still delicious on their own.
