^ Ditto. It was never of course doubting the Giant pitching, just the putrid line-up that has to scratch to put three runs together. Great pitching is fine, but you simply do not win a lot of games scoring 3-4 runs anymore...and certainly not usually in the playoffs where you're facing teams that are more well-balanced than the other 90%.
Simple fact was SF put together just enough 4 times and the Phillies bats were pathetic...although SF pitching didn't help them either.
Can't take anything away from SF though. winning 4-2 is winning 4-2.
