Thrill-an-Inning Giants Somehow on Cusp of Fall Classic

Filed under: Giants, Phillies, MLB Playoffs, National League Championship SeriesSAN FRANCISCO -- America, meet the Giants, the best programming you are going to find on the fall television schedule.

Your impression of the Giants is likely that they have great pitching and a modest lineup full of guys that no one else wanted or high-paid players past their prime. While all that is true, there is clearly something different going on at this waterfront ballpark with the garlic fries and the giant Coke bottle.

The Giants, who didn't even secure a spot in the postseason until the final out of the entire major league schedule was recorded, are now one win away from defeating the Phillies, the two-time defending National League champions and the consensus favorite to win the World Series.

They took a commanding 3-1 lead in the NLCS with a thrilling 6-5 victory on Wednesday night, in a game built on on an impressive laundry list of heroes.
