the lead runner is buster posey, who started this with a double off bastardo. i thought initially that ball took a bad last hop, but in the replay i didn't see it. jeremy affeldt gets loose for the giants. the 1-0. strike 1. philadelphia has three left in the pen. kendrick is their long reliever, brad lidge, who is the closer, and the lefty, ramirez. they used contreras, durbin, and now madson. blanton couldn't go five, the starter. the 1-1. 95 miles an hour. strike 2. >> tim: that's about the same spot where sandoval got his double to drive in the go-ahead run, the tieing and go-ahead run his last at-bat, that high fastball. >> joe: bases loaded, one out. the 1-2 pitch. 2-2. the high heat and the change-up, it bounces in and the count evens. mike fontenot on deck. the pitcher's spot is next. down the left-field line. foul. the 2-2 pitch. sandoval last night grounded into his 26th double play. he's obviously a big guy and his weight and something that he and the giants are trying to fight. they want him on the field. a guy who last season hit .330. down to .268

and makes the grab to take a hit away from buster posey. mean time, it's that guy cody ross, the first hit of the night for the giants off roy oswald. a home run. tying things up 1-1. oswald just made it a little too good like roy halladay did last night twice to this guy and he pulls the giants. and that's as good as it gets as it is polanco again in the inning with a shot down the line in the fifth he has himself a double. he moved to third on another fly ball. and then polanco probably the best hitter they could have up in that situation. great contact hitter. and deep enough on the fly ball to get the run in and the phillies ahead for good, 2-1. adding to it in the seventh it's that man polanco, base hit. roy oswald who singled goes right through a stop sign in safely just beating the relay flow from aubrey huff and phillies their lead and put it away here. bases loaded out of the alameda kid, jimmie rollins, everybody is going to score. a three-run double and you had to figure with the philly pitching the way it was going, this game wa

then buster posey the insurance. makes it 3-0. and brian wilson with smoke for will venable to close this thing out finally, 3-0, as the giants win the west. really a combination of elation and relief as the giants are divion champs for the first time since 2003. mike shumann now joins us live champagne-drenched at the ballpark. >> mike: ite known as the artful dodger in the locker room, so i avoided most of us. it too162 games to decide the national league west champion, and happens to be our n francisco giants. this is what these guys feel like when they win. ere was so much excitement.

buster posey, the big home run. and aubrey huff has never been to the playoffs in his ten-year career. i asked him what it felt like. >> we knew it would come down to this. man, i don't have the words. >> don't know what's going to happen. we win this game, going to be huge for us. we won the game and then running to the fans. they're amazing fans. i love the people here. >> a great feeling. we battled. always never give up. and it's been a blessing. and thanks to the town for supporting us. >> mike: i tell you what it's a great feeling we haven't felt this since 2003. we will have more from the champagne-drenched clubhouse later in sports. abc-7 sports. >> larry: looks like a great scene. the giants open the postseason on thursday against the braves. the party is just beginning. the party is just beginning. >> alan: a lot of tough games ahead to get to the world series. >> larry: let's take this right now. they're in the playoffs. enjoy it. >> alan: thanks, larry. the victory party continues outside of at&t park. t

buster posey and sandoval colliding. they both stayed in the game. two on, two out for pat burrell. you can tell it is goodbye. three-run home run for pat's bat. 3-0 giants on top. giants led 4-1 in the 8th. but sergio romo allowing back- to-back singles. bruce went to wilson for the final six out. instead gives up two-run double to gonzalez. bases loaded in the 10th inning for buster posey but the rookie who has come through time and time again can't deliver. he hits into the inning ending double play. the giants scored just one run over the final 10 innings and the braves capitalize in the 11th. look at the former pitcher turning on a fastball. home run went into the water. and the braves stun the giants 5-4 to even the series at one game a piece. okay, kim coyle and i were both in the locker room and, kim, the braves have come back 47 times to win games. that is the most in the national league. the stunner, though, they did it against a rock solid giant bull pen. >> coming into the game tonight the giants bull pen hadn't given up a run in 24 games but i spoke with derrek lee afte

some people don't get it buster posey, what does that mean? the people that know the players are like, buster posey, oh, my. >> we know you will be busy making lots of doughnuts for a while. >> if you want to check out psycho donuts, it's in campbell at the intersection of winchester boulevard and campbell avenue. we want to thank you for joining us today. we will be back with you live and early tomorrow morning.

buster posey likely to be rookie of the year in the national league. he adds a home run. the giants beat the padres, final score today on the final day of the regular season, 3-0. here is the nice scene after the game before they went into the clubhouse. they spent about 15 or 20 minutes on the field celebrating with the fans. you don't see these kind of things too often. in fact to that point, this is a young team that is so happy to be in the postseason. >> amazing. feeling right now. >> to win on the last possible game of the season, it couldn't be more of an emotional game even if we won a friday or saturday. probably the best feeling and scenario we could have had. >> we did a hell of a job keeping in this thing and fighting and getting to where we are. >> to be able to contribute all yearlong on a team like this, a great group of guys, i've never been a part of an organization like this. >> pretty remarkable. matt cain, brian wilson, and there at the end aubrey huff, everyone fired up ready to go. but now the work begins. tomorrow the giants have the day off, and th

buster posey with the bases loaded hit into the inning-ending double play. the very next inning in the top of the 11st, this is how the game ended. rick ankiel, a solo home run off of ramon ramirez and that was the game winner. the braves do this all season long. they've come from behind to win games and they do it tonight. 5-4 is your final. a splash landing for rick ank l ankiel. it's a best of five series, now tied at 1-1. okay so what happens next for the giants now. sunday afternoon in atlanta is game three. sunday in atlanta is game three. jonathan sanchez will be pitching for the giants against atlanta's tim hudson. now, if giants lose game three in atlanta on sunday, game four is monday. will bochy go with tim lincecum on just three days rest? we'll go inside the clubhouse. but right now, as we it's the beauty of baseball. game three on sunday. guy, let's send it back to you. >> getting to the gail when it's right here can set you back a little bit, but it's doable. but getting to a game in atlanta? how to get to game three without busting your walle

buster posey sliding into second base here. the television replays clearly show that buster posey was out and the second base umpire saw differently. the giants didn't complain at all. they ended up scoring the game's only run. rookies do this once in a while, good thing there is no instant replay. it's true. >> he was honest. >> very honest. a blown call like this leads to a lot of controversy and bitter feelings. with the braves, they moved on and maybe it was the southern manners. >> it was a tough break, but these guys wanted to win the game. it's not a make or break deal. >> this stuff happens. it's a bang, bang play. unfortunately it didn't go our way. >> very nice. the atlanta braves being honest. it didn't go our way, but we move on to game two. as jessica said, big daddy. >> that's right. the game obviously as we just were talking about it, matt is 26 and a right hander. yes indeed he has been strong down the stretch. the team in fact has won seven of his past eight starts. the only downside we remember that was last f

posey playing for the single a giants. a little over a year later playing on baseball's biggest stage, the major league play- offs. >> it's pretty cool, that's all we're talking about me and my wife yesterday. this is my first year up here and we are going to the play- offs and we got a chance to do something special so it's awesome. >> you just go in and have fun with it and you know you can do the same thing we have been doing for the past couple of months and just play like it's your last game. we're playing hard. >> reporter: now, the other big story of course in the giants starter tonight i have to show you this actually dana king gave this to me, it's tim lincecum and these shirts have become -- they are beautiful shirts and they have become big sellers. of course, dana king got hers for free. but in any case, tim lincecum will be on the hill for san francisco tonight. his father a pitching coach in his own right has given his son a lot of good advice. >> you know, just always said to go have fun. i mean, more so tha
