Wilson Gets it Done, Giants Avoid Sweep

Great win for the Giants tonight.  Getting swept in a four game series at home would have been brutal – though there is no doubt the Mets are by far the better team.

I wasn’t at the game, so I can’t say for sure – but based on ESPN’s camera work, it appeared that Wilson did NOT give his patent “X” move after completing the save.  If that’s the case, thank goodness somebody finally pulled him aside and talked some sense into him.  For the record, Wilson faced the bottom of the Mets order for tonight’s save.  So I don’t think we can conclusively say he has officially put the most recent meltdowns to bed.  But it was an encouraging outing.

Boy, Affeldt is tough.  After getting into a runners on second and third with no out situation in the top of the eighth, he somehow works his way out of it with a double play.  Other than Lincecum, I think he’s the most mentally tough pitchers on the team.

I’m really happy that Cain is off to such a great start.  Everybody who has watched the Giants generally feels like Cain wasn’t *quite* living up to his potential the last two years.  This is the kind of pitcher Giants fans thought / hoped he could become.  You know Lincecum is going to put together a couple of big winning streaks.  If Cain keeps rolling and either Randy or Jonathan Sanchez can just win half their games…
