i want to say just the messenger nothing to do with it. of course giants fans could love to re-live last year. and unfortunately it looks like they might be doing just that. remember how it started out in 2010, completely unable to beat the dodgers or padres it seemed. here we go gwen southern california's has brought that on. 1-0 for san auto diego in the third. nobody out and torres. and then fred sanchez down on strike after a walk fills the bases. buster posey will cap it back to the mound. actually got jobbed on a couple of bad calls by the umpire. could have been a bases loaded walk. no-go. padres come back in their half of the third. up 2-1. a little bouncer back to the mound. and the error and that's the way it's going. they add one for the 3-1 lead. and no scoring from then on

the grounds. how do you explain that? the run scores. and the jays come from a 5-0 deficit to tie it 5-5. the top of the 10th the as hammer their second shot in the green and gold. 6-5 lead. but in comes grant ballefor because andrew bailey wasn't available. it is effect bar going deep and the walk-off. and the jays come out with the 7-6 win. >> every now and then you get a nice little full
