Pitcher, even though weve seen pretty much fastball, curveball out of the bullpen. And that fastball, 97, strikes out pence. Tim the fastball is easy to understand, that young strength, only 22 years old. But he taught him self the knucklecurveball. He is certainly the future of the st. Louis cardinals, along with a lot of other righthanded arms that they have down in that bullpen. Joe three of them they are giving great experience to this postseason. Shelby miller, joe kelly, who has worked in this game, and trevor rosenthal. Strike 1 on the inside corner to brandon belt. The guy warming up in the bullpen, lance lynn, an 18game winner. Hes only 25. Heres the 01. Jammed him, right side. Descalso has to wait and craig got back to the bag to receive the throw for the out. 70, into the seventh. Back after this from your local fox station. Joe its the seventh inning of game seven of this National League championship series, and all giants here tonight. Marco scutaro, his sixth multiple hit game. Thats an lcs record. Sandoval has an rbi in five straight. The last game seven shutout. You see that score, 150 in 1996 when the braves beat the cardinals. Only two times in the history of the nlcs has a team down three games to one, come back to win in seven games. The 96 braves over the cardinals, the 03 marlins over the cubs, and the giants trying to add their team name to that list and win the first postseason game seven in a bestofseven series in franchise history here tonight. Kozma 0 for 2. Affeldt back to work. The count 12. Tim i guess if you are splitting harris, the giants did win a game seven in their history. It was back in 1921. But that was when the world series was the best five out of nine. Joe heres the 12. Kozma strikes out. One away here in the seventh. Tim talk about unsung heroes. Jeremy affeldt is one of them. I think hes throwing as well as hes thrown in a lot of years. You never know about injuries or anything like that, but jeremy has done a terrific job for the giants this year. Joe geico ingame box score for the cardinals, molina has three hits. Otherwise two other singles, no extra base hits for the cardinals. Shane robinson is batting for rosenthal, who threw two shutout innings. Allowed a hit, a walk, struck out four. Robinson so far in this postseason is 0 for 7. A breaking ball. He went. Strike 2. A strikeout for out number 2. No chance with that swing by shane robinson. Tim how about that shot, joe . Showing Jeremy Affeldt putting everything into that pitch. Joe heres jon jay, who has one of the five cardinal hits. Strike 1. Affeldt has retired all three hitters hes faced. Jay with a single, a strikeout and a groundout. Mitchell boggs gets loose. Good breaking ball has jay flinching, its 02. Ball 1. We talked about the cardinals throwing the 31 series lead to the braves with great pitching back in 1996. When they lost games five, six and seven, they lost 140, 31, 150. So one run scored for the cardinals the final three games in 96. If they are shutout here tonight, it will be one run scored in the final three games to blow that threegamestoone advantage here in 2012. Jay lays off that pitch in the dirt. 22. That was Tony La Russas game back in 96. Jay holds up. 22. Tim Tony La Russa that year replacing joe torre. Joe torre, 1996, Everybody Knows the manager of the new york yankees and they go on to win a world championship. Joe heres the 32. Jay takes a twoout walk and that didnt miss by much. It will bring in the switchhitting beltran with two out. Tim one thing about the cardinals, joe, in their long history, they have always been in it. They finished last since 1918, they finished last one time. Since 1990, Whitey Herzogs last year, joe torre took over the next year. Joe crawford hangs on, gets the out at second, and we are through 6 1 2 on a beautiful night in San Francisco. Carlos have left eight and been shutout through seven. We will take you back to the allstar game in kansas city. Matt cain, the starter and winner. Pablo sandoval with a threerun triple. And the formally suspended Melky Cabrera was the allstar mvp to give Home Field Advantage for the National League in this upcoming world series. And sandoval and cain right in the middle of all of it here in game seven, trying to get the giants there. It will start on wednesday night, and it could very well start here in San Francisco.

Joe tonights game is sponsored by joe Mitchell Boggs takes over for the cardinals. Another hardthrowing righthander. 70, giants lead, bottom of the seventh inning. Blanco, crawford and then the pitchers spot. Gregor in this game is 1 for 2 with a single, a walk, and a groundout. Ball 1. Tim there are fewer i should say few crowds in the mainly leagues that are as synchronized with the music on the scoreboard than these people in San Francisco. They know all the songs, they know all the moves to the dances. It is electric here at t park. Joe so is john miller down to our left. Hes down there dancing. Tim ahha. Joe the count goes to 30. They just played young mc. They have a blast here in the seats. Tim they really do. And with a chance to see the giants clinch. In 2010 all three series, the division, lcs and world series were clinched on the road. Joe 31 pitch. Blanco fouls it. Full count. Tim the lds this year launched on the road in cincinnati. This crowd refling in the fact that they may take part in a clinching series. Joe here is the 32 pitch. Over but no. A walk. Tim with the music i was trying to seque into the thirdbase coach tim flannery. Hes an accomplished musician. In fact he sang the National Anthem before one lcs game. Timmy, by the way, is holding a concert for brian stow, who was injured with an attack at Dodger Stadium about a year and a half ago. He had damage, and for the family timmy has already earned 60,000 for brian. He asked before the game if we would mention it, and we are proud to mention that he will be holding the fundraiser in january sometime near San Francisco. Joe glad you brought it up. Aubrey huff in the ondeck circle. Theres the 11. Outside, 21 from boggs. Flannery is one of the more unique coaches weve come across anywhere in the big league, and i can throw football in there, as well. This guy, he has had a ball over his years performing with the grateful dead and solo. Tim talk about a guy who loves to have fun. He takes his guitar on the road and plays in stairwells. And the reason for that, he said that stairwells have better acoustics than some opera houses. Joe heres a foul and the count full. Tim and we ran that by bruce bochy, and he said, you know, he got that from eric shell, a former pitcher with the San Diego Padres who used to do the same thing. Joe salas and rzepczysnki getting loose. Runner goes. Blanco heads to third and hes there with nobody out as beltran gets it back in. For brandon crawford, who has an rbi tonight, thats his first base hit. Tim so with blanco running, crawford signaling to right field, blanco going to third easily, and the giants with a chance to add on here in the seventh inning. Joe aubrey huff steps in. Ball 1. Affeldt went an inning and a third. Two strikeouts, one walk. No runs or hits. Casilla will be the next giants pitcher. Scooped up by molina. 20. Boggs has been behind every hitter. Strike 1. The 21 pitch. To the second baseman, descalso. A run scores. Out at second and out at first. Its 80 here in the seventh. No rbi for huff on the doubleplay ball and the bases are empty with two out, as blanco, who led off the inning with a walk, scores on the doubleplay ball. That will bring in angel pagan. Last time the cardinals overcame a deficit of this size, eight runs, it was in may of 2002 against cincinnati. That was during the regular season. They are down 80 and have not led havent led in games five, six, seven. They had a short lead in game four. Tim only six outs with which to work. Joe they got an early lead in game four. Won that game 83. Thats the last time they have been out in front. The offense tonight, only five hits, five singles against cain and affeldt. Hardhit base hit through the right side. And pagan has his second hit of the night. The giants second hit of the inning. Tim reaching out and hooking it into right field. Joe and that salute from angel pagan, and the intense brian wilson up 80. Heres scutaro. Two hits and a walk tonight. He takes a strike. Scutaro a part of the scoring in the first and a part of the fiverun third inning with a hit and a walk in that frame alone. Erin andrews, you have been watching brian wilson down there. I know you are fascinate bid that guy. Tim the beard, all of it, joe. I asked brian wilson, and hes not playing and not having a big role in all this, and he said i got over my injuries five days after it happened. Joe heres a base hit into center off the bat of scutaro. Hes on base for the fourth time tonight. Tim joe, he said he got over his injuries five days after it happened, and hes really enjoyed sitting here on the bench and watching all the stories unfold. The emergence of angel pagan, how blanco has done, cheering on his bullpen and, oh, by the way, putting on a show every night. Bruce bochy admits to us it is a little distracting sometimes. Joe here in San Francisco with no bullpen, those relievers are in the dugout. Bochy probably wants a little space. Salas coming in. Two on here in the home seven. I dont know what shape that is. But its not round. So why would headphones be round . They should be shaped like this. earshaped. You know. So they fit in your ears. Customer erin swenson bought so, im happy. Today. Sales go up.

Weve had showers before the game, sprinkles during the game, and heres salas. Sixth pitcher of the night for st. Louis. Two on, two out. Sandoval pops it up. Hes been going after the first pitch a lot. Thats nothing new. Free swinger. He fouls it away left side. Strike 1. Pablo has walked, lined out, doubled, scored a run, has an rbi groundout. That happened back in the first. The giants scored in the first inning. If the giants win, the team that scored first will win six of the seven games. And that would stand to reason with as good as these two bullpens are, get the lead early was a big part of the success game to game in this lcs. The count 02. Tim neither starter for either side went five innings in game one. The bullpens took over and showed how good they were going to be throughout this series. And they have been terrific. Joe here is an 02. Reaching for it and a ground ball to kozma. Drops it. Still struggling. Runner coming to the plate and out out to end
