diamond. when you start worried about tim lincecum here? >> he's about eight to nine starts in. there was a time a short while ago they called it wind day whenever tim lincecum took his turn on the mound. i think they're going to have to come up with something else. a victory nothing something you can count on when he pitches anymore. although he did not get the loss tonight he gives up four runs. didn't look that great but he needed a rally just to tie it and get no decision. cabrera into the right field corner. he has himself a two run double. the giant's deficit cut to 4-3. they get the clutch 2-out single off the bat of pagan. cabrera racing around third will just beat the throw from cargo in left. we're 4-4. but the fans settled down in a hurry at the top of the ninth. casilla tagged by marco scutero. his first wouldn't you know it,

first home run of the year. giants come in short end 5-4. down in southern california not a good time for a ball game. 4:00 in the afternoon, the shadows, the sun all that. felt more like siesa time for the a's. kind of lulled to sleep by the angels they get blanked. alberto callespo shot into the right field corner and josh redick doing it with the bat, with the glove and the arm here. that is just a beautiful throw to second base to keep him scoreless behind colon. next time callespo lays it into that same area down the right field line not going to have the good ending for redick as he juggles it out there. mike trout around to score. and the angels in the lead for good. you know about albert pujols, the horrible slump he's in. that little breaker today, three end field hit including that one off the glove of

colon. generously given a hit. 4-0 the final. the big three reduced by one and nothing adding up because of it for the heat without chris bosh. lebron and dwayne wade not enough. game one eastern semis look out for the pacers. they are not intimidated by miami. it came down to this, miami's mario chalmers with a chance to tie it with a three. no good. time runs out the pacers win game one 78-75 western semi. during the regular season they won 15 straight, tim was dunking. and that is a sporting life for a tuesday night. nothing doing for tim lincecum.
