If you thought Tuesday night's pitching matchup between David Price and Cliff Lee in the deciding game 5 of the ALDS, in which the Texas Rangers emerged victorious over the Tampa Bay Rays, prepare to be dazzled by Game 1 of the NLCS. If you love pitching, this game is for you.
San Francisco Giants ace Tim Lincecum will take the hill at Citizen's Bank Park against Philadelphia Phillies gunslinger Roy Halladay at 7:30pm tonight.
Halladay, who no-hit the Cincinnati Reds during Game 1 of the NLDS, is a career 0-2 with a 7.23 ERA in three games vs. the Giants. Although he lasted seven innings in his most recent start against San Francisco back in April, he surrendered five runs on ten hits for the loss.
Don't let those numbers fool you, Doc is gonna be all business tonight.
Lincecum, who struck out 14 Atlanta Braves during Game 1 of their NLDS, is 2-1 with a 3.17 ERA in seven career games against the Phillies. Big Time Timmy Jim didn't figure in the decision during his last outing against Philadelphia this season, when he went 8.1 innings and allowed two runs on three hits with 11 strikeouts and a walk.
First pitch is at 7.57pm ET. Enjoy.
By the way, this San Francisco Giants anthem kicks that other one's ass.

Soneone has to score a run eventually. I'm calling Buster Posey.
Just as advertised. What a game!
