Fun fifth win in the 11th featuring the youth.

Ford knocks a single and steals second (as if everyone didn't see that coming) leading to a Buster Posey walk to setup the force followed by a knock to right field, by Burress.  What followed was both highly entertaining (unless your a A's fan) and indicative of Giants baseball at the moment. Darren Ford turned on the after burners and from second base just beat out a throw from right filed to win the game, in the 11th inning.  This was the 13th victory at home for the Giants of 18 home games, the 11th by one run and the 7th by walk off.  The whole team has stepped up to contribute when it matters most, just not at the same time, such that the team wins comfortably.  I'm not sure if it qualifies as torture yet, but I am in.
