ATLANTA (AP) The San Francisco Giants could not wait to get the champagne corks in celebration of eight years in the making pop.

the NL Division Series Monday night, so that the victory in San Francisco in the playoffs for the first time in a race at the 2002 World Series. Bobby's Songs! Bobby! Bobby! In the crowd at Turner Field was expected to be safe from whos Manager to Cooperstown end. The most moving gesture was by the Giants, the jump enough to Cox and the tip of the hat in their direction next applaud provided.
Hesa legend in the sport, second baseman Freddy Sanchez (notes), he said. He's been a great mentor to many people in sports. We show our respect. Had first. Then we could go celebrate.They certainly was correct. Twenty years, beat rookie Madison Bumgarner (Notes) six solid rounds. Final harvest season, Cody Ross (Notes) homered and produced the winning run with a single with two outs in the seventh inning. After all, the San Francisco bullpen a number that is tight and tense until the end. The Braves coaxed two walks from San Francisco to Brian Wilson (notes) in the bottom of the ninth, but were not as successful as mightve Cox's career includes at least one more game. Omar Infante (Notes) meet on a swing sharp and Melky Cabrera (Notes) a hit to third grounding routine.
When it was over. The Giants moved to the face twice by the National League champion Philadelphia in the championship series of the league. Cox was suspended in the last number six single parents. It's not like the last time I get the feeling, but it certainly is, he said, his voice cracking. I will not play again.Every was decided by a passage, but the Giants have won three of them make the most five series and a chance for a full, outside the Phillies game. Game 1 on Saturday in Philadelphia and a marquee match-winner, Cy Young, Tim Lincecum (white) vs. Roy Halladay (notes).
Lincecum beat the Braves with two hits, 14 strikeouts in Game 1 white. Halladay beat a no-hitter against Cincinnati in his playoff debut and won the Phillies began a sweep of the Reds.
They are great pitching, said Ross. It is very similar to what series.In the next round, the Giants will be a significantly higher education than what the Braves could muster face. You have to start not the strongest lineup and in the Series without two of their best hitter, Chipper Jones (white) and Martin Prado (notes), both with injuries of the season.
Atlanta hit .175 as a team and scored just nine points from four games.
Our pitching, I can not praise enough, said Ross. We found only a handful of races and won the series in four games. Just goes to show how are.Bumgarner has done its part so that only six hits and two runs. completed the victory as the Giants scored twice in the top half of the seventh, again with the help of some weak defense of Atlanta.
This time it was not Conrad Brooks (white) man who has committed three errors at the beginning of the game, yet not 3 Instead, shortstop Alex Gonzalez (Notes) two errors, the second a high shot that just came out of the bag Infante a force in the second round obligation.
Errors that will allow you to Ross on his plate, and he fell on a single to left field just out of reach Gonzalez put the winning run. Pat Burrell (notes) also tried to score but deported the plate to end the inning. Do not worry. A 3-2 lead was enough for the Giants bullpen.
Santiago Casilla (Notes) Study 2 3 January innings, Javier Lopez (Notes) Jason Heyward hit (notes) to the end of the eighth and Wilson got his second save in as many nights.
This series had everything, said Giants manager Bruce Bochy. Only the intensity and excitement of the series was exciting for the fans. There is never an easy time for Bobby and me have been because these games way.Atlanta owner Derek Lowe (notes) could be a no-hitter was in the sixth inning and was still not enough. The Braves are not yet to win at Turner Field with a series on the line, lose for the eighth time this right, the situation of the baseball Ted opened in 1997.
Cox is not the way to end this sequence, called it a career at the age of 69.
He goes to the rocker as the fourth manager to win in baseball history (2504 regular season wins), but a large gap in a disk, which is certainly good enough for the Hall of Fame. In 16 trips to Toronto playoffsone, covered with 15 teams BravesCoxs a World Series title in 1995.
A Braves fan carried a sign asking the team win for Bobby, but Ross and the Giants were not in the mood for sentimentality.
They were ready for the Chicago Bears jersey
party.
I did not really know what to expect, said Lincecum. Guys you say, but you do not know until it happens. Many swear that a lot of screaming, lots alcohol.Ross, which was acquired on the repeal of Florida in late August, has already paid big dividends in October. With a sixth in the inning, struck at San Francisco shirt struck first game barely cleared the wall in left field. Then, (white) to Brian McCann, the Braves put back in front with a homer of his own, Ross Hit back with the go-ahead.

It is not enough to extend the Cox race.
