SAN FRANCISCO — They got 'em right where they want 'em. As much as the St. Louis Cardinals have developed a never-say-die reputation the past two seasons, the San Francisco Giants also have come up with winning performances on elimination's doorstep during these playoffs. On Sunday night in Game 6 of the NLCS, the Giants again play on the verge of the offseason. In the division series round against the Reds, the Giants dropped the first two games at home and went to extra innings to win Game 3 before stunning the Reds with a first-of-its-kind comeback. Right-hander Ryan Vogelsong said that turnaround, plus a few other times, most people considered the Giants a lost cause. "Everyone counted us out four or five times this year already," Vogelsong said in advance of his start in Game 6. "First when [closer Brian] Wilson went down. People said we couldn't do it. Then we lost Melky [Cabrera], unfortunately. People said we couldn't do it. The Dodgers made the big trade [for Adrian Gonzalez]. People said we weren't going to do it. We go down two games to Cincinnati, they said we're not going to do it." He makes some pretty good points, though the Giants always seemed to have enough...
