The Rocks are out of it and San Diego has had our number all season if not longer
But, things are getting very strange -
The Giants are one ahead of the Padres for the NL western division title. The Padres are tied with Atlanta for the wild card.
If Atlanta wins tomorrow and San Diego wins, the Giants play San Diego on Monday for the division title but all three are tied on the last day? Who gets the wildcard berth? Whoever loses the playoff game (considered a regular season game) is now percentage points behind Atlanta.
My head is spinning!
The Giants have a long history of breaking my heart going back to the 1962 World Series (McCovey lines to Richardson with two out and Matty Alou on third and Willie Mays on second with two out in the bottom of the ninth and down by one run).
sigh
But I will tell ya, this team has no real established position player stars but it may be my favorite Giants "team" of all time. It is a great bunch of overachievers (and underachievers) with an excellent pitching staff. This team was 7 and 1/2 games back in August.
It has been a fun season.
