One more victory and The San Francisco Giants win the N.L. West

[Auggie]

With a magic number of 2 and their next three games against the Padres, all it will take is one more win.

San Francisco beat Arizona this afternoon 4-1.

1. They are still playing baseball. I thought the season ended last month.

:wtf:

[Upton]

2. I'm not celebrating yet..

after all, I'm a lifelong Giants fan. I sort of wish they weren't playing San Diego now, because head to head is about the only chance the Padres have left.

7. Like Cleveland losing three straight to Boston in the 2007 ALCS

Anything can happen

3. If the Giants win tomorrow, do they play the other 2 games then?

Seems that would be unfair to the ticket holders if not, lol, so they must play.

I sure wouldn't want to be a Padres fan (or player) if that's the case. Although I guess at that point the Padres are battling for the Wild Card, so I guess the games still matter.

Would the Giants be soft and let them win those games? I think the Giants might do better against the Padres than the Braves.

Well it's fun to watch anyway. Great season for Giants fans!

10. The Padres may still be playing for the NL wild card then.

So the games may still matter to them and Atlanta.

4. I thought the Giants had already won.

Giants repeat as Cal League champions

Juan Perez tripled and scored the go-ahead run in the 10th inning as the San Jose Giants edged the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, 7-6, to win their second straight Cal League championship.

5. You think Ubaldo is still going to win 30 games?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

11. Now THAT was impressive!

The SJ Gigantes only qualified for the playoffs by winning the first half (a common practice in the low minors). During the second half, they were O's/Buccos-style cellar-dwellers. Yet somehow they sucked it up and got it done! :bounce:

P.S. If the A's don't move to SJ, the Giants should use the stadium site, or most of it, to build a park for their AAA affiliate, presently in, um, Fresno.

8. The Frisco kids won something??

[El Supremo]

9. You know it was very interesting...

how Ken Burns' Baseball, the Tenth Inning, went out of the way to mention that even Barroid Bonds couldn't bring a championship to Frisco.

16. The only time I ever rooted for the Angels...lol.

THINK BLUE
GO DODGERS
BEAT THE HATED GIANTS

[KamaAina]

12. It should have happened tonight

In this, the Season of the Blown Calls, behind only Joyce robbing Galarraga of the only milestone he ever would have had, was a midseason game even the Mets admitted we should have won. Remember that if they pull a '78 Boston Massacre-style choke job. :scared:

13. Congrats to SF

now let's see if they can beat a 55 year old curse and win it for their hometown fans.

14. San Fran and Cincy Fans

Very well done this season, hope you make it far. Can I get a little something for beating your division race opponents in back to back weeks giving you the golden opportunity to clinch?? It doesn't have to be a lot just maybe a loose strand from your jerseys?? I want to remember what hard-work and determination feel like.

Signed,

The Chicago Cubs

[Jack Rabbit]

15. Thanks, Cubs

Better luck next year.

You know, my Dad died at the age of 98 in November. During his lifetime, there were two World Wars, the first trans-oceanic air flights and what Moon landings there have been to this date.

But in his 98 years of walking this earth, the Cubs never won the World Series. Well, it's time they did.

17. "Torture..."

Duane Kuiper calls play-by-play on Giants television and occasionally radio. He called watching the Giants "torture" back in spring or early summer. Seems so much more appropriate than the official AT&T Park slogan, "There's Magic Inside."

"There's Torture Inside"
