I won't have it ... we are not the worst offense in baseball ... there's a team in Seattle!"<br /><br />I think that the actual quote is something like:<br /><br />"No ... no ... I won't have it ... this is not the worst-run hotel in all of England ... there's a place in Blackpool!"<br /><br />The Cardinals just lost, so, by the end of the evening, we could be one game behind them & 3 behind Atlanta.

But, the chances of the stars aligning to let us into the Wild Card (or into a playoff for the Wild Card) are not that far-fetched:<br /><br />- We are playing well. Sure, it will take another 8-game winning streak to give us a chance, but, as long as we avoid left-handed pitching, we get the Panda back in there.<br /><br />- Atlanta is really struggling. They are at Washington (not a gimme), then play Philadelphia at home. You could say that Philadelphia has nothing to play for, or you could say that the last thing that they want to do is go into the post-season giving away games.<br /><br />- St. Louis is almost as hot as we've been. They have one more against the suddenly hand-to-handle Mets. Then, 3 at home against the Cubs, their #1 rivalry. Then, 3 at Houston, who as we know first-hand, can be difficult.<br /><br />One day at-a-time, of course, but we can still make some serious noise.

I very much want the Giants to sweep them, not to keep hope alive, but so that Arizona knows that their "title" (if you can call it that in the western division) is a fluke, not an accomplishment. Let them celebrate against someone else if they must celebrate at all. And let their exit from the playoffs be as quick and painless as possible.Zonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-35406869986070263552011-09-22T07:37:17.905-07:002011-09-22T07:37:17.905-07:00It's funny: last season "torture" wa...It's funny: last season "torture" was the theme, it was ecstasy: the Giants won it all.<br /><br />This year's theme?
