One dozen

The 97-53 Giants have twelve games left to play. There are three in San Diego starting tomorrow: Tuesday and Wednesday nights (7:10 starts) and Thursday afternoon (12:45). They go to Colorado after that for three: Friday (5:30), Saturday (5:10), and Sunday (12:10). Monday the 27th is an off-day. They come home for the final six: three against the Diamondbacks (Tue-Thu) and three against the Padres (Fri-Sun). All times Pacific.

The 96-54 Dodgers are one game back. They have the same setup: six on the road, an off-day on the 27th, and six at home. They go to Colorado and Arizona and then see the Padres and the Brewers to finish it.

The NL West will get decided on the final weekend: October 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. If there is a Game 163 it will be in San Francisco on Monday, October 4th. Can you imagine if it came to that? There are not enough drugs in the world to cope with such a thing!

This incredible season is in its final go-round. This magical team has given us thrills all summer long. They are 13-5 (.722!) so far in September. Can you believe it has come down to this? Can you handle this absolutely epic pennant chase? I don't know if I can, I'm about to pass out just thinking about it!

We were fortunate on our road trip to follow the Giants closely and watch a lot of games.There were some wild games, man. It's just going to get wilder.

GO GIANTS!

The Giants have lefty Bruce Maxwell at AAA. He has over 100 games ML experience with Oakland (2016-2018). There's Joey Bart, too.

This team has lost a lot of good players because there are not enough spots on the 40-man roster. That's a good problem to have!
