Giants Tie Franchise Win Record; Need One More

 Not much else left to say about this season.  Giants tied a franchise record for wins with 106 and it looks like they are going to have to break that record to win the NL West.  They seem to be set up pretty well to do just that.  The offense took a hit with Belt's injury but the pitching, which hit a rough patch after the All-Star Break is coming back around just in time for a postseason run and hey, the pitching it tired all around the league.  Postseason is a crapshoot but is usually won by pitching and I like where the Giants pitching is right now.  

Congrats to Lamonte Wade Jr on winning the Willie Mac Award.  He's given Giants fans quite a few unforgettable moments this season and is a big part of why they are on the cusp of winning the NL West over one of the most talented rival teams I can remember.

  1. Can Wade learn to hit lefties, or is that just a thing some LHB's cannot do?

  3. Maybe Brewers will save the day.
    Giants have picked a bad time to stop (clutch) hitting.
    If you use MLB's last 7 for the offense player by player, you have to hope Webb throws a shutout tomorrow.
    Even if Milwaukee tries to win a game — they seem to be playing out the string expecting a major uptick against Atlanta, good luck on that — Giants' hitting does not bode well for a Divisional Series with anyone!
    Of course, baseball is a funny game, yesterdays do not predict tomorrows, and the Giants have been resilient.
    As Scarlett said, "After all, tomorrow is another day."
    Lets go Scarlett!
