SAN FRANCISCO–It’s interesting that the Giants have been able to hang on for 25 weeks and at least one day of a 26 week season competing against a team (the Dodgers) whose spent over $400 million on this year’s payroll on players to play for them and players not to play for them.

The Dodgers have players who have played for the Florida Marlins and players who have played for the everywhere else but they haven’t dominate to Giants to knock the Giants out. The Mets, Cardinals, Blue Jays, have won their division but the Dodgers have not been able to finish and they face the Giants starting Monday night.

If the Giants win Monday night they have a legitimate chance at having a shot at running the table and if they don’t win the first or second or third game with the Dodgers at AT&T Park their done. The Giants can’t worry about the next day they can’t worry about a win streak, they just have to worry about the game they play.
