Hey look at that! A decisive win!

No dodged bullets.



No sweating it out.



Sure Lackey made it a little more interesting than it needed to be but did you REALLY think the Sox were going to lose?



Nope.



So Lackey becomes a 12 game winner and has a shot to win 15 games this year... and his ERA will be over 5.



And I don't care. Would I rather have a lucky winner or a hard luck loser?

I'd rather have the wins piling up.



AND with the Yankees losing and the fact that it will take just a tie with the Yankees to win the Division...



THE MAGIC NUMBER IS 35!

THE PLANETS ARE ALLIGNING FOR THE GIANTS

The Padres have lost a comical 10 games in a row.
The Phillies got bombed early and the Brewers let their early lead stick.
Even the Braves lost.

Things are lining up in a way where Giants fans wouldn’t dare dream.
No need for a dream now.

Focus Giants…
If Jonathan Sanchez and the Giants can beat Hiroku Kuroda and the Dodgers… the Giants will be 2 games back in the loss column for both the West AND the Wild Card going into Labor Day.

You want meaningful games in September? The Giants are 3 games back in the loss column of having home field advantage in the Division Series!

Stay focus Giants… an alignment doesn’t happen like this every year!
