What are the chances.....


that the giants actually catch the Dodgers?  Right now the giants sit 5.5 games back of the dodgers and I've heard so many fans and sports reports say that the dodgers are safe if they put just one good week together. We have roughly 30 games remaining  with 21 of those games involving felllow National League West Teams.  I'm sure the dodgers have just as many of their games left in the west too(I didn't check)I want to believe very much that we can overtake the dodgers but Ive watched games that the giants are suppose to win actually lose. The west is tough and the padres and diamondbacks are not going to let us just stroll in and win just ask the the dodgers who lost to arizona recently(OH I LOVED IT). Does it bother anyone else about the thome/penny signgings because It also amazes me that the dodgers who have hitting went out and got another hitter and the giants who have no hitting but great pitching went out and got another pitcher..hmmm. I guess teams stick to what works but does Thome put the dodgers as untouchable now?  I just want to know what everyone's feelings are right now at this point in the season. Does the majority think we will overtake them, win the wildcard or simplly crash and burn?

IIRC.....

Dodgers remaining schedule is exceptionally weak.

Plotting the ultimate demise of Gore51 (never met him, I dunno he could be swell) so as to adopt Kyle Nicholson.

Why not?

the giants and rockies pass up l.a.

and then we’ll have a dodger-less post-season. Hey now!
