Just thinking about the San Francisco Giants these days makes my heart race. Currently in the midst of a wild playoff chase, the Giants could play beyond the first week of October for the first time since 2003. With the G-men and the San Diego Padres continuously passing each other for first place in the National League West, this last week of the season has all the makings to be crazy!
Every day, I await the Giants' next game. Every day, I obsessively stalk ESPN.com's MLB page to see the latest scores and updates from across the league. Every day, I wonder who will slip and who will shine. Two teams have officially secured their spots in the playoffs. Four others have all but sealed the deal. That leaves two spots, both in the National League. Three teams: the Giants, Padres, and Atlanta Braves are duking it out to see who will make the postseason.
After an off-day Monday, the Giants play host to the Arizona Diamondbacks for three games. The D-backs may be in last place in the NL West, but the last time they came to San Francisco, they embarrassed the Giants, winning two out of three. Following the Snakes, the Padres come into town for potentially the most important series of the entire season. Three games to decide who will represent the NL West in the playoffs. The whole season, boiled down to a short-lived but enduring three game set.
For now, we wait. We wait for what seems like ages until that next Giants baseball game.
