Buccos win today and they are within 3 of the 1st WC!

Just get the Giants out of that other spot. Don't wanna see either Mad Bum or Cueto in a one and done.

If it was in Pittsburgh, it would be interesting seeing CUETO pitch.

If this season is destined to end up with a 4th straight wild card appearance, I do not want it to be in SF vs. Bumgarner. As of last night, the Dodgers passed SF and moved into 1st place for the first time in a long time. So SF now has a 3-game lead in WC race. We need them to win the West. I'd rather take my chances in LA than deal with Bumgarner again.

SF in a complete free fall right now at 9-20 since the All-Star break. It will be interesting to see if they can pull out of it, or just continue to collapse. Their offensive lineup is pretty ordinary (unless Pence wakes up). It's always about pitching for them and they are not getting consistency from their arms. Cain has been awful. Dodgers have played better as a team since Kershaw's injury. Personally, if we can get to the WC finish line, I think we'll see the Cards there with us.

This!!

Hey if we make it, I'll take it.

Cutch baby...another hit...is it just me or does the air suddenly smell fresher? Is the sub shining just a bit brighter?

Nurez fouling off pitches and works a walk. Too many baserunners given up in the back end of this pen. It's gonna bite us.
