The Phils pitching staff is filthy. The scary part is that I don't even think they clicked on offense that series, and still won rather easily.

I think the Giants staff equals the Phillies staff. This series may be filled with a lot of 1-0 and 2-1 games.

No argument here. The only thing is if the Reds hadn't done everything to beat themselves in game 2 and came back here with the series tied 1-1, would it have made a difference? Probably not since they lost game 3 anyway and I'm guessing they would have lost to Halladay again in game 4, but it's always fun to wonder what could have been...

GO GIANTS!

Ahem.

It sure seems like longer than 7 years since our last playoff appearance, so we SF fans are really enjoying this one. Love this matchup with the Phillies. Old franchises, classic uni's, nice ballparks, stellar pitching. Should be good.

Waiver wire pickup Cody Ross powers the Giants to victory! And they beat Halladay, go figure!

Even better, the Yankees lost

Could the Giants be this year's team of destiny? Sure hope so.

There's an unusual situation that could occur in this post season: Bengie Molina started the season with San Francisco and was traded to Texas in July. It's certainly possible that the Giants and Rangers will face each other in the World Series. Therefore, Molina would have played for both of those teams in the same year.

How unusual is it for a player to have been a member of both World Series participants in one season? I assume it's happened before, but I'm not sure. And of course it has happened yet.
