Hats off to the Giants... No question who the best team in the league is as the stomping could not have been any more thorough... Seriously, I mean what else can you say when they score 13 runs in one inning (11 before we even got an out!)... A complete as_ whupping if ever there was one... The line-up is so stacked and gives the opposition NO room to breathe as EVERY guy in the line-up is stud at the dish... Not to even mention they have 4 top-line pitchers and solid defensive guys to boot... Plus they are ALL a bunch of GREAT guys led by 2 of the finest in the league, Stevie and Jimmy K in his honorary/emeritus capacity...
But we still want our shot in the playoffs and there's only one way to get that opportunity as the #2 can only play the #1 if we both make it through to the finals... So good luck to everyone as I know plenty of teams out there who want to upset the apple cart and have their shot too, so yep, it's gonna be a LOT of fun for all... Except maybe me as I dunno if my leg is fractured or what, but I guess I gotta go to the MD this am after getting taken out by a good, hard, totally clean slide on a DP attempt in the first game yesterday... My leg and shin are swollen the size of a soft ball and it is sideways, so I'll see if I might have to go on the DL and just play cheerleader or what, but yeah, it was a rough day to be a Yankee...
And good day to be a Giant! Hats off again as they are supremely talented and absolutely deserving of the top seeding...
