Beat LA!

This weekend's heroics probably don't rank up there with Brian Johnson and Rod Beck. They may not even rank up there with Ray Durham's three-run homer. Still, didn't it feel good to beat the Dodgers twice in walk-off fashion. The West is pathetic but the Dodgers actually have a shot at winning this thing, especially with the arrival of Manny Ramirez. Any dent we can throw it that plan is a nice saving grace for the 2008 season. The Giants will able to hurt Dodger morale a little bit with a pair of come-from-behind wins, and actually happened to improve their own team chemistry in the process. The team didn't win either game with dramatic surges of power, instead doing "the little things," while also receiving help from poor Dodger defense. The Giants have now won three consecutive series and reportedly are actually having fun. That nine game deficit in the West is a bit to much to overcome, but perhaps we can ride a little wave into 2009.
