When San Francisco Giants Juan Uribe hit that two run homer in the top of the ninth in Los Angeles, I jumped a good four feet into the air with both fists clutched in triumph. The Dodgers were going down.
It didn't matter that I was watching the Giants come-from-behind win over the Dodgers on the Crowne Plaza big screens with dance music blaring all around. Nor did I care that I startled some of the non-sports patrons from their appetizer meals. The homer which led to the 5-4 win was the culmination of a late rally by the Giants that consisted of four home runs. It was definitely one of the best wins of the season for the Giants and couldn't have come at a better time against a more hated foe.
Just another historic game in this Giants season. Meanwhile, the San Diego Padres halted their ten game losing streak with a 4-2 win over the Dodgers today, but the damage is done. Our San Francisco Giants are now only one game back of the Padres for the NL West division lead.
Everybody said it, fans, broadcasters and even players. The "can't lose" hot streaking San Diego Padres would hit a slump sooner or later. The slump has hit and September in the NL West will be a month of scoreboard watching and critical division matchups. The Colorado Rockies are still in the division picture at 4.5 games back. And we won't even begin to talk about the wild card.
The San Francisco Giants have proven that you can't count them out of any game. This magical season could carryover to the playoffs.
Go Giants!
