I'm cool with that as long as the Giants come in second with the Dodgers in a distant third.
The National League (West) is where it's all happening this season!

Who sits when they return? Or do we trade for MUCH NEEDED BULLPEN HELP?

(37,826 posts)The SF Giants have the best winning streak in MLB, winning eight of their last ten games.
