If the Giants win tonight, they will have out-Cardinaled the Cardinals
I've always had the feeling that if my team is going to lose enroute to the championship, I prefer that team to go on and win it all. That said, in a Giants/Tigers series, I don't have a horse in that race - it could either way. But St. Louis getting in would be too bitter a pill to swallow.

This will be the sixth elimination game the Giants have played this postseason. Anyone know the record for that?

"In the other corner, you will have the San Francisco Giants who already have won five win-or-go-home games in the past two weeks -- and will attempt to join Steve Balboni's 1985 Royals as the only teams ever to win six games like that in the same postseason."

Giants threatening to add to the lead. They have two runners in scoring position with no outs and the soon-to-be-MVP up to bat.
