Giants and Dodgers in the middle of all of this too.

And I sure don't want to face the Cardinals in a one-game playoff.

If the Giants lose today and the Dodgers win, they will be tied and have to play a game to decide who is the division champion and who has the wild card.

Today is the 70th anniversary of Bobby Thompson's "shot heard 'round the world"--a three-run home run in the bottom of the 9th inning that sent the New York Giants to the 1951 World Series. They were playing the Brooklyn Dodgers. If the Dodgers had intentionally walked Thompson, the next batter would have been Willie Mays, so he could have been the hero of the game instead of Bobby Thompson.

The Giants went on to lose the Series in 6 games to the Yankees.
