Two Weeks Left: I feel slightly ill

2 Weeks Left
.5 games ahead in division, 2 games back in wild card

As bad as Saturday was, Sunday was awesome. It started at 11am, when St. Louis beat the Padres 4-1, continued into the first inning of the Giants game when Barry Zito held the Brewers to less than 1 run and then Jose Guillen crushed a grand slam. At that point it was: Total Runs scored by Giants in first two games of series: 1 Total Runs scored by Giants on one swing in game three: 4 But then it got oh so much better when the Rockies blew a 6-1 lead to the Fodgers, who tied the game with 2 outs in the 9th and won it in the 11th. The Fodgers: Officially less useless than the Mets.


So now it comes down to this. Two weeks. Giants up half a game on San Diego and 1.5 games up on Troy Tulowitski's Fightin' Mullets. My thought process:
1. Zito won! Wow!
2. And he can count to 10!

3. There are 2 weeks left.
4. I feel slightly ill

It's not my fault I feel slightly ill. It's not even Zito's fault.It's not even Giambi or Mike Adams' fault! It's possibly only partly Aaron Rowand's fault. I feel slightly ill because this can only end one of two ways.Either we miss the playoffs and I spend the next 6 months agonizing about all the games we lost 2-1 because Pablo Sandoval hit into 3 double plays in the first 3 innings, OR...well, there's another, far more horrible option.

We could MAKE the playoffs.

Oh man, can you imagine how slightly ill I will feel then? Can you imagine the agony of the Giants in a five-game series?

I won't sleep, I won't eat, I'll have nightmares about Rob Nen and Jose Cruz Jr. Fox will show flashbacks to Scott Speizio and Troy Glaus and Troy Percival and Troy, the motion picture (whch is possibly worse than even Troy Percival). TBS will show a game and Craig Sager will wear a florescent suit.

It will be bad.

Today, absolutely nothing interesting happens except the Braves play the Phillies. Tomorrow, the Padres play the Fodgers, the Rockies play Arizona, and we play the Cubs, who apparently still have a baseball team. Who knew?

Today's Poll Question: Do you also feel slightly ill?
A) Yes.
B) Yes
C) Yes
D) No. I root for an American League team. We don't have pennant races. We have auctions. Oh, and we have the Rays. They are quirky and fun! They are exempt from the auction as they have spent all their money on cowbells.
