earlier in the season, jonathan sanchez said the giants could reach first place. it sounded like the kid was getting all excited being in the pennant race and was spouting out. now, it turns out what he said came true last night after the giants beat the dodgers to take sole possession of first place in the NL West.

it seems everything is happening at the right times for the giants. the offense mostly recovered from the offensive slump in august and their pitching has been lights out.

the frosting on the cake is the san francisco giants jeepney they will be handing out on filipino heritage night at att park in a week or so.
