I think the Phillies and Giants and Dodgers are the teams to beat in the NL. Phillies built like an AL team. Dodgers best OF in NL, and Giants best 1-2 combo in NL.
Ya Pirates #1 for all of 1 day maybe 2 if they beat the dodgers today. But that won't last long . maybe one day they will be back to the Pirates of the early 90's but better .
I'm hoping the Giants bats' just remain consistent with run support. Doesn't have to be great run support, but just constant enough so they don't waste some great nights out of the starting staff. Hopefully it's a season of being on the good side of 4-2 baseball games.
Go Giants - i hope the bullpen doesn't blow it. Looking forward to 3 baseball games in a row this weekend. Saturday vs. Braves, Sunday vs. Braves (Lincecum start), and Monday vs. Pirates.
