1st Place San Francisco Giants

The San Francisco Giants buried their division rival Los Angeles Dodgers 10-2 tonight to take sole possession of first place in the N.L. West. Rest in Pain our enemy from the south. Your annihilation was more than a means to an end. It was Personal!

Its the first time since May 6th that the Giants have the honor of leading their division this season. With 15 games left in the regular season, the Giants have positioned themselves beautifully for a final gallop into the playoffs. But that final lap on the track leading to the MLB playoffs will be full of challenging hurdles.

With a half game division lead over the San Diego Padres and a two and a half game lead over the Colorado Rockies, the Giants cannot afford to let up and look back to see how far ahead they are or how close beind someone might be.

There's a different attitude one should take on when taking over first place. Like that of a conquering King residing on the throne of his newly acquired land. Call it Arrogant Confidence.

Call it Manifest Destiny. The attitude is that of a reigning conqueror; Big, Bold & Boastful.

The Giants no longer need watch the wild card race, they're currently in the Division Pennant drivers seat. Take us home Giants, end the torture, claim our pennant and just take us home.
