A fantastic 5-1 week saw the Giants' NL West lead grow by one game to 2 and their magic number shrink to 5 with 6 to play. Unfortunately, the good vibes were marred somewhat when we found out that Captain Belt has a fractured finger that could jeopardize any playoff participation...and he had been one of the hottest players in baseball, cranking out homers 28 and 29 in a game this week. Eric, Chad...

This week, the Giants clinched a postseason berth for the first time in 5 years, but they're not close to being finished.

Chad, Eric and Willie talk about the last two weeks of Giants baseball, including Brandon Crawford's 2 year, $32 million extension and how that might affect Posey and Belt, the fact that they went 10-3 and only increased their NL West lead by a game, the dramatic come-from-behind victories, the taxed bullpen, and how this team continues to be the best in baseball with its depth, consistency and re...
