I wouldn't take a single position player on that team who hasn't hit 70 homers over any analogous player on the red sox . . . or the yankees, for that matter (yes, their lineup has to be considered weaker than the sox at this point).
Think about it - boone over alfonso? easy - soriano over durham? easy - posada over the skeleton formerly known as benito? easy easy easy - the giants do NOT hit well enough.
They do throw the ball - but they lose to the Marlins in a short series (they won't score in ProP).
The Sox have a very real chance to knock off the yankees if the bullpen gets hot. If Kim acts like BK Kim circa 2001 . . . well then, it will be yanks in 5 jjust like in 99.
The Fish or the Braves will play the Sox or the Yanks, though - the other teams are keeping the dugouts warm.

I watch plenty of baseball, thank you very much. I've been watching baseball since I was in diapers. Apparently I'm not the only person that thinks the Giants will go all the way:
2003 Power Rankings: Week 24
Rank Team Rec. Comment
1 Giants 93-57 We have a strong feeling that this is the year for Barry Bonds and Co. Mark it down: Giants will be the ones holding a parade come late October ...

No one really believed they would make it last year, but they did. Granted, they didn't win,but they played their hearts out and will do it again this time. The Giants are an amazing 21-5 in games decided in the final at-bat. They make the key hits when they count.
Barry is one of the best to ever play the game, but he can't do it alone. This team plays well TOGETHER and everyone of them makes an outstanding contribution (even the reserves). Sure, as individuals, they might not seem like powerhouses or big name stars, but together, they have proven to be pretty much untouchable. They were only ever in second place in the NL West for less than a day.
All I can do is believe in my team, enjoy the post season, and cheer them on all the way.
