still battling…

Giants narrative, something about key pick ups, resurgent veterans, big absence from the playoffs, stellar pitching, perserverance, rah-rah, old school crap

Padres narrative: picked to be last by everyone, despite leading the division for 5 months, no respect, have a predictable slump given the razor-thin margin they have, recover, get should have been knock out punch from cubbies (1984 now even), but rally, amazingly…

It tends to depend on how the Dodgers are doing
