On the surface, the weekend story seems simple.
The Giants merely need to win out and they are in the Wild Card Game no matter what the Cardinals do. But there is a lot bubbling under the surface in these final two regular-season games against the Dodgers at AT&T Park.
We have a Solomon-like decision by manager Bruce Bochy - actually, a Salomon-like decision - to start rookie Ty Blach over Matt Cain or Albert Suarez in Saturday's game against Clayton Kershaw.
We also have some hard feelings between the Giants and Dodgers that might yet be settled in a nasty way on the field.
