Clouds of inevitability still hover over AT&T Park. The math still does not allow even the heartiest faithful to believe the Giants can overcome the Dodgers and win the National League West.
At the same time, the Giants' 3-2, 12-inning win Monday night told us that such inevitability is not a topic within the home clubhouse.
We are witnessing the Giants playing some of their most inspired baseball, which is not surprising given the bleak alternative, despite the absence of so many key players.
The credit goes to their youth.
