Why the Giants Will Still Make the Playoffs (and A's stuff)

The last Bay Bridge Series has been won. Will anyone miss it? More importantly will the Giants miss the playoffs? Our A's haters discuss the legacy of the Giants-Athletics rivalry and what the A's moving will mean for the Giants. They also try to keep hope alive by breaking down how the Giants can definitely still make the playoffs.
