Maybe the "Dawgs" will make it!

Giants' Ross is Braves' pain, ends epic career
Outfielder's homer, RBI single oust Cox's Atlanta squad
By Chris Haft / MLB.com | 10/11/10 10:51 PM ET

ATLANTA -- The Giants' rich cast of performers, from castoffs to rookies to veterans, took them to a loftier stage Monday night.

San Francisco advanced to a National League Championship Series showdown against Philadelphia by outlasting Atlanta, 3-2, in Game 4 of the Division Series. Having vanquished the Braves in their best-of-five series, 3-1, the Giants will turn their attention to the Phillies in the best-of-seven NLCS beginning Saturday at Philadelphia.

The Giants earned their second trip to the NLCS since the Wild Card was introduced to the postseason in 1995. They made their only other appearance in 2002, when they topped St. Louis en route to the World Series

I'm pulling for the Rangers, (even though I'm allergic to the state of Texas ) because my homie Cliff Lee pitchs for them!

Not sure who I'll pull for if the Rangers end up playing the Yankees, since my homie AJ Burnett pitches for the Yankees. I'll probably still pull for Cliff and the Rangers.

I had a hard time in the World Series last year when Cliff was pitching for the Phillies and AJ was pitching for the Yankees, but I like Cliff a little better, so I was glad the Phillies won!

I hope one of my Little Rock area homies make it to the Series again this year!

I am really sad the Braves lost tonight. I thought it would be very fitting that they win this thing; for Bobbi Cox. Oh well life goes on....

Oh, I get this. Cox is one hell of a baseball guy! I thought the Giants stopping and giving him a standing ovation along with Atlanta fans was great- brought me back to the days that one could respect ball players and they were positive role models all the way around. And Bobby's talk after the game brought me to tears! yeah- even though I'm way excited about the young Giants playing the game with so much heart and spirit with a "team" effort, the Braves winning and Cox being out there for more games would of been OK!

So much has changed the game with the money chase, fame orientation. Cox is from an era I don't believe we will ever see again. Hope I'm wrong.

You the man, Bobby!

Thanks for clearing this up - they did advance. I saw the headline in the Chronicle this morning, but thought that it was a typo.

Me too!!! I, oh, so want to see a World Series between teams that never play in it! Or at least haven't very often. I'm a National League fan anyway.... so if the Phillies beat my guys, I'll root for them in the World Series.

GO GIANTS!!!
