Welcome to the Giants Talk podcast. Here's Alex Bablovich and Cole Kuiper. I know those guys.

Hey, what's up, Giants fans? Welcome to another episode of Giants Talk. I'm Cole Khyber here with

Alex Pavlovich. Giants just wrapped up a sweep of the pirates, and that's just one of many things

we're going to be Giants talking about today. We'll also touch on the 2012 World Series

Reunion on Saturday, part of which is Alex's sit down with Ryan Vogelsaw.

So stay tuned for that at the end of the episode.

Before we go any further, I'm going to have to bring up that Giant Stock is presented by Wendy's

breakfast. Do breakfast better.

Wake up to oven-baked bacon and savory sausage in a breakfast baconator.

Start looking forward to tomorrow morning at participating U.S. Wendy's during breakfast hours all day. All right, Alex,

this series started off as a bout between two sub-500 baseball teams who have both swept the Dodgers

this year, but it did not end that way.

One of those two teams is now at 500.

Congratulations, San Francisco Giants.

Pirates are really bad.

Like, we know it, obviously, but when you actually see it like for three days you're it's just

kind of like wow so that that's my takeaway but it you know we've talked about this that

this is the stretch this is a two-week stretch if they want to get back into this wild card race

now is the time because the start of september is tough They're healthy. So they did what they have to do.

I won't like, I think some people are probably really excited on Sunday. I'll wait and see how they do

against Arizona because that's, that's been kind of their Achilles heel this year for some weird

reason. But these are the teams you should beat. And they took two straight from the A's last week.
