MAKE OR BREAK!!!
DO OR DIE!!!
PUT UP OR SHUT UP!!!
WE'RE ALL IN!!!

Yup. You think? Have I left out any clichés?

Nothing like waiting until the last minute to get things done.
But whatever, right?
Talk is cheap.

San Francisco Giants - Team Report - MLB - Yahoo! Sports:

""It isn't over," Pat Burrell said. "We're going to fight this thing out, and the better team is going to prevail, obviously. We feel we are that team."

The Giants tweaked their rotation so that their three All-Stars will pitch: Matt Cain on Friday, Tim Lincecum on Saturday and on Ryan Vogelsong Sunday.

They skipped Eric Surkamp, who's in the No. 5 starter slot, so that he won't pitch until Tuesday in San Diego.

This Diamondbacks series is for the big boys.

Arizona will counter with Joe Saunders, Ian Kennedy and Daniel Hudson.

So the marquee matchup is Saturday between possible Cy Young Award candidates Lincecum and Kennedy.

The Giants also play the Diamondbacks in the season's final week, Sept. 23-25, and it's anyone's guess how the race will shape up by then. For now, they want a three-game sweep to cut the deficit to three.

Winning two of three won't do much.

They can't afford to get swept or even lose two of three. Basically, it's a make-or-break series.

"I don't see how it couldn't be," Burrell said. "I think this team responds better when all the chips are out on the table.""
