Filed under: Dodgers, Giants, Padres, Rockies, NL WestSAN FRANCISCO -- The highlight of a cold, foggy night at AT&T Park came after the game, and not even on the field. Beyond the right-field wall, next to the Cable Car, stands a flag pole that has banners for the five teams in the National League West, arranged in order of the standings. It is rather inconspicuous, and many Giants fans may not have even noticed it was there.
Until Thursday night.
The video board showed a ballpark employee lower the flags and rearrange them, putting the black-and-orange "Giants" at the top, then wheeling it back up as the crowd roared.
The margin may be only a half-game, and there may still be 17 days left in the season -- and isn't it funny how 17 days seems like a long time when you're ahead, but a short time when you're behind? -- but it was nonetheless a milestone achievement for the Giants.
