Ok, we have to remember what's important here... the win. That's what we need. Sure the no hitter would have been great, but we need the win.
 
Great win. With six games left and a day off tomorrow, I agreed with Michael Urbane when he said the Giants should start Sanchez, Bumgarner, and Zito against Diamondbacks; and end the final three games against the Padres with Lincecum , Cain (both on 6 days rest), and Sanchez. Either way, I'm optimistic that the Giants will be in the playoffs but winning the division and not facing the Phillies will be nice.

i was thinking the same things, i thought i read somewhere that bochy and sabean and the other coaches were gonna sit down monday and discuss possibly tweaking the rotation, i hope they do, but as of now they dont have any plans to.
  
 
I don't want to face the Phillies either, but if you're going to have to play them, the Giants have a better shot against them in a short series.

[h1]Giants beat: Freddy Sanchez has arm trouble[/h1]
(09-27) 04:00 PDT Denver --The Giants enter the season's final week with one ominous medical problem. Second baseman Freddy Sanchez will undergo an MRI exam today on his right shoulder, which he injured while turning a double play Saturday. He confessed he is concerned.

Sanchez was iffy for Sunday's game. He can hit but not throw. Manager Bruce Bochy put Sanchez in the lineup and said he would take the blame for any play the second baseman could not make.

The move paid off when Sanchez homered against Jorge De La Rosa after Cody Ross walked to start the game. Fate sent only one grounder to Sanchez, by Eric Young in the fourth, and he had to lob the ball to first.

"Right now, that's what I've got," Sanchez said, adding he will continue to play if asked.

"I'd be able to do what I did today," he said. "We'll see. Obviously, I want to do everything I can to be in there. At the same time, I don't want to hurt the team in any way if I can't make a play or turn a double play."

The Giants scored their other runs on a Pat Burrell sacrifice fly, after Aubrey Huff doubled and Troy Tulowitzki botched a rundown play, and Ross' second homer in two games.

Giants set DP mark: Burrell and Jose Guillen boarded the team plane Sunday doubtlessly unaware that they had made history by grounding into double plays. They were the Giants' 153rd and 154th double-play groundballs of the year, breaking the franchise record set in 1939. Guillen also hit into one that tied the San Francisco mark of 149 on Wednesday, with Buster Posey breaking it the next night.

"We're not going to open up any Champagne," Bochy said, smiling. "That's who we are. We know it. When the season started, I knew that would be the case. I didn't want to set the franchise record."

Briefly: Andres Torres sat as a precaution after stretching scar tissue from his appendectomy Saturday. ... Jay Payton, who broke up Matt Cain's no-hitter in the eighth, doubled for the only hit against Cain in a 2006 complete game at Oakland. ... The Giants finished 43-38 on the road and split with Colorado 9-9. ... When Payton scored on Melvin Mora's homer, he became the first hitter to reach third against Cain in 21 innings.

Came in here to say this.

Although, facing the Reds with a home field advantage is also nice.  And who knows?  Maybe the Padres will pull some more magic out of their %+% and beat the Phillies leading to a NL West showdown.
