The Barry show, with a dash of Ray. And that's it, really, though Grissom is also playing well so far. To top it off, both Bonds and Durham are banged up a bit, so neither are guaranteed to play all three games. These aren't your mother's Giants, or last year's for that matter.

That said, Jason Schmidt is still a fearsome opponent, and Kirk Rueter is a scrubby pitcher that will somehow pitch a two-hit shutout, only against the Cubs. Or not.
