Either Sanchez will fold or come through! I know he's thinking of what he said!
POSTGAME NOTES: Jonathan Sanchez offers bold bulletin-board material to Padres,

Jonathan Sanchez doesnt really qualify as a team spokesperson.
He doesnt have too many years in the league. He hasnt won any hardware. In fact, hes been as inconsistent as ever as the Giants No.4 starter.
To wit: Sanchez has posted back-to-back quality starts just once this season, and that came way back on April 14 and 20. He had a few lapses in concentration while allowing four runs in four innings of Sundays loss at Turner Field.
Yet Sanchez really opened eyes with his comments after todays game.
We are going to make the playoffs, Sanchez said, without an ounce of prompting.
Asked again, for clarification, if he was guaranteeing the Giants will make the playoffs, Sanchez said, Yeah, we will.
San Diego has been winning series all year. But were going to play San Diego now and were going to beat them three times. If we get to first place, were not going to look back.
