Giants season fading fast

LOS ANGELES The Giants weren't scared of big, bad Cliff Lee inthe World Series last year. They shrugged and said, "sorry, doc"when they faced Roy Halladay in the NLCS. But with the postseason an extreme longshot, another ace blockedtheir return path to October. And the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw has beensimply impassable especially against the Giants. Kershaw became the Dodgers' first 20-game winner in 21years, he triumphed over Tim Lincecum for a fourth time this seasonand the home crowd delighted in the Giants' 2-1 loss that drovetheir archrivals to the brink of elimination.
