there's one, there's two, and the padres are very much alive. >> oh, boy. san francisco giants fans were silenced at the ballpark today. the playoffs are still at least one game away after today's loss. good evening, i'm diane dwyer. it's been seven long years since the giants went to the postseason. fans who expected a win today are not only disappointed but also very anxious. we have team coverage of the push for the playoffs. bob rudell is at at&t park. we want to know how the pressure is mounting for these giants

players as they get ready for tomorrow. >> not much of a surprise here. they don't do things the easy way, that's why everyone likes to joke about the term torture. this is how they've been doing it, so for lack of a better term, is tortuous, the giants will have a chance again. these last 48 hours will be pretty miserable. to show you what happened here in front of the screaming fans, we say hello to steve perry, the former journey front man trying to get the crowd going. bases loaded walk -- back-to-back bases loaded walk in the top of the first inning. before you know it, the padres had a 1-0 lead. bottom of the sixth inning. buster pozzi with the called strike three with two men on. the call was questionable. bruce bocce comes out so argue

it. he was ejected from the game. it's been that kind of weekend so far for the giants. bottom line, they lose to the padres for the second straight day. 4-2 is your final. let's take you inside, needls to say a disappointing clubhouse. here is zito. >> you know, coming into the series we knew we had to take one. now it's come down to the last game, and, you know, unfortunately, i couldn't put it away today. >> i've gone through some ups and downs. i mean, we've been battling all year, and we just have to come out and get the job done tomorrow. >> so here it is, the giants still have a chance tomorrow to get into the playoffs, they also have a chance on monday to get into the playoffs. in theory, there's an outside chance to get into the playoffs on tuesday. that's the up side ppt downside, this team is feeling the

pressure. >> i was out there on friday, i think i need to go back out on sunday as the good luck charm to make this thing happen. >> if you're a giants fan, whatever superstitions you have, whatever works. >> it was such an easy game, and then it's been challenging since thursday. >> thursday. >> now i'm messing the whole thing up, i can't even keep track. >> thank you, raj. let's bring in bob rudell now. what's the mood out there for the fans? i can kind of guess, probably? >> yeah, it's probably not hard to figure out. good evening to you, diane. one man had a sign at the game that seems to sum up the experience of last night and this afternoon for giants fans, and now one word on that sign was torture. and when you're witnessing torture from the stands, this is the official pose, folded arms, stone face wondering what happened from -- wasn't our team supposed to clinch the title

last night, weren't we about to lose another game to the padres? it seemed like that was going to do the trick, the giants scored another run, narrowing the padres lead to two. the padres seemed to dash that movement home by shutting down the giants with a disappointing play. >> this is a sad moment right now. we will win tomorrow, i guarantee it. i will bet money on it. >> that was a good game. we can't -- we'll get them tomorrow. >> are you confident? >> tomorrow. >> go giants. >> go giants. >> here's one fan willing to put their money where their mouth is. buying a t-shirt that has if the giants as the national league west title champions, that has not yet become reality, we're expecting another soldout crowd tomorrow, diane. the giants show there are possibly single seat tickets.

they're still quietly optimistic and excited they're likely going to be a playoff team. let's send it over to laura banke. >> reporter: the giants were able to brit tieing run to the plate late in the game. and for the second day in a row, they failed to deliver the big hit. after this one, the clubhouse a little quieter than it was last night. the players say they're still confident. >> i think we know what we have to do, and, you know, it's just -- it's the toughest time to say, you know, just go out there and have fun. but ultimately, when you do that, that's when things turn out well. and, you know, we have to find a way to have some fun tomorrow and enjoy the experience. >> everyone is upbeat. there was no negativity whatsoever. we're all in good spirits. we're excited, like i said, excited to come and play tomorrow. we're one up, one to go.
