After winning two do-or-die games in the National League Divisional Series, the San Francisco Giants forced a deciding game today against Cincinnati. And the Oakland A’s did the same thing to force a game 5 against the Detroit Tigers in the East Bay this evening.

Though many of us will be able to watch the A’s, Major League Baseball has scheduled the Giants game at 10:07 a.m. our time, when lots of folks will be at work or school while the Giants do battle with the Reds.

Will you be watching the game at your desk? Listening on a smart phone? Or did you take the day off to savor the glory of both Bay Area teams playing in the postseason?

We are looking for area hotspots where people will watch this morning’s game. In Turlock, Wellingtons — often packed during Giants games — will be open early just for the game. We’ll be starting there, but we’ll be looking to visit other places folks are gathering for midmorning baseball excitement - sports bars, electronics stores, the breakroom of an area employer.

If you’re watching the game and you’re on Twitter, send out a Tweet or a photo with a hashtag #SFGiants. Or post on The Bee’s Facebook page.
