As Governor of CA…excited that we're guaranteed an historic playoff series between @MLB's two best teams -- the @SFGiants and @Dodgers. One way or another a CA team is moving onto the next round!

It’s on @LAPDChiefMoore! You wanted a challenge, and you’re about to get one. In the unlikely event the @Dodgers beat our beloved @SFGiants I will treat him to a famous clam chowder in a bread bowl. In the probable case that we win, I get an @LangersDeli sandwich! #BeatLA pic.twitter.com/Flw5Fwy7hy
