Narrative:
On the final phase of the FMS bridge visual approach to runway 28R; a B737 for the visual approach to runway 28L; started to do 'south' turns on final into our approach path for 28R. We had to use both speed brakes and the landing gear to slow the aircraft down in order to remain behind the B737. Spacing behind the B737 came down to approximately 2 miles on the TCAS. At approximately 1000 AGL we encountered the B737's wake. We landed on 28R uneventfully. The pilot of the B737 should not have 'south' turned over the flight path to a parallel runway.
