Last night was heartbreaking. There are excuses for losing games like that, but none that offer much solace. For now, what I’m holding onto is that we took on the Dodgers for 5 games in 4 days - in LA! - and fought them to a standstill. As we’ve all probably thought to ourselves in the last month, if we had even a mediocre bullpen, we’d have done much better. But to nearly win a 5-game series against a team constantly in the postseason is impressive in my book. It’ll have to do for now. (I am willfully ignoring that many of their regular players received rest days - regardless of who is playing, LAD is a tough cookie)
In much happier news, we have the San Francisco Giants coming to our house for a set of three this weekend.
