If you’ve spent any time at all this decade reading or listening to famed internet commentator Grant Brisbee, then you know his Giants’ Butterfly Theory. If Brooks Conrad didn’t happen there would be no rings. If Buster Posey’s four-hit game in Game 4 didn’t happen... if Jonathan Sanchez’ triple didn’t happen... if Timmy’s lightning bolt opening act...
If if if.
If 2010 didn’t happen, would anything else have come after? It all hinged on the first victory, on 2010. And 2010 hinged on Game 6 and on taking down the mighty champion Phillies.
