Two weeks from now, the Giants will travel to Fenway Park to get Boston Creme’d by the Red Sox for three games. That’s not hyperbole! The Giants are 0-5 against Boston and have been outscored by them 93-50. It’s not going to go well. We’re not even going to have an interesting storyline to play up as Pablo Sandoval just had elbow surgery and is out for the season.
Sandoval’s 5-year deal with the Red Sox ends this season, and we all know that the Giants benefited tremendously from it by only paying the major league minimum for a player who hit a little bit above league average (and doing cool stuff the fans loved).
