I probably wasn’t the only person excited about this game and the series as a whole. After most of a season of meaningless baseball, the Giants finally had the chance for a game to mean something and play spoiler to the Dodgers.
I didn’t complain much when the Giants lost 98 games last season. I haven’t complained very much about the nearly 90 games they’ve lost this season. All I asked was that they win these specific games. That’s all I needed for this season to be a success.
Things looked promising early on.
