CINCINNATI – Remember last October, when the Giants stepped into Citi Field and wrested the NL Wild Card game away from the New York Mets?
A month into this season, let’s just say that things have gotten wilder for both clubs. The Giants got off to a miserable start, Madison Bumgarner wiped out on a dirt bike, and Bruce Bochy’s beleaguered boys are coming off a three-game drubbing at Great American Ball Park in which, counting Sunday’s 4-0 loss, the Reds outscored them 31-5.
If the Giants are a Don Rickles punchline, the Mets are a Rodney Dangerfield bit.
