Giants granted a rude reality check by Padres

I’ve gotten used to the San Francisco Giants winning. I’m guessing you have, too.

The Giants entered Thursday night’s game having won 15 of their last 20 games, a staggering rate for an entire third of this pandemic-shortened, wacky, wild, stupid, mesmerizing, ridiculous excuse for a season.

Having 15 wins in 20 games is a helluva stretch, no matter who you are.

But — there’s always a but — 14 of those 15 wins came against teams that currently have losing records. That’s not the Giants fault; you can only play the teams in front of you, and a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers serves as the only team the Giants faced in that stretch that is currently set to be part of the playoff field.
