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.
