What a horrible week for the Giants and their extended family, on and off the field.
They lost Buster Posey to a concussion and Jarrett Parker to a broken collarbone. Wednesday brought the deaths of Orlando Cepeda’s wife, Mirian, and Brandon Crawford’s sister-in-law, Jennifer Pippin.
The tragedies completely dulled the importance of the seven games on their schedule, but they were played and must be duly recorded.
On a fittingly cold, wet and miserable Sunday afternoon at AT&T Park, the Giants concluded the week with a 4-3 loss.
