I desperately needed the All-Star break, too. About as badly as the bullpen did. Now I’m back and the team is back and while I’m just a blogger who has been in a steady decline post-peak for several years now, the Giants are right where they wanted to be from the starr of this calendar year: in contention in the second half with a significant quantity of reinforcements coming back from injury to help them out.
That first half where they were neither good nor bad? That’s over. It’s time for the San Francisco Giants to separate themselves from this tier of mediocrity and there’s no better opponent to begin that work with than the Colorado Rockies.
