This is the Giants’ 101st game of the year. Of those, I’ve written the recaps for 84 of them. I’m not sure how many of them were dreadfully boring, but I can tell you what those kinds of games felt like: They were dreadfully boring. The other team hit, or they didn’t. The Giants didn’t. And the innings would stretch on and on and on, and eventually there was an Osich or an Okert or an Obonn or an Orbox pitching in the game, and when it was time to write, I made stuff up.
This was not one of those games.
