Here’s the thing about September: Thirty minutes in, it was already a rough month. The Giants got walked off in Los Angeles in the sixth hour of a game that started August 31, and the slide to the first tee was officially on. Oh, the Giants made it interesting alright, and they hung around much longer than anyone could have expected considering they were running the Sacramento River Cats lineup out there most nights. But ultimately it was the final stretch of the season, one that ended with the defending champs getting officially knocked out on September 29.
