I wake up most mornings wondering if the San Francisco Giants are actually good. It’s hard to know, but after taking two of three from the Philadelphia Phillies, a team I’m confident the Giants are not better than (overall), I have the sense that I can’t outright dismiss them. For years and years it was really easy to measure one’s favorite team against the very best in the business: the New York Yankees. But times change and the Yankees aren’t so much the standard anymore so much as the Kleenex of being a great team.
