Last night’s game was remarkable in that so many bad things happened to the Giants — who definitely deserve everything that’s happening to them but for reasons we’ll never fully understand — and yet, it was one of those games you don’t quite want to forget.
Pittsburgh’s outpour of love and affection for McCutchen was simply beautiful and represented the best of fandom and Baseball. The Giants’ inability to stop striking out at the plate, getting hits with runners in scoring position, or get out major league hitters isn’t affected in any way by their opponent.
