We are at the point in the season when most San Francisco Giants sportswriters spend more of their time thinking and writing about the Los Angeles Dodgers than they do about the team they are paid to cover.
I am very guilty of this.
In past seasons, this has occurred deep into October when we suddenly find ourselves huge fans of people like Brett Phillips and incredibly frustrated with, well, the entire 2020 Atlanta Braves organization.
But we are still in September and we have been in September and we will be in September for a little bit longer and the anxiety has set in, matured, and become a part of biological make-up now.
