The season finale ended the same way so many other games have recently for the San Francisco Giants. They sat and watched as their victorious opponents formed a handshake line in the middle of the field, celebrating another win.
On Sunday, the Giants were on the losing end for the 89th time, and this one stung more than most. On Saturday, they rolled over and allowed their archrival Dodgers to clinch a postseason berth, as well as move into a tie for first place as the Rockies lost to the Nationals. The Rockies lost again on Sunday, so when the Dodgers knocked off the Giants to complete their sweep, Los Angeles clinched their sixth consecutive division title.
