Watching the Cubs celebrate at AT&T Park was a surreal experience. It just didn’t look right. This isn’t how it’s supposed to end for the Giants.
As the stadium emptied and the seagulls descended for the last time this season, hundreds of Chicago fans gathered behind the visitors’ dugout, reveling in their team’s remarkable ninth-inning comeback, singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” and carrying on.
Were we in the wrong stadium? Where was Marco Scutaro standing in the rain? Where was Travis Ishikawa, rounding the bases? Where was Tim Lincecum, fist in the air?
