I’m sorry to tell you that it wasn’t a horrible nightmare. Three times in the last four games, the Giants blew a ninth-inning lead against very good teams. In each of those three games, Trevor Gott gave up a lead-erasing or game-losing home run.
It’s ... it’s bad.
The Giants will face the Angels again tonight, on the road, with Albert Pujols one run away from tying Willie Mays at 660 on the all-time leaderboard. It’s probably not going to be a great night. But we’re all gluttons for punishment here.
