It is my good fortune to post something when Madison Bumgarner pitches. He gets wins and that makes me post in a much better mood than when the Giants lose. You, in turn, benefit by being spared my vitriol. At least some of it.
Madison Bumgarner pitched for the Giants tonight and the Giants beat the Cardinals by a score of 9 - 8 in a wild game. 40 different players made appearances in this game. The Giants went up 4 - 0, then the Cardinals caught up, then the Giants went up 7 - 4, then the Cardinals went up 8 - 7, and finally Kevin Pillar hit his 21st home run of the year with Brandon Crawford on base for the GWRBI in the 8th inning.
