Although I can’t locate any of these pieces, I know for sure that I’ve referenced Matt Cain’s start in Colorado at the end of 2010 many times over the years when discussing the San Francisco Giants and a late season playoff push. Well, here we are again watching the Giants in a very similar situation.
In 2010, the Giants rolled into Coors up half a game in the NL West having just overtaken the Padres finally a week earlier. The Rockies, though, weren’t the pushovers they are now and were still in the hunt, too.
