The San Francisco Giants beat the St. Louis Cardinals 11-3 on Tuesday night in a very weird game. A very, very, very weird game.
It wasn’t weird in the sense of an unexpected performance, or a wild comeback, or an improbable outcome, or a roller-coaster narrative. It was weird in the way your fleeting dreams are weird ... you know the ones I’m talking about. The ones where you’re wandering through the woods and find a hot pink toilet with artificial grass for a seat, and you want to poop in it but when you lift the lid you realize it’s full of fancy cheese, and when you reach to grab the cheese there’s nothing there because you’re floating in a hot air balloon grasping at clouds, and this makes you happy until you turn around and realize there’s no one else in the hot air balloon and you don’t know how to fly hot air balloons.
