The Giants picked up a half-game on the Phillies. Here are the standings:
Phillies 22-46
Giants 26-46 (2.0 GB)
This is all there is to care about. This is all there is to follow. This is our divisional race now. This is the Giants’ only hope.
The Giants picked up a half-game on the Phillies. So this was a positive result, you see.
I don’t really believe that. If the Giants had the first-overall pick in 2008, they might have picked Pedro Alvarez. Rooting for the worst record in baseball isn’t all Ken Griffeys, Jr.
