For a brief moment, it looked like the San Francisco Giants might actually pull off a win over the Houston Astros. After trailing 6-1 entering the ninth inning, the Giants had scored 3 runs and put the tying run on base.
But when Evan Longoria’s tepid fly ball fluttered back to earth and into the warm embrace of a leather fist, and the scorebook was closed for the night, you went back to remembering what the game really felt like.
As with most things in life, you can look at it from a glass half full or a glass half empty perspective.
