Giants score run against Max Scherzer, still lose

Imagine the Giants having someone like Ryan Zimmerman.

Not the actual guy, transported onto the team, as if that would have made a difference with this toilet season. But the idea. The fun that comes with watching a fan favorite crawl out of a pit of despair and reinvent himself. Or, more simply, a player who wildly exceeds expectations.

It seems ludicrous. He whomped the ball all series, and at no point did he look like anyone employed by the Giants. At no point did he look like anyone the Giants will ever employ again.

And when I’ve pointed out that it’s alright for spoiled fans to complain, my justification is that baseball seasons are long.
