I’ve written a bunch of different opening sentences to start this recap, taking various angles on how to approach what occurred at Oracle Park between the Atlanta Braves and our San Francisco Giants this Friday night—but all of them have come off as stale, awkward, boring, not-good.
The root of the problem is that I have to actually use words to explain what happened and right now, after watching that game, words aren’t doing it for me.
I kind of just want to lay in my bed with the blankets pulled over my head and watch Donovan Solano’s two-strike-two-out-bottom-of-the-9th-game-tying home run disappear into the left field tunnel over and over and over.
