Happy Monday, San Francisco Giants fans.
The Giants began Friday in prime position. They were holding onto the third Wild Card spot in the National League, and had a four-game set against the lowly Colorado Rockies. Then they did a very silly thing, and lost three consecutive games to the only team in the NL that’s been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.
Oops.
The Giants tried to salvage things on Sunday, when they hung on for dear life to avoid blowing a nine-run lead, and escaped Coors Field with at least one win in the four-game set.
