I began last night’s recap by saying that the Giants were bad again. They had turned back into pumpkins, and any delusions of a Wild Card hunt needed to stop. It appears that I was too hasty in my proclamation. The Giants are still good. They’re just six games back. They’ve come back from greater deficits. As soon as they come back from the All-Star break, they play the Brewers who currently hold the second Wild Card spot. Destiny is in the Giants’ hands.
If nothing else, this recent hot streak has done wonders for the Giants’ run differential.
