It's Over
Fittingly it was a bullpen collapse that ends the Giants season. An impressive Matt Moore held the Cubs at bay over eight innings but five relievers gave up four runs in the final frame to doom our Game Five hopes. It was a longshot, but it sure looked like it would pay off. Alas, the Giants could not overcome their fatal flaw–relief pitching–and the Cubs prevailed and continue their impressive run. It could have been otherwise. The Giants had a real shot to take this game, but we’ve said that a lot this season. The Giants lost a heap o’games this year that they really ought to have won, and this was just another to add to the pile. Except that it ended the season. I suppose the shock and dismay are muted a bit by the inevitability. You knew the ‘pen would gag a big one at some point. Welcome to that place, my friends. I was looking forward to Cueto v. Lester on Thursday, perhaps the baseball gods punished me for my hubris. If so, all I can say is mea culpa.
I reckon there will be lots to talk about this off-season. There always is. We’ll get to it, I’m sure. Right now I need a break. The Giants are done. So am I.
Readers, writers, lurkers, commenters, followers, friends, and fans: thank you, as always, for joining me on this journey.
