Thomas and I both had to work at game time Thursday, so this wrap is a bit delayed. It’s currently 12:30 am on Friday, and I’m watching the game on DVR, writing the wrap in the bottom of the fourth inning. Because that’s the kind of game this is going to be. Again.
This Marlins series was never going to go well. Most of you may not remember when the Giants played the Marlins May 24-26 last year, but it wasn’t particularly pleasant. I’m not going to go into much detail, but it’s a chapter of our lives that you might get shot for talking about. Everything was lining up so perfectly for this series to be a terrible one. The Giants squeaked out a series win against a bad Padres team, and they knew that Dennis Hopper’s bomb would explode if they got more than two games over .500, so they didn’t want to risk it.
Honestly, I would’ve been happy if the Giants could’ve just avoided the sweep, and tried to have a series against the Marlins that didn’t result in a traumatic injury to a star player.
