A lot has happened since I last posted here at Croix De Candlestick. The Giants swept the Dodgers in an inspirational series at home, sending the Bums back to LA a broken team.

The last three games against Arizona have been nothing short of spectacular to say the least. There’s been timely hitting, solid pitching, action, adventure, romance, and fun for the whole family. So needless to say, I missed what looked on paper to be the best game of the series.
