18 games in September: XII

I think I wrote a hell of a piece the first go-round--you should read it again. It is nice to relive those heady days. The Giants won the World Series, but they had to lose to the Brewers along the way. Randy Wolf shut out the Giants on Friday night in San Francisco, the third time in a six-game span the team had failed to score. But The Streak is all about pitching. The Giants critical mass of above-averageness in the lineup managed to work, in the end, but the team relied on pitching, pitching, pitching, and more pitching to win. The staff gave up 18 runs in the first 12 games and the team went 8-4.
