Still, I would trade places with the Dodgers in the standings as the Giants suspend giving up the ghost of finishing .500 for one more day. Mired is a really good word to describe the Giants position in the standings BTW. A late rally to finish third in the division might be the best salve for that pride thingy that Romo speaks of in the article.
Might have wanted to see a little more of that mentality earlier in the season, but WTH?
from Yahoo Sports:
Giants beat Dodgers 4-2 behind Bumgarner - Yahoo Sports:
Mired in last place, the defending World Series champion Giants have been reduced to playing out the string.
''We do want to finish strong,'' Romo said. ''There's a lot of pride here.''
Madison Bumgarner (12-9) allowed two runs and five hits in six innings, extending his streak of allowing three earned runs or fewer in each of his past 18 starts. The left-hander struck out six and walked two in picking up his first win since Aug. 2, a span of seven starts.
''When you're going up against a guy like him (Kershaw), you got to try to at least keep it a tie,'' Bumgarner said.'via Blog this'
