18 games in September: XIV

What does a contending team do when it loses back-to-back seppuku-inducing games at home to an inferior squad? It turns to savvy vets to right the ship! Barry Zito and Jose Guillen were the stars on Sunday in San Francisco. The Brewers got clobbered and The Streak™ reached 14 games. The Giants built a championship season on pitching, and the record-breaking run of games where they gave up 3 or fewer runs to the other team has not been fully appreciated by the rest of baseball. The Padres lost in St. Louis and the Giants went back on top by half a game.
