Giants remind you that playing good baseball can lead to wins

When I was writing up the gamethread for today's contest between the San Francisco Giants and Milwaukee Brewers, I was feeling optimistic.It was hard not to.First I was looking at Alex Cobb's stats.He's having a delightful season - one that should merit All-Star consideration if he keeps it up.And he's been especially brilliant in his last two appearances, shutting out the St. Louis Cardinals in a complete game, and then looking like he was pitching in a normal park at the ridiculous Mexico City elevation against the San Diego Padres.
