This game is the matchup of two veteran TITANS, both who hold the claim to being "pretty decent" in span of their careers, who have been thrust into teams beyond their original grandeur.

This is the clash of two also-ran teams, both fighting for their very being - that is, being disappointing to their fanbases.

This is 2 teams, who not long ago faced off on a October evening at the peak of their games, almost tasting the postseason - albeit, both teams had pretty much completely different rosters at that point than they do now.

This: is NL West baseball.

Buster Posey points to a pair of regular sneakers at the foot of his locker. Those shoes signify serious progress for San Francisco’s injured catcher. The reigning NL Rookie of the Year no longer needs a scooter, crutch or walking boot to make his way around AT&T Park. He considers himself on target to return [...]
