ARLINGTON -- The Giants' succession of excruciatingly close decisions and their late-season comeback to win the National League West tell their story. Little, if anything, comes easily for them.

Thus, their 4-2 loss to the Texas Rangers in Saturday night's Game 3 of the World Series could have been expected.

There's no way the Giants would take a 3-0 Series lead. Not after a season in which adversity accompanied triumph. Not given their history, which includes exactly zero world championships since 1954.
