I am saying what I have always said and that is that I think the Cards should win the series. That isn't saying the Giants didn't play well but that the Cards should win.
When I use the words I give Giants credit that seems very similar to giving another team credit. The fact that I didn't think they were a better team coming into the series has nothing to do with giving them credit for what they did over the past 3 games.
It is possible to give another team credit and still be upset with the way your team played.
