I'm still a Giants fan. I still love 'em for what they did last year. But goddamn if this isn't the worst offense that I've ever seen.
They had a stat window pop up during the game. Apparently 3 of the 4 least-supported pitchers in the league are from the Giants. That's just wrong. Lincecum, Cain, and Bumgarner should all have at least 15 wins by now. Vogelsong too, even though he wasn't listed. If this team had a real offense to go with these pitchers they would have the best record in the league, hands down.

It's understandable, they are kicking all kinds of ass. It's good to see the Brewers do well. I like that team, even though I don't follow them regularly.
no, he'll turn Dr Jeckel again, for one game remind everyone of what they hoped to get with $86 million and then he'll continue sliding. When he's good he's genius, when he's bad he's terrible.
Yeah, he's got this ability to make you think he's going for a no hitter, you go get a beer, and you come back and he's given up 3 or 4 runs.
They had to take him out of a game with a double digit lead.
AJ Burnett is a 50-50 pitcher at best. He has no confidence in his fastball, which makes the rest of his pitches ineffective, and that shitty knuckleball he tries to use is junk - most batters won't even offer because they know it's not a strike.
The sick thing is, if he moved a few inches to the right on the rubber, it might be a nasty pitch, skirting the corner of the plate consistently. As it is, it trails too far inside and no one's fooled.

The Giants start a sink-or-swim series with the D-Backs tonight. If they lose the series, it's basically over (the season is on life support as it is). Bochy made a lot of changes and is trying to light a fire, so maybe it will work out. Or the D-Backs will stomp them. One way or the other.
They just look so lifeless out there, ya know? Like half the team hasn't even been trying over the last month.Yeah, I'm hoping the Giants can get it done, but I'm not too optimistic with the way things have been going lately.
... and so ends the Giants' season. Barring one of the most ridiculous collapses in baseball history, the D-Backs have this one locked up.
And at least Beltran tried. He's not the worst trade in Giants' history anymore. Hopefully the return of Posey and Freddy Sanchez next year will give the Giants an actual offense. They need it, because this year showed that even one of the best pitching staffs in baseball still needs more than 1-2 runs of support per game. Shocking, I know.

: Great. Keep losing games, you boners.I think it's amazing that the Giants have basically fallen apart so quickly over the last month and a half. They look to be the worst team in the league all of a sudden. So many people are on the DL now. And it seems like only the really important players got hurt this year, with serious injuries no less, while the bastards who can't play for shit are bulletproof.
FTFY.
It's the Pirates. Not that amazing really.FTFY.
Yeah, no. The Pirates weren't in the middle of defending a championship amidst unfounded claims that they only won because of a fluke. As stupid as it is, now every obnoxious asshole is going to point to the Giants collapse as proof that they shouldn't have won the World Series in 2010.FTFY.
