Now that we’ve landed in September on the calendar, the San Francisco Giants season comes down to the final 25 games.
It’s good that every one of those games are against the pathetic National League West, including six against the division leading (and not pathetic) Arizona Diamondbacks.
It’s also good that usually the starting pitchers bring their A games with them each time they toe the slab.
And that’s where they run out of good.
The bad is being six games behind in the standings. As well as a porous defense. And a woefully underperforming offense.
It’s not like I’m giving up on the dream of another World Series W, but it doesn’t look so good from my spot on the recliner.
Do any of you feel the same way or are you still drinking the orange Kool-Aid?
My Kool-Aid is a very lovely shade of red! 🙂
I hope to have my 89th cup this afternoon. 😀
As much as I like Orange October, I’ve got to agree with you on this one…but if they can swing it around….shoo…talk about torture!
We were at the park last night, Jason….anyone not drinkin’ the koolaid upon arrival was drunk with it by the final out….seriously intense and contagious!!
If my talking smack about the defense and offense results in a spectacular diving catch by Cody Ross and a 4 – 4 night with a tape measure shot by Carlos Beltran then I’ll do it before every game.
I don’t really follow baseball but love the idea of the Giants being a winning team.
What I really got out of this post is what a talented writer you are (again).
I’ve instructed my Padres to keep losing to the Gigantes and to stick it to the D bags. This is all I can do 🙂
Much appreciated, my friend.
