Gah!

Well, the Giants dropped 2 out of 3 to the D-Backs, placing them squarely behind the 8-ball.  The D-Backs now have a 7 game lead.

Now mired in a somewhat  meaningless series with the Padres (assuming AZ keeps winning), most hope is lost.  The Giants literally have to win out (they might be able to drop one of 2 of the last 21, but they'd have to hope AZ plays no better than 2 games over .500 for that to work).

Still got my playoff  'stache going.  At least until the end.

Game 4:Two big innings blow the game/series, Giants lose 7-5

Zito is always so effin' unstable in the first inning of every start.
And, come on -- isn't it time to pull the plug on Dan Runzler?  That Marc Kroon had a like 1.8 ERA.
Also, not sure Huff is working out in right.

Giants lose the series 1-3.  Got two in San Diego, who just took 2 out of 3 from St. Louis.  Of course, they dropped the last one, and that might slow them a bit.  I'd really like to take both games in San Diego.  With Bumgarner and Timmy pitching, it should be possible.
