Bad Luck and Bad Hitting

After posting an article about how I’m not convinced the Giants are a playoff team, they go ahead and get shutout by Charlie Morton and a Pirates team that had lost 10 games in a row before last night.  In our roundtable yesterday the point was made that this is a team that could...

Is This A Playoff Team?

Series Preview: Phillie Phun

Here were are with yet another one of those “most important series of the year” sort of scenarios.  But the Giants don’t need to win to prove anything to anyone right now.  They need to win so that they don’t end the weekend in second place looking up at Arizona.  And while the Giants...
