With the San Francisco Giants off to their best start since 2003, and before they have a chance to fall off that pace — that team started 13-1 — I thought it would be fun to commiserate about that season by ranking my memories of it from worst to best.
2003 was a transitional year. They’d lost the World Series in devastating fashion the previous October and their relationships with Dusty Baker and Jeff Kent had become frayed to the point that it was time to move on. Unlike NFL teams that lose the Super Bowl, though, the Giants reloaded and were even better than the year before, winning 100 games.
