The San Francisco Giants have been playing hot garbage baseball for a month and a half now.
Since the All-Star Break They’ve dropped 10 of their last 12 in a majestic swan-dive out of postseason relevancy and are now below .500 for the first time all year. After back-to-back sweeps by a very good team (Mets) and a very bad team (Pirates), it’s clear their struggles have evolved beyond an eye sore, and become an odor, a stenchy mixture of stale sweat, rotting food scrap, and curdled milk.
For many of you, there’s little point in digging around in the muck for an explanation to the suck.
