The tale of the last Giants team seduced by the siren call of .500

The Giants are currently a game under .500, because they’ve played an odd number of games, which makes it very difficult for them to be .500. They’ve spent 21 days at .500 this year, and ... you know what? I got that stat from Alex Pavlovic and I should let him say it.

Per Stats LLC, the Giants have spent 21 days at .500 this year and 67 days at .500 or within a game of .500. They are who they are.

It’s been a frustrating year for Giants fans who are waiting for the tantalizing breakout that is probably never going to come, but what if I told you that this wasn’t the first time?
