Giants are only 3 games out of the Wild Card with their leading hitter at .257, their leading homerun guy at 13 and on the DL and no starter with more than 7 wins or an ERA below 3.86. Amazing.

That is crazy . The Dodgers have five players with 13 or more HRs and another at 12. Two of them are not even starters for the Dodgers.

It must be fun to be a Dodger fan these days with all those balls flying out of the park each day. They hit more homers in a game than the Giants hit in 3 weeks

I very much care about the team 5 years ago, and 7 and 9 too, kind of a dumb thing to say...
Why is it a dumb thing to say? I have been a dodger fan since 1958 and you don't see me talking about the past dodger teams of 1959, 1963, 1965, 1981 and 1988. I guess it's just me, but I don't like to dwell on the past, I like to live in the present.

So there is no difference between recent past vs generational past?

Gotcha.

30 years is a long time. Ignore if you must. I get it. But it is still there.

5 years is long time as well.

But it isn’t 30 years...

All alone in second now and only 2 back of the Wild Card. 17 of the last 20.

Okay fair enough, all I have to say is the Giants are playing good baseball and good luck the rest of the season.

""Posey put the signs down and Coonrod opened eyes while obeying. He struck out Baez on a 97 mph fastball, got Bryant swinging through 99 mph, and induced a harmless grounder from Rizzo.""

Nice!

Giants are down 4 to 1 in the 6th. They got the Cubs right where they want them so they can come from behind for the third day in a row with a 5 to 4 victory.

I kinda live in today. Today it must suck to be a Giants fan.
No. Its getting much better. A team of castoffs and has-beens has won 17 of their last 20 and climbed from last place to second place. Its pretty cool.

Im sure its cool watching them win but arnt second third place hovering around .500?
Interesting if they keep MadBum and or Will Smith. They could get some good prospects for both. If they keep them and still miss playoffs or just play one playoff game they will have lost an opportunity to get better quicker.

Doesn't matter the record; once you are in, its anybody's ballgame. The Giants are now, because of this streak, between a rock and a hard place with the trading deadline. Do they hang on to their players and hope to get into the playoffs or give up and try to stockpile some young guys by trading Bumgarner and/or Smith.

True once you're in no telling what can happen. There's like six teams in the mix right now for those two spots. Lots of baseball to play

Yep. I haven't given up hope yet.
