Wow, somebody in that division might get a winning record.

1. 83
I'd be shocked if the winner in that division has more than 83 wins. LA, SD & Arizona all have some serious holes.

2. My Giants are a humiliating 15 games under .500 and our
GM is talking about an exciting second half since we're in a "pennant race."

15 fuckin games below .500, and he's selling his embarrassment of a team as potentially making the playoffs.

What a disgrace.

3. They're my Giants, too
They came to San Francisco when I was six years old and I've been a Giants fan since.

When the GM talks like that, it's a sure sign that his job is on the line.

5. Sure, but even you have to admit...
...being just 14 games behind is progress for your boys.

7. Why not bring Barry back? Since the Yankees didn't take him, he's still
available. Should be able to hit a few homers.

8. Don't look now, but they're two games under
And they're sharing the lead. :D



Of course, this is likely to change over the weekend — one way or the other.
