Pretty sure the rest of the country hates the Giants now, if they didn't already. This is like the worst kind of trolling.

It doesn't matter how well the Giants are playing now. It doesn't matter how poorly they finished the season, or if they have the GoBots to the Dodgers' new set of Transformers. They have a chance to troll the damned world.

They have a chance to troll the damned world.

Think of an 88-win Giants team going from the second wild card to the NLCS, ending the season of two teams along the way. Think of them winning the pennant with this limping, inconsistent mess. Think of them winning the World Series for the third time in five years. Think of how many people that would royally cheese off. Start with the Dodgers fans. End with the Cardinals fans. Do it the other way around. Mix in some A's fans. They would all be unfathomably bitter. Each of those teams would have their Jose Cruz, Jr. or Sidney Ponson, the goats whose mere names can define a season. The Giants would have another championship and parade. All they have to do is go 12-8 against four different teams.

They can do that. They were 12-4 from August 20 through September 6. In that stretch, they beat Doug Fister and David Price, and they lit up Stephen Strasburg. You don't even have to go back to the absurd stretches in April and May to find a stretch with Giants winning six out of every 10 games.

This is from the crazy man who predicted a WS sweep back in 2012 before the series started.

Watching the highlights, seeing the sloppy play, Giants won again on that?

That had exactly 2 hits after the first inning and one of the hits was Tim Hudson with 2 outs. They won close games in 2010 but shit at least some of the guys were hitting. In 2012 Buster Posey was hitting with power and Pablo and Scutaro were Kolten Wong level on fire.

You have some selective memory. In 2012 the offense looked terrible in the games they lost. There's a reason they were almost eliminated in both the NLDS and NLCS.

it's the baseball equivalent of fuckball. Our only hope is that the Royals (or O's if they come back) wipe the floor with either of these bum ass teams in the World Series.

There is no stopping the even-year voodoo.

But the last two games have showed me that a hypothetical Royals-Cards matchup would only end in embarrassment for our defense.
