😢SF Giants have lost 13 of the last 14 home games.

5 Runs total in the last 5 games.

They must be corking their bats, as in 100% cork.

An enigma, wrapped in a mystery wrapped in a bowl of garlic fries.

My neighbor goes to one or two games a year. He happened to go to that 1 of 14. RockRaven Aug 2025 #3

The year that San Diego lost 10 games to put the Giants in playoffs? They took the title that year. 2010? usonian Aug 2025 #6

No, this was in the early '80s (n.t.) Oeditpus Rex Aug 2025 #7

I was way too busy with work and family to follow baseball then! usonian Aug 2025 #8

I used to watch the games live. Then I started to record them, so I could fast forward through any ugliness. Then I would record them, check the final score on line, and delete it if they lost.

As you can imagine, that’s been a humongous time saver…

That, at least, was a good game to attend.

to blame it all on Rafael Devers, but the Red Sox are 9-5 over that same stretch.

I remember three -club pennant races with the Giants and San Diego. I'd halve two radios going, one of which was locked on the Dodgers station (I fine-tuned it and then removed the knob) and the other going back and forth between the Giants' and Padres' stations. If two if the three were playing each other, that made it all the easier to follow.

It was the greatest time a fan can have, unless they're one of those cretins who wants to clinch by Sept. 1, 15 games in front.
