Giants Take Pity, Lose to Tigers 6-3

what kind of high five is that? come on man

Amidst all the brouhaha of the All-Star selections today, the Giants jumped out to an early lead behind Ryan Vogelsong. Midway through the game, they noticed the Indians were about to lose to the Reds, so they flubbed a couple of plays, coughed up a few walks, hit into some lucky catches, and allowed the Tigers to close the gap in their playoff race. You know, because they've been so hospitable.

Anyway, lots more WASTED OPPORTUNITIES in this one, like stranding more leadoff doubles, not getting third outs on easy plays, etc etc.

Hard to feel bad about a 4-3 road trip, but let's see what the rest of the way to the All-Star break has in store.

Giants Lose to the Cubs 5-2 in 13 Innings

I know, Matty. I know.

If you had to have two words to describe the 2011 Giants, it would probably be "WASTED OPPORTUNITIES."

The Giants blow two leads after the Cubs get down to their last out (their last strike, twice!), Matt Cain gives up no runs in seven innings, Brian Wilson gives up his first home run of the year, and the phenomenal bullpen gives the Cubs two walk-off wins in two days.

This was a butthole of a game. An enormous, stinky butthole. The Giants wasted a million trillion opportunities here and they can go to hell. They probably won't win another game for the rest of the season.

Feelings.
