The best “worst team” in baseball, or the worst “best team” in baseball?

The G-men are now locked into 2nd place, 5 and a half games behind LA but still 6 games over .500. Their shot at the division gets longer every day, and their shot at the wild card is even in jeopardy.

Welcome to the hospital Ward:

The Giants of 2014 are flawed and injury prone but incredibly resilient. The boys are (after losing to Kershaw last night) a half-game out of first and ten games over .500.  They just came off a 5 and 2 road trip to open the second half of the season but have dropped two games at home to the two best Dodgers pitchers in a ball park apparently full of thugs from LA (more about that later).

It’s July and it HAS to get better:

The losing streak continues. After being in first place for almost 3 months the Giants have gone 5 and 20 since the Nationals came into town at the end of the first week in June and took 3 out of 4.  It’s now the end of the first week in July and, even in the face of the disaster that has been June the G-Men are still only a half-game behind the Dodgers who lost to the Tigers while the G-men are currently (and once again) being pounded by the A’s.  That’s probably the most unreal fact of all.

Let’s get the Bad Karma out of the way right now:

The G-Men are coming off their worst losing streak of the year.  Up until winning 2 out of 3 from the Snakes in AZ this weekend, they dropped 9 out of 10.
