The Torture Cast

The Giants may be a bad team after all. They followed up a historic winless six game homestand with a 4-2 roadtrip, and came right back home and lost five of six, meaning the Giants have lost 13 of their last 14 at home. They last time the franchise did that was 1940 in New York. They are below .500 for the season, on the road, and at home. Their only winning month is April. Their second half is atrocious, and they are 18-33 since being tied for first with the Dodgers on June 13. This is their fourth consecutive season of having a winning record in the first half, followed by a second half collapse. Visions of the postseason snatched away by ineptitude of the summer. But why? What is happening? The players don't know, BoMel doesn't know, but we all know that they stink and they have for quite some time. Their hitting is near the league bottom, they can't hit with runners in scoring position, and they are striking out at a prodigious rate. And don't get us started on the physical and mental errors on the field
