Also, a hit by pitch may have clinched the MVP for Giancarlo Stanton.

This is so f*cking stupid.
Seriously. HOW MANY ONE RUN GAMES CAN THEY LOSE?
I’m tired of hearing about how they need Cespedes. I’m tired of saying how a bounce here and a bounce there and this would be a 5 game winning streak! I’m tired of wasted pitching performances and blown leads!
Another 1-0 loss. Another game where 1 run was insurmountable! Come on! I have people asking me is this the worst collapse I have ever seen.
(It isn’t even the worst collapse of 2014! That belongs to the Brewers so far.)
But this is so dumb and tiring and boring that I don’t even want to write about it. Win some games! I don’t care how. Win by a lot or win by a little.
Despite all this crap, they’d still host the Wild Card Game. You have 17 games to find out how to score about 2 more runs a game and shut the whole “It was a mistake to deal Cespedes narrative” up.
I guess I should update the Dodged Bullet/Teeth Grinder tally.
An explanation of what this is all about can be found HERE.
GIANTS DODGED BULLET – TEETH GRINDER Tally
54 Dodged Bullets 48 Teeth Grinders
TOTAL: +5
A’S DODGED BULLET – TEETH GRINDER Tally
Scott Kazmir pitched brilliantly, allowing just 1 run over 8 innings. But that was 1 run too many as Chris Sale and the White Sox shut down the A’s 1-0. TEETH GRINDER
50 Dodged Bullets 52 Teeth Grinders
TOTAL: -2
RED SOX DODGED BULLET – TEETH GRINDER Tally
Clay Buchholz pitched another solid start for the Red Sox and Jemile Weeks drove home a pair of insurance runs to secure a 6-3 win over the Royals. DODGED BULLET
Dodged Bullets 61 Teeth Grinders 74
TOTAL: -13
Giants play the Dodgers starting tonight. If the Giants sweep, they will be in first place by themselves.
I’m just saying.
