After listening to the game this afternoon, I have to point out a definite warning sign of a non playoff team.

 

Before going into the umpires, there is something amiss in the Giants.

 

How can a team expect to win when they only score one run while the bases are loaded with NO outs? And against a RELIEF pitcher?

 

Look, they had the bases loaded TWICE and only managed one run!

 

Granted, the umpires made it interesting, but it should have been A BLOW OUT! It should have been over in the third inning!

 

The game was pathetic! The only player on the Giants that deserve a round of applause is Tim Lincecum for keeping his cool.

 

The Los Angeles Dodgers were handing you the game. A day where their bullpen pitched the entire game and the Giants could only score TWO RUNS.

 

Oh don’t give my that "the umpires almost lost us the game" BS! Again, bases were LOADED WITH NO OUTS AND ONLY ONE RUN SCORED!

 

I am sorry, but I have to say this. Damon Bruce you are WRONG. The umpires didn’t cost the Giants a DAMN THING! It should never have been that close to begin with!

 

You get 17 batters on base, no sorry 18 batters on base on only FOUR SCORE?!?!? That is THREE TIMES more base runners than the Dodgers had!

 

D Bruce if you are reading this, I think the Giants are punishing you for speaking the truth by having David Flemming ‘platoon’ with you on Sports Talk. I am shocked you spent the first half an hour ranting about the umpires and not once pointing this out.

 

Lincecum got robbed of a decision by his own team, NOT the umpires! It should not have been a nail biter! In my eyes, the Giants are not a playoff team at all.
