SAN DIEGO - If you handed a Giants player the choice of a trip to Petco Park or the Department of Motor Vehicles, he might have to think about it for a few seconds.
For a variety of reasons, this ballpark has been a fun blocker for the Giants. They can feel great about themselves until they pass through its faux adobe walls. Six-game win streak? See ya.
Sometimes an explanation is elusive, because the Giants can play poorly here even when the Padres are struggling, but Monday night's 4-2 loss was easy to peg.
