Well, here we are. It’s September, and the season is nearly done, along with the San Francisco Giants’ playoff chances.
It was only a matter of time. Teams ranking in the bottom half of nearly every statistical category across baseball don’t sneak their way into the playoffs, no matter how magical of a run they had in July. Since the beginning of August, the Giants are 11-19. Since my unintentional jinx on the team, they have gone 1-6. They’re once again the tanking team we’ve come to know and love the past three seasons.
