A few weeks back, I picked the Padres as the team that would need to collapse in order for the Giants to sneak into the postseason. But that was when I was writing from a place of generosity. This is a Giants fan site, so why not give the Giants the benefit of the doubt? They’ll be competitive these next few weeks! Wow, was I wrong.
The Padres are good, the Giants are not. Maybe a week from now we can start calling the Giants bad, but for now let’s just say they’re unwatchable. The Padres, though, have managed to contend while rebuilding, and they’re doing with young and exciting players.
