Runaway Season
The season sure looks like it's getting away from the Giants in a
hurry. Last night was a perfect example. While Jason Schmidt got
knocked around pretty thoroughly in his second start back from the
disabled list, the big problem for the Giants has been their offensive
output. Last night's tally: 0 runs, 4 hits.

Outside of Bonds, there isn't a lot going on. Only Grissom and Durham
have averages over .300. Snow, Perez, Alfonzo, and Tucker/Hammonds all
are underproducing, way below even my own diminished expectations. Sure
the pitching has been awful. Williams has been pretty good, but
everyone else looks bad. But this team needs to score runs to have a
shot. Of course that isn't going to happen.

Oh, and Jason: Mick LaSalle sucks. Lars Von Trier does not.
