Winning Season
The SF Giants beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-2 this evening, thus winning their 82nd game this season. This guarantees that they will have a winning season, as the season is 162 games long. With 10 games left to play, they’ll win a few more before the season is out (the most likely number is 5 games).
Barring a collapse by the Colorado Rockies, the Giants won’t be in the playoffs this time around, but given that a) the Giants haven’t had a winning season since 2004 and b) the Giants were widely predicted to be pretty lousy this year, I’m quite pleased. This year has been fun to follow.

And they almost gained another game on the Rocks tonight, if not for that Cubs’ top of the 9th 2-run HR by the (get ready for it) FORMER ROCKY Jeff Baker. Baseball . . . it’ll break your heart every damned time.
