one of the worst days in my life
after having the best record in baseball and being on top after more than 100 days it all come crashing down tonight
i feel the Giants need to win the division this year and that is more important than winning another World Series. in 2014, the Giants Won the World Series despite not winning the division, the Dodgers reign in the West needs to end and this year felt right
also this Texas, supreme court thing really bothers me
why go on...

The only thing that would bring me down this year is if the Giants lose to the Dodgers in the postseason and/or the Bums win it all again.
This season is already found money (I mean they sit at 85 wins right now... a total that I would have considered amazing progress if they ended that way). They have a top 10 farm now. Tons of money coming off the books. Possibility of signing Bryant. Proven elite hitting can happen at 24 Willie Mays Plaza without the roids. I can go on. They should be competitive for some time now and the best Faidi years are still ahead. I don't see them pulling off a WS win this year since the starting pitching is completely unreliable outside of Webb, but they could get close.
Padres have had a classic case of "celebrating at half time" a la the Falcons in the Super Bowl and a ton of injuries. They can still sneak in and grab a Wild Card spot though. They remind me a bit of the 2nd half 2016 Giants but with 1000% more hubris. Until they win something that hubris will only hinder them. Perhaps they need to lose more before they truly can pull one out, a la the Dodgers.

Speaking of - Dodgers are expected to win 100+, expected to win the division, expected to go deep and/or win it all.
Anything short of that is a satisfying dose of schadenfreude.

Was watching Lee the other day, his batting approach is rather unique so I looked up his first 5 weeks of MLB stats.
He primarily bats lead off so you'd expect him to walk a lot... yet he doesn't: 7.2% BB/PA.
That said he doesn't strike out a tremendous amount either: 8.6% K/PA
His MLB OBP (.304) is tracking about 3/4ths of his KBO career (.407), which is worrying enough but his power has simply evaporated in MLB (.071 ISO, .317 SLG) compared to his .340/.407/.491/.898 KBO career line.
He's performing barely replacement level which is a tough swallow for an untradeable OF due to make >$20M/yr in the next 5 years.
