They're not very good at home (33-31 vs. 40-23 on the road), so they can't seem to pull away from the A's which has home and road records almost exactly opposite. If Tampa could figure out how to win in St. Pete, they'd be golden. I'm hoping that doesn't happen (and I do actually like the Rays). Would love to see October baseball in the East Bay again.
We do Extra Innings so we can watch the Giants (and A's) broadcast of every game, except when they play the Twins, Royals, Cards, Cubs, WSox, or Brewers (F-you, MLB, for your blackout BS!!), but likely will do streaming starting next year. It's great when they play in a time zone OTHER than Pacific, so I can watch an entire game easily. Home games for either team suck for weeknight watching, since they're over long after I've reached the point of not being able to keep my eyes open. So, I feel your 'pain' completely.Been a Yankee fan since I was a little kid in the early 1960's and have always dreaded the west coast trips. Regardless of how good a team the Yanks have in any given year they never seem to do well on the far road trips, like .500 is the best. Of course, back than, I was struggling to even get the late scores the next day and now I can stream the game if I want to. Don't miss looking at the Wednesday morning paper looking for the Monday night box score.
Not really. They've been within 2-5 games back of the second WC spot for about six weeks.
Exactly. On June 27th they were 34-46, last place in their division, 20.5 games back of first, and one of the worst teams in baseball. They went on the hot streak of all hot streaks in July to get back into the WC hunt. If they play even .500 ball the first three months of the season then I would agree with you, but you guys were really bad. Streaming a pitcher playing the Giants in SanFran was a fantasy baseball person's wet dream for quite a while.
