5th inning: 8-10
6th inning: 7-11
7th inning: 9-9
8th inning: 6-12

Jeff Samardzija and the Giants got smacked around in Guaranteed Rate Field tonight, ending the 8th seasonal inning very poorly with a 6-12 mark. Eighteen games left, my friends, and our ordeal will be over. 56-88 isn't the worst record in baseball, but it's damn close.

In this inning there were two three-game losing streaks and one four-game losing streak. I'm going to drink some whiskey.

When you play like little league-rs, can't you just initiate the mercy rule and call this season done? Since we can't, I guess I'll continue to root for 99 losses or less. There, that a positive thought, eh?

That's been my fervent wish for months: 99 losses. They have to win 7 of the next 18 games. That's .389 ball, that's exactly where they are right now. 56-88 is 7-11 done eight times!
