And the Giants win!!! Oh wait April Fools

A great way to start April Fool's day: Talk about the Giants relevance in this years World Series hunt. Get used to it Giants fans: a one run loss. Let's be honest, last year was an absolute joke that you won. If I woke up today and saw that you won the World Series as a funny on the front of the sports page for April Fools' Day, I wouldn't even buy it. Your best offensive weapon was... wait... drumroll please... Cody Ross!! And second place Aubrey Huff!! Wow, hell of an offensive lineup. This picture reminds me of the way you're season's going to go compared to last year.

Let's take a look at this year: yes Lincecum and Cain are back. Baumgartner is ok, and who knows what Zito is gonna do. the Red Sox trash Ramirez and Javier Lopez are decent in the bullpen, and Brian Wilson is an aminal. So that bodes well for an even decent offense. But, you have one of the worst offensive lineups in Major League baseball. Tonight's game is what you're entire season will be in a nutshell. You're starting pitcher gives up zero earned runs and you lose.

Instead of whining and trying to tell me that last year wasn't the luckiest thing since the Rockies made the World Series, just enjoy what was the luckiest season in the history of Major League Baseball. Take it. You won the World Series. We all get it. But to think you have a chance to repeat? You have to be from another planet.

The only foreseeable chance you have to repeat is if you get Brooks Conrad to start for every team you play against all year. Luckily for the Conrad, the Braves fans aren't as relentless as the Red Sox on Buckner; just think, the Giants could be just like the Mets in 86, and nobody remember that they won, just remember Brooks Conrad and how the Braves lost.
