7 Game Losing Streak

The Giants have now been swept for sixth time this season and are now twelve games out of first place.  What the **** is wrong with them?  They are supposed to have one of the best starting rotations in the league and yet they just lost their seventh game in a row!  Zito gave up a grand slam in the bottom of the first today.  He allowed six runs in the first three innings! Is he really worth 126 million dollars?  Based on his performance so far this season, I don’t think so.  He’s now lost three out of his last five starts.  Lincecum got killed yesterday, allowing six runs in the first two innings.  Lowry didn’t do so hot Monday allowing five runs in as many innings.  And Morris was killed Sunday…I could continue you but I think you get the picture.  It’s a vicious cycle.  The bullpen has been good though.  Before today the relief pitchers hadn’t given up a run since Sunday and on Sunday they only allowed one.  In the past it had been the bullpen that struggled and now that they are doing good the starters are struggling.  And now the offense…what is with all these late game rallies?!  Can they not get hits unless they are down by six or more or something?  The past five games or so they have been close to coming back but fell short both times.  Monday and today they were really close.  After Molina’s grand slam I thought the guys would start making things happen but it didn’t turn out that way.  I have really been trying to stay positive but it’s getting really hard.  I keep telling myself it’ll be better tomorrow or the next game.  I keep telling myself it’s just a slump they’ll snap out of it.  But it has been getting harder and harder to believe that.  And then yesterday there was an article in the Fresno Bee that said Sabean says that trading Bonds before the season is over isn’t completely out of the question! He also said that trading some of the Giants other veterans is also a possibility.  I don’t think trading people is the answer.  Some kinks just need to be worked out and the Giants could be back on track to a winning season.  Well, at least I hope so.  I’ve learned that when it comes to baseball you don’t know anything for sure.  There is one thing that I do know, though; it’s going to be a really long summer.
