The Giants lost every conceivable way possible-- bad hitting, bad pitching, and bad base running. To add insult to injury, they lost two games against the Phillies on bad calls. Oh, their shiny new relief pitcher, LaTroy Hawkins? Got shelled. Maybe even more troublesome is that Jason Schmidt is not only not getting better, but getting worse. Either something's wrong with him, he's afraid of having something wrong with him, or he came down with a case of the dreaded Steve Blass Disease, where a once unhittable pitcher suddenly turns into a batting practice pitcher. How much did they stink up the joint last week? They screwed up the paperwork and botched Marquis Grissom's return to active play. At least a pornographic video on tolerance wasn't released to the press.
