Giants Drop Into Second Place

Good grief. After a 2-0 loss in Chicago last night, and after San Diego's 3-1 victory in Los Angeles, the Giants have (temporarily, please) dropped to second place. "The 2010 Giants will be remembered for great pitching and a feast-or-famine offense that is more famine than feast," said the Chronicle's Henry Schulman. "It has been that way for 152 games and surely will stay that way for the final 10 and into the playoffs, if they get there." So, whatever voodoo or OCD magic trick you do before a Giants game -- if you have a ritual, let us know what it is in the comments -- please let it blossom in full force today without apology. SF plays Chicago at 4:05 (PST).
