The San Francisco Giants are in a tail spin. They lost their 7th consecutive game today vs. the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Giants weren't doing so well before the losing streak started (30-34) but now they are at 30-41, a full 12 games behind the San Diego Padres in the NL West.

The Giant's season has diminished into nothing more than the Barry Bonds career home run chase. And speaking of the case: Bonds got the day off to rest. He get 1 pinch hit at bat. He got to second base on an error. He stands at 748 home runs, 7 shy of Hank Aaron.

Big contract Giants starting pitcher Barry Zito had another disappointing performance as his record dropped to 6 wins and 8 losses with a 4.83 ERA.

In other sad Giants news rookie pitcher Tim Lincecum who is supposed to be the savior of the franchise has been absolutely horrible in June. He has an 0-2 record with a 10.61 ERA in 4 June starts.

They gotta be in sell mode now. Just who would want any of the crap they have? If you traded Ray Durham, someone worse than that would hit behind Bonds. You might as well just put up a "JUST WALK ME" sign up.

I figure they could shop some of their starting pitchers ... matt morris in particular. he just had a shit start but he's having a good season (7-4, 3.21) zito is untradable due to his contract... i dont want them to consider trading cain or lincecum as they are "the future" ... (hopefully)

as far as the "just walk me" sign - I think that's been up all year. Bonds isn't having the greatest season (although .283/.490/.572 ain't half bad) he's still easily the best hitter on the giants. he's leading the NL in OPS but of course that's because of his inflated OBP due to all of the IBB and all of the "pitch very carefullies" that lead to more walks. on a normal team getting walked is good but it doesn't seem to help the Giants much.
