If anyone is in need of some hope and change it's the Giants.
Perhaps before they leave they can learn how to manipulate the W-L statistic to make the team appear less like a last place team and more like the champions and playoff contenders they are supposed to be.
Other than that, any day that Willie Mays is honored is a good day for baseball. More recently, any day that the Giants do not fall further away from first place is also a pretty good day for the team.
from Giants Extra:
The Giants came to the White House with a decidedly different vibe this time around. They were 59-43 and four games ahead in the National League West when they visited in 2011, but entered the famous gates Monday in last place, 10 games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers. The summer slide has the Giants considering trading away marquee pieces before Wednesday’s deadline, but for a few minutes Monday, the recent struggles and the looming uncertainty were put away. All of the attention was on a man who earned a second term nine days after the Giants earned a second title.“It’s a tremendous honor,” catcher Buster Posey said. “I’m very humbled that the president could take a little bit of time out of his busy schedule to invite us here and spend some time with us. We’re out here in a beautiful place on a beautiful day and getting to celebrate a great accomplishment.”
