This is who the Giants are. Why blow one lead when you can blow two leads, right?

Giants blow two leads, lose in 10th to Rockies - San Francisco Chronicle:

After the Giants reached the one-third point of the season at 25-29, manager Bruce Bochy said they plan to have Bumgarner throw one more minor-league game at San Jose on Thursday to extend his pitch count.

At 25-29 a third of the way through I get 75-87, not much better than last year, and that's before surrendering into being a seller at the trade deadline. The feeling I get is that the Giants are 1-3 versus +.500 teams and no better than .500 against below .500 teams. They struggle to win series' against bad teams, let's face it.

So 27-54 versus good teams and 40.5-40.5 versus bad teams equals 67.5 - 94.5, let's round that up to 68-94, although I'm not even sure the Giants have shown anything worthy of even that 0.5 game bump up.

So, somewhere between 68 and 75 win. This team is done.
