You can't load the bases on two walks and an error and then give up a homer. The result is you go down 9-6 to San Diego, and reduce the "magic number" to 2. Now, with one more victory today or tomorrow, the Padres take it.

And even if you win those two games, the Padres are not going to lose out. And you are not going to win out.

I love you, Giants, and I still hope you pull it out. It's a long time till next year.
