I?m not quite sure where Bruce Jenkins of the San Francisco Chronicle is going here. ?He starts off strong with an amusing compare and contrast between a softball home-run-hitting exhibition which took place before last night?s Cubs-Giants game and the feckless Giants? bats.
But then he got into some commentary about Giants fans and their seeming obliviousness to the bad baseball with which they have recently been presented and which is sinking the Giants? playoff chances like a stone:
On any given night, your favorite Giant goes 0-for-4 against a team long dismissed from relevance. And?every?night, without fail, the park is filled with enthusiastic patrons, still wrapped in the comfort of last year?s world championship and getting only mildly upset with the proceedings.
I think Jenkins is OK with the show of loyalty ? he favorably compares Giants fans to ?Boston or Philadelphia, where the folks would be hurling insults, obscenities and Double-A batteries,? but there seems to be a bit of ?an?exasperated??wake up you idiots!? tone to this.
I guess it just goes back to the never-resolvable argument about whether ?good fans? continue to come out and cheer for a team going sideways or, rather, if they make the team pay for its incompetence at the turnstile.
