I agree with some of this (my previous rant about individual games, not series wins being all that matters, lol), but the Giants aren't a contender. They'd be well served to admit it and get out of baseball purgatory. I agree that individual wins are all that really matters. I think the whole "winning series" thing is just a gauge on how you are doing. If you win all the series you play in, you are going to be a playoff team. Of course no one does that but it is a goal that is going to lead to success.
