Hell, I never thought the wheels were ever on!  (Wasn't the Giants' worst L of the season the opener?).  Thus, I cop to being in that group from the jump.  

As a Giants fan, I can't recall a more enjoyable regular season than this one.  

P.S.   As stated previously, I'm now rooting for one thing fervently:  that this team get to play a real playoff series (as opposed to the one-and-done "post-season").  That's not too much to ask . . . is it?

That loss was a rough one.  For my money, the worst was the 11-1 pounding by the Padres on May 9, dropping SFG to 20-14.  Got so bad that Darin Ruf pitched the last inning, giving up two runs. That was pretty bad.

Dodgers lost, now 2.5 behind the Giants.  Giants would have to go 9-13 in their last 22 games to miss winning 100 games.

109 MLB teams have won 100+ games.  here's the breakdown:

37 won the world series
  5 won the championship (pre-world series)

31 lost the world series
14 lost their league championship series
15 lost the division series

  6 finished 2nd in their league and missed the World Series.
  2 finished 2nd in their division and didn't make the playoffs

Wasn’t one of the two the 93 Giants who won 103 games but finished one gane behind the Braves in the NL West (pre-wildcard)?

You are correct, BC...
