Relative to their wealth, the Giants are the worst team in major league sports right now.

I challenge anyone to name a team with a wealthier owner and bigger market, that sucks worse. You can have your pick of all the NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL teams.

I will accept that challenge: Houston Rockets. There are others but they just finished 22-60, owner is worth $8.2 billion, fifth largest metro area in the country, owner/front office/head coach were at each other's throats all season, completely dysfunctional organization. Repeat: 22-60.

Re the Giants: it's barely one ninth of the season. Last year at this point they had the exact opposite record (13-7) as they have now and people on this board were repeatedly citing their "projections" for winning around 100 games. They are a flawed, limited team this year but they aren't destined for a .350 season either, or anything close. Regression to the mean works both ways.

The As aren't in the same exact market although there is a good deal of overlap, and their owner isn't quite as wealthy although wealthy enough, and it's very likely they are going to leave the state soon. That's a genuinely miserable situation, only eleven miles away.
