This season is over, folks. Schmidt is off for whatever reason, and the Giants can't afford to have their ace be off like this while being about 10 games behind.
They've lost eight of nine on their way to losing nine of ten, and their best pitcher is pitching like their worst pitcher.
The wildcard is a tempting lure, to be certain, as the Giants are only six or seven behind there, but with a different problem everyday I'm beginning just to hope for 3rd place and a respectable record.
If anybody wants to give me a pep talk, feel free -- I'd like to see how anyone can put a positive spin on the last 10 games.

Let's see, pitcher loses 5-7 MPH on fastball although apparently healthy. Could it be...oh, I don't know...STERIODS!
Wow, that's a pretty ignorant comment. Thanks for stopping by and showing everyone how little you use your brain.
That would be a decline in velocity from NOT taking steriods, Einstein. Didn't Gammons predict that there would be plenty of pitchers who would lose some sizzle on their fastballs this year because steriod testing would compel them to give up the cream and the needle? Hasn't Schmidt lost velocity on his fastball, ergo isn't that also a possible reason for the decline in his performance? Stomp your foot twice if you agree.
