We are in the middle of the All-Star break, so it’s time for a midseason report card. The Giants’ first half was a tale of two halves in and of itself. The first couple of months, the Giants played better than any other team and were perceived as unbeatable. In the last month and a half, they have been anything but.

This report card encompasses both the valedictorian first-half effort, and the principal’s office visits that enveloped the latter half. The overall grade may surprise you.
