99.8%

Baseball is replete with statistical wonders.

The Giants had been perfectly winning:
2,208 – 0 when leading by six
Or more runs entering the ninth inning.

Now this horrible team is 2,208 – 1,
After the Reds rallied with home run sticks
And stole from Oracle Park a day in the sun.

It’s not just the foul-smelling dead fish
Stinking up the San Francisco Bay.
“Wait till next year,” Giants fans wish.

How often has a ballclub been so hell bent
On losing in such a soul-crushing way?
MLB stats say it’s the opposite of 99.8%.

The bleeping Giants are baseball’s blunders.
