Who's ready to write off this season?

It looked like a great opportunity to go back and defend the title, until..

One injury after the other and dead bats from those playing.  Several of the guys playing are or have been playing hurt while the 20th player (not all of them unique) just went on the DL.  The D-Backs have been so-so, such that the Giants are only a couple of games back.  However, if they can't beat the Astro's how can the Giants beat anyone?

We know they can compete and win, with this team.  The first half showed just how grim things could get (players on and off of the DL then goes Buster Posey and Freddie Sanchez) and that thought it all, the Giants kept winning.  With the acquisition of Keppenger and Beltran, I think that the Giants could go on a tear if only Huff and Ross would heat up.  We miss Torres speed and bat and the bullpen has looked tattered over the last two weeks (after being so brilliant for so long), but can they over come?

Can we pull out a playoff spot?  If so, can the G-men compete?

I think they can, but will they?
