Heartbreak: D-Back 5, Giants 4

This was the worst loss of the year, as the Giants turned a 4-1 9th inning lead into a 5-4 12 inning loss. How disappointing was it? Let me count the ways:

1) A win would've given the Giants a rare road sweep -- one inside the division, no less -- after starting out 0-3 on the road.

2) It would've raised their record above .500 to 9-8. Instead, they drop back below to 8-9.

3) Hard-luck Matt Cain would've gone to 3-0, but again bad hitting and relief costs him a win. He still stands at 2-0.

4) Their winning streak would've run to 6, but is instead stopped at 5.

5) All momentum seems gone as they jet back home to face the 1st place Dodgers. And because of Brian Wilson's blown save, and the game being extended into the 12th inning, the bullpen has been over-used and abused heading in.

That, and it happened on a Sunday, while I was enjoying the game live. If that's not enough, Justin Upton hit his game-tying HR just as I realized a computer crash had cost me three hours of work. L-A-M-E.

TOMORROW: Giants/Dodgers at China Basin. If that pumps you up, I have the perfect cure. Barry Zito is pitching.
