On a beautiful summer evening in the Bay Area, Giants first baseman Aubrey Huff drove home from the ballpark in a blissful stupor. Eleven years in the big leagues and he’d never really felt the buoyancy of a pennant race. Now, here he was on the last day of July, cruising home from a win over the Dodgers with a light heart and a clear head, finally a contender.

And then it hit him: I just took an 0-for-4.

And then, more stunningly: I don’t even care.

Joy is not the customary trigger for self-reflection; when things go well, most ballplayers avoid contemplation. But Huff’s first season in San Francisco has been a life-changing experience. “Until this year, I didn’t know what the big leagues were about,”says the 33-year-old. Signed to a one-year, $3 million deal last January, Huff has been one of baseball’s biggest bargains. His .905 OPS leads the Giants, who are battling for a playoff spot.

On the day of his revelatory drive, San Fran beat the hated Dodgers 2-1 on the strength of a dramatic eighth-inning homer by Pat Burrell, Huff’s longtime friend and former University of Miami teammate. “That was the first 0-for-4 I’ve taken in my life where I was the happiest guy in the room,”says Huff. “I was always 30 games out. If I went 0-for-4 and we won the game, I’d be pissed. I know it sounds bad, but it was true.”

It’s alarming to hear such honesty from a player. But it’s hard to blame Huff for letting the losing get to him. Except for disjointed stints as a late-summer rental for the 2006 Astros and 2009 Tigers, he’s spent more time in the cellar than a ‘64 Bordeauxhis clubs have finished in last place six times, and only two active players (Randy Winn and Michael Young) have played more games without a postseason trip. Despite three 100-RBI seasons, Huff’s demeanor sagged along with his teams’ fortunes. Last Place Huff arrived at the ballpark an hour before stretching and left shortly after the final out. But Pennant Race Huff arrived at 7:30 a.m. for an afternoon game against the Cubs in mid-August. “I can’t imagine anyone in baseball could be any happier than me,”he says. “How could they?”

During a tight game against the Mets in mid-July, Huff turned to Burrell in the dugout and said, “This feels like a playoff series.”To which Burrell, casting a cynical eye, responded, “How the hell would you know?”

Well, he doesn’t. Huff admits that. But he might soon.

remember that the pads play COL and 4 in STL this week, while we play the bums and MIL. So think that’s probably 5-1 for us, and 2-5 for the padres (maybe even less for them)

Leaving SD tied or down 2 isn’t the worst thing. Going into the series, we could have been 6 out worst case, season probably done. In retrospect, I’ll take it. And hopefully we will win tomorrow, Latos can’t just keep throwing 7IP, 0R forever.

If the Giants can win all of their remaining series then

I think they have an excellent chance of being in the playoffs, so their future is really up to them.

They get to play each of these teams 3 more times and get to play the Dodgers while the Padres and Rockies go at it. If the Giants don’t make the playoffs, they really won’t have anyone to blame but themselves.

I’m not liking the offense right now, but luckily, this Giants team has shown an ability to look really shitty for a few games and then break out of it with an offensive explosion the next (hopefully we’ll get one of those tomorrow — who said I’m not an optimist?).

by nofreetime on Sep 11, 2010 3:44 PM PDT reply actions

I’m always amazed that fans will praise their pitchers for a great game when they pitch a shutout but when their team gets shutout will blame their hitters and won’t give the other pitchers any credit.

I mean, I don’t think it’s a double standard when the umpiring was as generous as it was. It’s not Stauffer’s fault for getting those calls, you can’t fault Torrealba for calling it, and you can give credit to Stauffer for hitting his spots, but he was pitching with a distinct advantage that afected the whole course of the game. Overall, Bumgarner pitched a better game.
