Giants' Home Skid: History or Flop?

0:00On April 7th, the San Francisco Giants are stumbling hard at home under new manager Tony Vitello, who's jumping straight from college ball at Tennessee with zero pro experience. They've got the worst home star in over 25 years, sitting at one win and seven losses at Oracle Park after eight games. That national championship pedigree hasn't translated yet. It kicked off with a sweep by the New York Yankees, no runs in one game that shattered franchise records. They grabbed a long win against the Metts last Thursday, but then dropped four straight, including Monday's opener to the Phillies. Fans are buzzing about the parallels to history though. Back in 2000, the Giants christened their new Pacific Bell Park with a brutal 1 and 7 home skid too, losing the opener to the Dodgers, and grinding through early defeats. But here's the twist that gives hope. Those 2000 Giants flipped the script, finishing 97 and 65, snagging the NL West crown, and making the playoffs before bowing out to the Metts.

1:01Loaded with stars like Barry Bonds, Jeff Kent, and managed by Dusty Baker, by Tello's crew might just rhyme with that comeback story, or it could be a whole different verse time, will drop the beat on whether they rally or fade.
