Funny thing: MLB.com says the Giants have "19 straight against playoff contenders".

They count the Mets as playoff contenders.
Jake Reed was the second player in as many weeks that I had no recollection of before I saw him on the field or in a box score. Hartlieb? I think that's the other one. Not only can't you tell the players without a scorecard, you can barely tell them with one!

Maybe some of these scrap heap guys will turn into something, at least more cannon fodder (the Italian expression is more accurate, carne da cannone= cannon meat) for next year.
