Giants Almost Sweep! Plus Is the Giant's Offense Good?

They didn't sweep because their offense is mediocre. The blame artists react to the Angels series: Grant McCray's snatches victory from the jaws of defeat, JHL gets caught in the bean ball cross fire, and Carson Wisenhunt pitches well but Luis Arraez cannot save him. Later the boys point fingers at who's really to blame for this dismal season ... is it the offense or the bad roster?
