San Francisco Giants fans were certainly glad to see the month of April gone. They finished the first month in last place in the National League West with a record of 9-17.

They had one series win in the month of April; although, they did split a 4-game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers and a 2-game series with the Kansas City Royals.

It certainly was not the start to the season that Giants fans were hoping for.

In the very first game of the year the Giants bullpen blew a lead, bringing back fears from last season. It’s kind of been downhill every since.

The team has shown spots of brightness at times, but it’s been quickly followed by regression.

Worst of all, Madison Bumgarner was injured riding a dirt bike on an off day. Kick a fanbase while they’re down why don’t you?

Not to mention, Buster Posey was struck in the head with a fastball earlier in the season and missed time.

Losing Bumgarner was certainly a punch in the gut, but this team should still be better than the 9-17 record they compiled in April.

It just felt like the world was against the San Francisco Giants in the first month of the season.

I don’t have the history books in front of me, but this is certainly one of the worst months I can remember.

You have to figure that things can only get better from here on out for the Giants.

Let’s put a bow on the month of April by looking at the good, the bad and the ugly.
