San Francisco ? Brian Sabean was up at 6:30 Sunday morning after an overnight flight from Florida, already contemplating his next overhaul of the San Francisco Giants.

After six months of leading the division and the franchise’s first 100-win season in 10 years, the Giants’ general manager didn’t expect the offseason to start so soon.

San Francisco’s sensational season ended abruptly Saturday when wild-card Florida won the best-of-five division series, 3-1. The Giants looked nothing like themselves in this year’s playoffs, 12 months after coming so close to a World Series ring.

A defense that had been so dependable made costly mistakes. Batters who got big hits all season for the NL West champions couldn’t do a thing at the plate.

“It was a tale of two seasons,” Sabean said Sunday as he wandered through the Giants’ empty clubhouse. “We didn’t play like a team that won 100 games.”

This Giants team, with so many new faces from a year ago, adjusted to new manager Felipe Alou, new starters at second base, third, center field and right field, injuries to their rotation and the deaths of two players’ parents. The Giants socialized in the clubhouse with cards and other games, something that was rarely seen in recent years when Jeff Kent’s icy relationship with Barry Bonds divided the room.

“We had a great season, and we’ve got to know that it’s not something that happens just one time. It could happen again,” said backup infielder Pedro Feliz, who hit 16 home runs. “We went through a lot of things. It’s not easy to play when you’re losing part of your family and having so many injuries.”

San Francisco relied on its deep bench and a surprising collection of young pitchers to survive a dizzying array of injuries and tragedies.

Bonds spent two stints on the bereavement list dealing with the Aug. 23 death of his father, Bobby, and was hospitalized for a night to be treated for exhaustion and an accelerated heartbeat. Ace Jason Schmidt lost his mother, Vicki, to a brain tumor in late April.

Schmidt then beat the Chicago Cubs and former manager Dusty Baker only five days after her funeral. Bonds didn’t lose a step after his dad’s death, either. The five-time MVP — probably headed for a record sixth — batted .341 with 45 home runs and 90 RBIs and finished two homers shy of tying his godfather, Willie Mays, for third on the all-time list with 660.

Bonds didn’t get many chances in the postseason. The Marlins were petrified of him, and it showed. He walked an NL division series-record eight times, six intentionally, and finished the series 2-for-9 with two RBIs.
