3.0K9Good vibrations: Giants win Bumgarner vs. Kershaw showdown with Panik’s walk-off sac fly
The bottom of the ninth was so very, very Giants, the kind of walk-off win that would’ve seemed routine last April. Madison Bumgarner was good but he wasn’t perfect, San Francisco’s offense was opportunistic but hardly powerful, but it was all enough for a 3-2 win and the Giants’ first on-field celebration of the young season.

3.3K1Dodgers Kershaw Giants, Kershaw NL West
This was an assertion of dominance. The Dodgers won these two September series in nearly identical fashion, and tonight was even worse for the Giants in a few excruciatingly painful ways than the 17-0 loss a couple Saturdays ago. Brian Wilson closed out a 9-1 win, and it was impossible to watch. So CSN Bay Area did everyone a […]

2.8K9Giants need to worry about fending off Brewers in Wild Card race, Gutierrez is literally a junk baller
The Dodgers’ lead over the Giants is four games. With only 12 games left after L.A. won 11-3 in Denver and the Giants lost 6-2 in Phoenix, the likelihood of the Giants (82-68) so much as tying the Dodgers (86-64) isn’t high. Not with Zack Greinke and Clayton Kershaw scheduled to pitch the second and third […]

4.1K2Now’s the time for the Giants to gain ground on the Dodgers (hey, stop laughing!)
If you feel bad about giving up on the Giants at around 2:30 pm on Saturday, don’t. The Phillies had a 5-1 lead in the fifth inning. Tim Hudson was already out of the game. The Giants somehow figured out ways to strand four base runners per inning. They were on their way to getting swept […]

2.3K5Vogelsong takes blame for loss, Peavy expects to win tomorrow, Susac gets glamoured by Kershaw
The Giants hope Jake Peavy can recapture some of his old NL West brilliance tomorrow night in his Giants debut. Some runs would help. Against all odds, Gregor Blanco hit a single against Clayton Kershaw in the first inning. The Giants would go hitless over the next six innings of this game, which the Giants […]

3.4K8Angry responses from blacked-out Dodgers fans to painfully obvious tweets from Magic Johnson
The Giants are sinking like a stone, with even Tim Hudson getting knocked around on Wednesday. They’ve lost eight of their last nine. The Dodgers have won seven of their last 10, but that’s nothing compared to what happened Wednesday night. Clayton Kershaw pitched one of the best games in baseball history, a no-hitter with no […]

3.5K1Giants take 8-0 lead against Dodgers, don’t squander it
The day started off strangely for the Los Angeles Dodgers. It should’ve been nothing but happy times and smiling faces for the defending National West champs, who went into their home opener with a 4-1 record. But Yasiel Puig showed up late this morning, and he was replaced in the lineup by Matt Kemp. Kemp […]

After two games, the Giants lead the Dodgers 10-0
This version of the Los Angeles Dodgers doesn’t have Matt Kemp, and their lineup besides Andre Ethier looks to be of Albuquerque quality. That’s still no reason to downplay what the Giants have done in shutting them out twice. After all, outsiders weren’t joining Giants fans in the pity party last year when Buster Posey […]

Matt Cain wins again, looks like a legit Cy Young contender
This afternoon’s 8-3 win in San Diego wasn’t pretty. But thanks to a bouquet of defensive errors and his ability to overcome, Matt Cain’s line was. 7 innings, 9 strikeouts, 1 walk, 7 hits, no earned runs. That lowered his ERA to 2.41 (7th in the National League) and raised his WHIP to 0.94 — […]

Giants give Clayton Kershaw the 2-1 treatment
Last season, the score “2-1” became symbolic of all the San Francisco Giants’ problems. About 98% of that (completely accurate) perception of the team came from three of Clayton Kershaw’s five victories over the Giants coming in games that ended with that exact score. In September Kershaw led the Dodgers to 2-1 victories over the […]
