3.4K12Several positives for Giants heading into All-Star break
It’s the Phillies, sure. After losing 4-2 to the Giants today to finalize a series sweep, the worst team in baseball has lost 15 of their last 18 games. They’ve been swept a mind-boggling eight times. Yet the Giants (46-43) looked like a team that could actually hit and catch and pitch semi-competently over the […]

The Giants’ Angel Pagan problem
It was brought to our attention when Dee Gordon raced around the bases in less than 15 seconds at the beginning of the Giants’ pathetic road trip. Angel Pagan now has the longest homerless streak in the majors. He was never much of a power guy before, hitting a career-high 11 home runs in 2010 […]

2.7K3What to make of these suddenly dominant San Francisco Giants
Just because the Warriors are in the NBA’s final four — and winning entertaining games by the slimmest of margins — doesn’t mean the Giants won’t get a mention for what they’ve done over the past three days. Sweeping the Dodgers at any time is about as enormous as any 2% chunk of the season […]

1.9K5Five pleasant surprises from the Giants’ semi-surprising start
Things could be much, much worse for the San Francisco Giants. Only five other teams in the majors have a lower total run differential than the Giants’ -21. They’ve been without their second-best position player and starting pitcher all season. The third baseman they traded for is totally in his own head and can’t do anything […]

2.1K30Panik walks off the Angels, plus a goodbye letter from Ruthless Sports Guy
The Giants walked off their 2015 interleague debut with what turned out to be an awesome pitcher’s duel/really weird late inning pie fight with the Angels on Friday night. Both Chris Heston and C.J. Wilson were fantastic for most of the game, and had it not been for a Nori Aoki double to lead off the […]

1.9K2Bumgarner and new look offense lead Giants to Opening Night win
So far, so good … once the game started. The Giants released a worrisome Matt Cain update before the game, along with the expected announcement that Ryan Vogelsong would start in place of Jake Peavy. The Giants looked lively in the first, but Joe Panik and Angel Pagan were stranded after reaching base with one out. But Madison Bumgarner lulled […]

2.6K9Maybe we’ll see Bruce Bochy manage more like Ned Yost in 2015
BREAKING: According to sources, the Giants aren’t a powerful team. It’s not like they lost Jose Bautista and Giancarlo Stanton this past offseason, but the 32 home runs provided by Pablo Sandoval and Michael Morse in 2014 sure would come in handy this year — especially with Hunter Pence missing the first couple weeks of the […]

3.3K9San Francisco Giants Spring Training Portrait Day
Do you remember school portrait day? Mom yelling at you to comb your hair and tuck in your shirt. Maybe she even laid out a hideous new outfit for you to wear. For boys, it was something with a collar. Striped or plaid with a top button designed to cut off your windpipe. Corduroy pants. Maybe even […]

Top 10 SF Giants videos to get you fired up for the playoffs
Here we go again, Giants fans. It’s October. It’s an even year. We’re back. Yay. Its been an odd season, to say the least. Odd start. Odd middle. Odd finish. It’s well documented. No need to go into it here. Odd. Tonight’s NL Wild Card game feels odd as well. For one thing, the Giants […]
