Giants Ride Their First Big Inning of the NLCS To Extra-Innings Win
The Giants offense has struggled lately. In winning Game 1 of the NLCS, they scored three runs on a single, error, and sacrifice fly. In losing Game 2, they scored four runs on a ground out, single, single, and walk. Across the two games they left 19 men on base to the Cardinals 11, unable to turn...
No, That Eagles Employee Wasn't Celebrating Victor Cruz's Injury
Up there is the front page of today's New York Daily News: a guy in an Eagles polo seemingly gloating over a crumpled, injured Victor Cruz on the ground. "PHILTHY," indeed. Of course, the photo captures only one frame. What do moving pictures show?...
Giants Fan Gets A Trash Shower From Eagles Fans, Is Pretty OK With It
In light of all the awful and violent shit that's been happening at NFL stadiums this year, this scene from yesterday's Giants-Eagles game is downright heartwarming. ...
Victor Cruz's Injury Made Everyone Sad
NFL teams are notoriously cautious about announcing injuries. No matter how obvious a sprain or a tear may seem, they'll wait for a scan to confirm. Not last night. It was mere minutes after Victor Cruz was carted off that the Giants announced he had suffered a torn patella tendon, and that nonexist...
Eagles Fans Screw Up Huge Banner
A for creativity, D for execution....
Madison Bumgarner's Curveball Made Hitters Look Dumb Last Night
Madison Bumgarner accomplished a very specific feat in last night's Game 1 NLCS win: The Giants lefty broke the record for most consecutive scoreless innings pitched with 26.2 after he exited the game against the Cardinals. It was entertaining to watch him work his way through the lineup, but obviou...
The Eagles Made A Halloween-Themed Video About Li'l Eli Manning
It looks like they worked very hard on this. The least you could do is watch it....
The Nats Are Gone, But Bryce Harper's Taters Are A Joy Forever
The Washington Nationals were bounced from the postseason last night, but not before Bryce Harper did the thing he's been doing all series and murdered one last baseball into the sky....
Madison Bumgarner Is Now Up To Five Beers At A Time
OK, this is threatening to get out of hand. After winning the play-in game last week, Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner "drank" four beers at once. (More realistically, he poured four beers onto his face.) After the Giants won their division series last night, Bumgarner has graduated to five....
Giants Outlast Nationals To Advance to NLCS
There was a moonshot of a home run, a phenomenal defensive gem, a solid pitching performance, and questionable managerial decisions. But when a fluky series came down to a fluky play, the Giants won 3–2 against the Nationals because they always seem to get a fluky play or two in the postseason....
Madison Bumgarner's Pivotal Error Gives Nationals Game 3 Over Giants
Befitting two teams that took 18 innings to score three stinkin' runs on Saturday night, Game 3 between the Giants and Nationals was a pitcher's duel, for six innings at least. And when the game broke wide open it was mostly due to error, not solid hitting....
Yusmeiro Petit Was Essentially The Giants' Second Starter Last Night
Yusmeiro Petit has a weird position on the Giants. He was passable as a spot starter, but couldn't earn a place in a strong San Francisco rotation. The Giants don't need him to close out games, either, and Petit is capable of pitching longer than only an inning. But last night, in the longest MLB ...
Bryce Harper Killed A Baseball Into The Sky
Seventy-two years to the day from the first man-made object being sent into space, Bryce Harper mashed one hell of a tater....
Watch Newly Discovered Footage Of D.C.'s 1924 World Series Walk-Off Win
It is, the Library of Congress swears, entirely coincidence that four minutes of footage from the 1924 World Series—pitting the Senators against the Giants—was recently rediscovered just in time for the Nationals to take on the Giants in this year's NLDS. ...
Larry Donnell Lost In Fantasy Football Because He Didn't Start Himself
Nobody ever wants to hear someone complain about their fantasy team, but we can give Giants tight end Larry Donnell a pass here, since this particular gripe involves him boning himself out of a victory....
Antrel Rolle: Prince Amukamara Is Good Now Because He's Gettin' Laid
Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara was a first-round pick in the 2011 draft, and hasn't exactly lived up to the high expectations that were set for him in the three years since. But so far this season, Amukamara has been playing well—he's got two picks and seven passes defended through the first fou...
