Old GM Yells At Cloud
After the Giants drafted Saquon Barkley with the No. 2 overall pick, general manager Dave Gettleman sneered at a question about the positional value of running backs in today’s NFL.

Giants' Brandon Belt Works Historic 21-Pitch Plate Appearance, To No Avail
Brandon Belt of the Giants worked an insane 13-minute, 21-pitch plate appearance in the top of the first inning today, against Angels starter Jaime Barria. This strikes me as almost a troll move! Barria faced six batters in the inning, gave up three singles, and loaded the bases—he threw 28 pitches ...

Who among us hasn’t enjoyed the thrilling, illicit pleasure of a hot pepperoni pizza in a warm bed?

The San Francisco Giants Aren't Fixed, But They're Appealing
The 2018 San Francisco Giants would have been a great team in 2013. But it isn’t 2013, and the Giants, who this offseason have traded for Andrew McCutchen and Evan Longoria, are in odd shape as they try to escape a payroll, personnel, and farm system crisis....

Adam Ottavino of the Colorado Rockies posted a picture on Instagram of what TMZ is c...
Put Away Your Pitchforks, Eli Manning Is Starting Again
The outrage that followed now-fired Giants coach Ben McAdoo’s benching of Eli Manning was mountainous and seemingly never-ending. Everyone had something to say about how badly the Giants fucked up, with an outpouring of support perhaps unprecedented for a player of Manning’s decidedly average talent...
An Early Guide To The New York Giants' Head Coaching Search
On Monday, the New York Giants relieved head coach Ben McAdoo of his McAduties. It was somehow both a long time coming and abrupt—over a little under two seasons as the team’s coach, McAdoo first positioned himself as something like a rising star and then instantly and dramatically biffed everything...
Ben McAdoo Mercifully Fired
Ben McAdoo said after yesterday’s loss in Oakland that he’s “going to coach this team as long as my key card works.” The Giants allowed his key card to work just long enough for him to get in the door at team HQ, and then they fired him....
For Now, It Looks Like Giancarlo Stanton Will Either Be A Cardinal Or A Giant
Giancarlo Stanton in St. Louis? Giancarlo Stanton in San Francisco? If you’re dreaming about where the defending National League MVP might end up next season, there’s no sense in dreaming any bigger than that. The Stanton sweepstakes are reportedly down to the Cardinals and the Giants, and Stanton w...
The Giants Are Going For Giancarlo Stanton
Baseball’s hot stove is preheating, but nothing major can really get cooking until the winter’s two big deals get done. The first, Japanese import Shohei Ohtani, appears to have no timeline.
