Madison Bumgarner Remains A Postseason Demigod
The San Francisco Giants are headed to the NLDS once again, after Madison Bumgarner shut down the Mets and the offense managed a lone moment of competence tonight to get the team a 3-0 win.

How Long Until The NFL's Hard-On For Personal Fouls Ruins A Game?
Even if you believe that Odell Beckham Jr.’s tendency toward emotional outbursts has rightfully earned him extra scrutiny from NFL referees, the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty he was hit with last night was pretty confounding:...
Odell Beckham Lost His Cool Again
Odell Beckham Jr. was barely there last night. The excellent Vikings defense held him to a career-low three catches for 23 yards, all on a single second-quarter drive that didn’t cross midfield. Minnesota merely perfected what’s emerged as a solid strategy to keep Beckham in check—he hasn’t scored a...

Early in the second quarter of tonight’s game against the Vikings, Giants tight end Larry Donnell was trying to pull around and block for Orleans Darkwa, when linebacker Anthony Barr came through the gap like a rocket and smashed into him, knocking him four yards back and straight into Darkwa.

Brandon Belt On His Friend D.J. LeMahieu: "He's A Nice Guy. I Still Want To Punch Him In The Face."
Giants first baseman Brandon Belt had three hits in his team’s 12-3 demolition of the Colorado Rockies last night, and he would have had four hits if not for the presence of Rockies second baseman D.J. LeMahieu:...
Buster Posey Loses Sight Of Foul Ball; Eduardo Núñez Saves The Day<em></em><em></em>

Dodgers Roast Madison Bumgarner En Masse After Shoving Match
Yasiel Puig and Madison Bumgarner got into it last night, prompting a team-wide scuffle and the eventual, inevitable Giants collapse after Bumgarner left the game with one hit through seven innings. Thankfully this happened on the first night of a three-game series, so tonight and tomorrow should be...
Madison Bumgarner And Yasiel Puig Yelled At Each Other And Started A Bench-Clearing Shoving Match
Madison Bumgarner got Yasiel Puig to ground out to end the seventh inning tonight in a close one between the Giants and Dodgers.

A security guard who attempted to apprehend an Idiot On The Field last night in San Francisco during the Cardinals-Giants game suffered what appears to be a broken leg during the takedown attempt. ...
The Giants Are Already Needling Josh Norman
Despite the fact that the Josh Norman-Odell Beckham Jr. matchup last season got out of hand and downright dangerous, cornerback/receiver feuds are rare and delightful, and though Washington and New York don’t play until Week 3, the Giants are doing everything they can to shade Norman and hype up the...
The NFL Investigation And Punishment Of Josh Brown Achieved Nothing
The details, emerging nearly two years into the NFL’s quest to “get it right” on domestic violence, followed the grimly familiar pattern. In several interviews with deputies in King County, Wash., Molly Brown described her relationship with her estranged husband, New York Giants kicker Josh Brown, a...
