Giants Win The Pennant On Travis Ishikawa Walk-Off Home Run
The National League pennant has been won on a walk-off home run—and, like the "Shot Heard 'Round The World" in 1951, it was claimed by the Giants....
Wrestling Legend Mick Foley Interviews Michael Morse On MLB Network
We love when old-time wrestling heroes intersect with "real" sports, so it was a treat on MLB Network this afternoon when Mick Foley joined the MLB Now panel for an interview with San Francisco's Michael Morse. Tune in for the Daniel Bryan conversation, stay for the reference to Mick Foley not hav...
The Giants Can't Stop Winning Weird
After a 6-4 win keyed by another one of those Giants rallies that just sort of happen, San Francisco finds itself a game away from the World Series, and completely unable to explain it....
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...
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...
Report: 49ers-Paid Cop At Ray McDonald's House Was On Duty
Last week, ABC 7 News in San Francisco reported that 49ers DE Ray McDonald called a San Jose police officer who also worked security for the 49ers, that that officer arrived at the scene of McDonald's arrest on domestic-violence charges. Now the station adds more detail—the cop was on duty and in un...
Victim In 49ers Bathroom Fight Left Partially Paralyzed
The two men, 27-year-old Amador Rebollero and 34-year-old Dario Rebollero, who were videotaped brutally beating two other men in the Levis Stadium bathroom during last week's 49ers game were arraigned yesterday afternoon, and a few more details about the attack and its aftermath were revealed....
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....
Brutal Bathroom Fight At 49ers Game Leads To Arrests, Head Injury
A few San Francisco 49ers fans got in an ugly fight in the bathroom at Levi's Stadium yesterday, resulting in two men getting arrested and another dealing with a severe head injury....
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....
Report: Ray McDonald Summoned 49ers-Paid Cop To Scene Of Arrest
Police have finally handed over their investigation into 49ers DE Ray McDonald to prosecutors, who will decide whether or not to bring domestic-violence charges. But the real news is why it took so long....
