Giants Fan Custom Makes Bawdy T-Shirts
When your favorite team makes the World Series, it can be difficult to tell the true fans from the bandwagon ones.

Not One Single MLB Expert Predicted A Royals-Giants World Series

Madison Bumgarner's Fastball Is Getting Deadlier
Giants ace Madison Bumgarner didn't seem to have his best stuff during Game 5 of the NLCS, and was particularly let down by his cutter. It was flat, non-biting versions of that pitch that yielded an RBI double to Jon Jay and a solo home run to Tony Cruz Jr. (Matt Adams also took him deep on a curveb...
Katie Nolan Tries To Chug Six Beers Better Than Madison Bumgarner
Katie Nolan has a problem with people claiming that pitcher Madison Bumgarner's chugging four, five, or six beers after the Giants win postseason games. (We've gone with different wordings, because he's really just pouring them on his face, though that's still cool.) So, Nolan attempted to show ho...
Madison Bumgarner Takes Six Beers To The Face
Giants ace Madison Bumgarner "chugged" four beers at once when his team won the wild card play-in game. When he "chugged" five beers after winning the NLDS, everyone wondered if he'd be able to work his way up to six beers in the event of an NLCS win. So, did he go for the full sixer last night? Y...
Bruce Bochy Was The Anti-Matheny, And It Made All The Difference
If you're looking for an argument that having a smart manager in the dugout is integral to a baseball team's success, last night's Cardinals-Giants game is it. Not only did it feature Mike Matheny badly managing his club right into a walk-off homer, it had the manager on the other side of the field,...
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...

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....
