TOGETHER WE'RE GIANTS

by DrLefty So another week has gone by. In this week's chapter of ineptitude and dysfunction, we have (another) series loss to the Rockies, two late blown saves, a couple of blowout losses to the Blue Jays (who were struggling until they got to play the Giants), and...

by DrLefty Many of you know that MrLefty, who in real life is a tax attorney, is also a talented singer-songwriter. One of his observations about songwriting is that a well-written song can mean many different things to various people. To give two recent examples,...

by DrLefty Last night's Giants game marked the official midpoint of their 2026 season, and like Game 1 back on March 25, Game 81 was a home loss in front of a large crowd. They are 33-48, and that puts them on pace for a 66-96 season. But it could get worse. We'll get...

Giants lefty reliever Sam Hentges, the poster child for what is wrong with this year's bullpen--and why   by DrLefty The headline is a trick question because there are so many possible right answers. This week, I've decided to do a countdown of the five major...

by DrLefty *Bonus points for the first commenter who can tell us what's wrong with the picture above--and no, it's not "That's not Zack Minasian." I asked my imaginary AI friend to make me a generic Giants GM sitting in an armchair looking thoughtful. But there's one...

by DrLefty If you weren't watching the Giants-Cubs game yesterday, you might have missed that it was "Ferris Bueller Day" at Wrigley Field, an annual commemoration of the day (June 5, 1985) on which Matthew Broderick and his co-stars allegedly attended an actual Cubs...

Hat-tip (for the title) and photo credit to MrLefty by DrLefty As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, we moved to a new home in mid-May. This past week, we finally had it in good enough shape for friends to see it, and one friend brought us this plant that you see...

by DrLefty Some of you know this already from other social media, but the Leftys moved to a new (to us) home this week. You know how moving is--hectic and stressful. We watched the first game at Dodger Stadium on our last night at our old home. We watched the second...

(Photo by G Fiume/Getty Images) by DrLefty I just got back from a lovely Saturday morning walk, which among other things allowed me to listen to Buster Posey's interview this week with Alex Pavlovic and Kylen Mills. One of the questions was about Patrick Bailey,...

by DrLefty Words fail me. Lefty out.     Hahahaha, just kidding. "Words fail me" is not a thing for me. If words ever fail DrLefty, get the shovel. I have a large vocabulary full of scathing adjectives and colorful expressions, but the Bay Area media has...

by DrLefty You Belt Haters can just take a seat for today. I always loved Brandon Belt, a/k/a the Baby Giraffe, a/k/a the Captain, and one of the reasons I was so fond of him was his dry sense of humor. For years he shared duties with Brandon Crawford in writing the...
