TOGETHER WE'RE GIANTS

...and just like we all predicted back in March, Shelby Miller struck out seven batters in 2.2 innings in late September for the Giants. I don't even remember an announcement when the Giants signed Miller to a minor league deal back on June 8. I just noticed that he...

  by DrLefty The weeks and days of this ghastly 2022 Giants season are winding down, and I for one am not going to miss them. I'll miss baseball. I'll watch the postseason. I already have hotel and airline reservations to go to Scottsdale for spring training in...

I was so sure that the Giants would be on an eight-game losing streak when I drafted this column that I fell asleep last night thinking about movie and TV titles that involved the number eight: "Eight Men Out," "Eight is Enough," "Eight Heads in a Duffel Bag," and,...
