TOGETHER WE'RE GIANTS

We waited and waited and waited and waited. We saw Starling Marte go off the board and Brad Hand and Craig Kimbrel and Joey Gallo and Anthony Rizzo and Javier Baez and Jose Berrios and then, worst of all, BOTH Max Scherzer and Trea Turner go to the $^%# Dodgers. The...

Ugh. Greek Giant gets to write about the two thrilling ninth-inning comeback wins, and I get a lackluster sloppy loss to a last-place team. Added to their poor performance in Pittsburgh in May, the Giants are now 2-3 against the lowly Bucs and need to win both games...

Anthony DeSclafani, Buster Posey, and Mike Tauchman, the heroes of last night's Giants win. Photo credit: MLB.com MrLefty has created a new version of WAR, and in this version, Mike Tauchman has a WAR of 3.0 for the season, meaning that had not Tauchman been in the...

Zombies are described by Wikipedia as mythical creatures who are "undead." Last week, the Giants "unrestored order" in the NL West, so this week, I guess they can be "undead." English can be a very flexible language at times ("Change the way you pizza with Papa...
