WEEKEND WRAP

by Johnny Black Okeedokee Giants fans. I have not been this excited about the Giants since 2021. With the injection of young blood in the Giants baseball corpus this San Francisco team suddenly looks like a new club compared to the pretty sad sack bunch we saw in...

by Johnny Black Happy Monday, Giants fans! Why happy? Well, the Giants won on Sunday! Yay! But the context behind that win is what gives me hope and puts a little extra spring in my step on this fine morning. The Giants won with Casey Schmitt starting at third base...

by Johnny Black GG better watch out! I'm getting better with the headlines. What to make of this team?  The Giants lost three of four to the Arizona Diamondbacks to drop their record to 17-23, 8.5 games behind the streaking and surging Dodgers, who just swept the...

by Johnny Black Hola, Giants fans. It's been a disappointing weekend of Giants losses South of the Border. Going into the weekend I loved the idea of this series. I loved the choice of teams by MLB. Watching the games it sure appears as if the Mexico City fans enjoyed...

by Johnny Black Happy Monday Giants fans. What a weird and wacky weekend it has been for our Giants. On Friday night, after their second-straight spanking at home by the Mets, we are all ready to write the obituary on this 2023 season. There was open talk about...

by Johnny Black What a wet sock this past weekend has been for the boys in orange and black. First, they lose two games in a row in 11 innings, the latter of which was a loss after blowing a five-run lead. Second, Sunday's game gets postponed because of bad weather...

by Johnny Black The Giants were eliminated from postseason contention on Saturday. It's not the end of the world. We all saw it coming and I must say, good on the Giants for playing well to end the season. Their hot run in which they went 18-10 for September, their...

by Johnny Black Last week was fun. The Giants won 6 of 7 to inch towards .500  with a record of 75-78 after this weekend, and bounce back from a rough three months. September will be the Giants first winning month since April. Way to go Boys. Ok, I could be a...

by Johnny Black I just cannot figure out this Giants team. Just when I was ready to make the next season and the Minor Leagues the focus of today's Weekend Wrap the Giants trash my plans with an impressive sweep of a strong Philadelphia Phillies ball club. Who'd a...

by Johnny Black The Giants are back at .500 thanks to a thrilling, come-from-behind, grab victory form the jaws of defeat type 8-7 win yesterday to sweep the Pirates. Thairo Estrada's two-run home run with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Giants...
