Correa debacle just another in Giants free agency history

December 22, 2022

To say that Giants fans are pissed off would be a colossal understatement. Pick any word you can think of at this time except those of happiness and joy. Sad, betrayed, upset, cynical, disillusioned and angry are the first words that come to mind. I’m not saying the Giants aren’t responsible for the...

Giants immortalize Will Clark and his No. 22

July 30, 2022

SAN FRANCISCO — The 2022 season hasn't gone very well for the Orange and Black. After an amazing 107 win campaign in 2021, this year's squad is a .500 team and barely contending for the third wild card spot.

The team needed a spark and on a night when Will "The Thrill" Clark had his No. 22 officia...


Giants win first home opener in 13 years

April 8, 2022

SAN FRANCISCO — Hardcore baseball fans don't say "Happy New Year" on January 1st. Instead, they wait until opening day of the regular season. While the rules have changed, the game is still essentially the same it's been since 1839. And there's nothing like opening day.

The pregame ceremonies were...

October 11, 2021

As with everyone in baseball these days, you can't win without your bullpen. The Giants found out the hard way after the pen poured gasoline on a fire started by the Dodgers who were leading, 2-1 in the top of the 6th inning in Game 2.
