ICYMI: Social Media Minute | Week of 8/22

I wanted to start out this post with a Matt Moore appreciation paragraph. It doesn’t really fall within the “social media” realm, but I just wanted to give him a shout out since he pulled us out from our momentary darkness and made Giants fans everywhere smile because they almost no-hit the Dodgers. As I…

ICYMI: Social Media Minute | Week of 8/15

I’m back in action, which admittedly is not the easiest thing to do when the Giants have been as bad as they are since the All-Star break. It was kinda cute for a week and now it’s bordering on hysterical(ly sad). Despite how the Giants are doing, the social media world keeps spinning. I’ve compiled…

ICYMI: Social Media Minute | Post All-Star Break

I’ve definitely been slacking on posting social media minutes – I went to the All-Star Game in San Diego but have also been burnt out from watching loss-after-loss with the Giants downward spiral. That being said, some truly wonderful things have happened on social media despite the free-fall and I think it’s important I bring…

12 GIFs On Why You Should #VoteBelt

The NL All-Star team was announced yesterday and I think there’s one thing that all Giants fans can agree on (other than we need bullpen help): there should be at least one Brandon representing the Giants in San Diego. Thankfully, we have a second chance to send a Brandon to Petco. Brandon Belt was named…

ICYMI: Social Media Minute | Week 4 Round Up

Week Four! Can you believe we’re about a quarter of the way through the season? I don’t know about you, but it’s blown by. The Giants went from a team who hit the crap out of the ball to a team that couldn’t hit a lick.. to a team that couldn’t pitch to save their…

ICYMI: Social Media Minute | Week 3 Round Up

Hello everyone! It’s that time again – the Social Media Minute. I’ve rounded up a couple things you may have missed the last two weeks – enjoy! Face Swap Strikes Again: This time it was not as bad as the Amy G/Gregor Blanco train wreck in our last edition of ICYMI. Brandon Crawford’s bobblehead day was…

Jon Miller Does It Again (Ringtone)

In case you were locked in a basement or something, Hunter Pence hit the ultimate Grand Slam today. Ultimate because it was against the Dodgers and that in itself pleases me very much. One of the best things about the grand salami was Hall Of Fame broadcaster Jon Miller’s home run call. It seemed Jon…

2016 Giants Commercial GIFs

With the new season upon us, we can only expect a new batch of Giants commercials to grace our presence. As someone who thrives on that type of content to support my livelihood of creating GIFs, I couldn’t be happier to dust off my laptop and bring these to you. As an editor’s note, I’m…

More on the Damon Bruce debacle

I really wasn’t going to continue writing on the Damon Bruce topic because, quite frankly, I’m pretty sick of it. But then this article from Awful Announcing surfaced. And then this piece by Rob Neyer of Baseball Nation. And well, we’re back to square one, aren’t we? First of all, I’d like to reiterate that I’ve never once…

Some thoughts on Ryan Vogelsong

The Giants have officially declined Ryan Vogelsong’s $6.5 MM option. It was probably an obvious decision to most but I’m still in denial about the fact that Ryan Vogelsong may no longer be a San Francisco Giant. The deepest part of my fandom aches for one of the most inspirational players to ever wear a…

Baseball and My Pops

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there. Mine in particular. I love baseball almost to fault. And in this case, the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. Growing up, we never got to listen to music in the car. If I wanted to listen to Boyz II Men, it would need…
