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…

Top 20 SF Giants GIFS: 2014 Regular Season

It really seems like a lifetime ago. For some reason, the regular season seems like an anomaly – the San Francisco Giants team we saw in the postseason didn’t at all reflect anything that happened between April thru September. I remember little bits and pieces of the season, everything in fractions. So to me, here’s…

SF Giants May GIF Dump: Part 2

As promised, I’m back with the remainder of my GIF dump for May. This time we will be focusing on celebrations and walk-offs. It’s hard to remember back to Angel Pagan’s inside the park-er but it DID happen in May. I know no one wants to hear my narrative anyway so I’ll just get to…

SF Giants May GIF Dump: Part 1

I’m not sure how much I liked May. I mean it was like a dysfunctional relationship of sorts – REALLY REALLY HAPPY or like, weeping and listening to Coldplay. I’m hoping June will be much more.. consistent .. for better lack of terms. I will give the team this – no matter how terribly or…

SF Giants April LOL Moments

Hope you guys have been enjoying the Giants celebration post. I got out of work early today so I was able to get jamming on the “LOL” moments of April earlier than expected. Bay Area Sports Guy is somehow trusting me to write AND post the post-game wrap tonight, so that write-up may just be…

SF Giants April Celebrations

Apologies for my absence on this blog. It’s not for lack of baseball on TV. Quite the opposite. So much baseball that I’ve been doing a lot of writing for Bay Area Sports Guy. Check out some of the stuff I’ve been doing there if you haven’t already. In any case, this April was full…

Giants honor Posey, Vogelsong can’t blank the Cardinals

I attended Opening Day yesterday and went to the MVP Ceremony today where Posey was presented with his MVP Trophy. It was pretty amazing – a lot of the former MVP winners were there including Kent, McCovey, and Mays – noticeably missing: Barry Bonds. Probably doing a triathlon somewhere. The ceremony itself was “brief” compared…

Giants Opening Day – The most wonderful of wonderful

One of my vendors at work offered me tickets to the Home Opener today in a Luxury Suite. I literally couldn’t have said yes fast enough. I’ve never been to an opening day, let alone an opening day after a World Championship, so I had no idea to expect. Here’s where you don’t judge me….

Giants Parade GIFs – Better Late Than Never

Made these a hundred years ago it feels like but forgot to post on the blog – here are some GIFs from the Parade:  Panda messing with Gregor’s hair during a speech:  Matt Cain introduces Captain America:  Jeremy Affeldt strapping on a knee brace and then doing a mock home run swing:  And finally the…

Giants win the World Series and Game 4 GIFS (So so many GIFS)

WOoOOOOOOOOOoooooOOOO I absolutely had to start off by saying that because WOW. Just WOW. I was at a bar for Game 4 and honestly, was a total emotional mess so I was unable to post until now. Oh, I was also at the parade – that post will probably go up tonight or tomorrow. So…

WS Game 3: Vogelsong, Tiger Blood, Rookie Heros, and GIFS!

I would have never thought that in Game 3 we would be up 3 Games. I was shaking in my boots about playing the Tigers – so much so that I was rooting for the Yankees. THE YANKEES! Like a total idiot. And yet, I’ve been far less stressed and tortured watching the last 3…

WS Game 1 : Pablo goes BOOM, #RallyZito , and GIFS

Justin Verlander. Or as I like to call him, Cliff Lee 2.0. Today’s game should be called “Cliff Lee, Part II: Zito’s Revenge”  How the hell did we hit off Justin Verlander? According to everyone on the planet, it is impossible. So much so that the pitching coach doesn’t even try to coach him. Oh…
