Stat Line Of The Night — 4/9/12 — Barry Zito
The first complete game shutout of the 2012 MLB season has been pitched, and it may surprise some to hear who the pitcher that produced it was. Entering last night’s game against the Colorado Rockies, San Francosco Giants lefty Barry Zito hadn’t recorded a shutout in nine years, but he put an end to that [...]

This Day In Sports History (October 5th) – Barry Bonds
It was on this day in 2001 that Barry Bonds hit his 71st home run of the season. Bonds broke the record, which was previously set by Mark McGwire three years earlier in 1998. Barry Bonds’ 2001 season was one of the greatest statistical seasons by an individual player in Major League history, as he [...]

Brian Wilson’s Beard Breaks Bats (Video)
We were all warned to “fear the beard” as San Francisco Giants closer Brian Wilson displayed the power behind that thick batch of black hair growing from his neck during the Giants’ run to the World Series title last season. During last night’s game against the Chicago Cubs, he put the power of the beard [...]

Here Is A Look At Chase Utley’s Inside-The-Park Home Run From Last Night (Video)
Chase Utley has seven home runs in 195 at bats this season, but he has only hit the ball over the outfield fence six times. How does that happen, you ask? Easy. His seventh home run of the season didn’t need to clear the outfield fence at Citizens Bank Park during last night’s game against [...]

Watch This Kid Suck Out Because He Didn’t Catch A Foul Ball (Video)
Last night a young Giants fan was in attendance at AT&T Park to watch his team take on the Los Angeles Dodgers. On top of his wish list, we assume, was a Giants victory. And just below that was catching a baseball. Unfortunately for him, with the Giants trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the [...]

This Is Just Awkward (Video)
Meet Kyle. Kyle, who has his very own YouTube channel, is apparently the king of the awkward interview. I’m not quite sure if he is actually trying to be awkward, or if he simply can’t help himself. Whatever the case may be, he has certainly used his mumbling voice and strange demeanor to build quite [...]

Brian Wilson Attends The ESPYs In A Spandex Tuxedo (Pic)
No one knows how to make a grand entrance quite like a Major League Baseball reliever. On Tuesday night it was Paderes reliever Heath Bell getting the fans at Chase Field on their feet with a sprint-and-slide entrance at this year’s All-Star Game. Last night is was Brian Wilson’s turn, as the Giants reliever made [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 7/6/11 — Nate Schierholtz
After losing the first two games of their four-game series against the San Diego Padres, the San Francisco Giants were in danger of being swept by their division rivals. Despite trailing late in the game, they were able to avoid that fate, thanks to some extra-inning heroics from Nate Schierholtz. The Giants right fielder entered [...]

Giants Fan Gets Run Over By Kayak In McCovey Cove (Video)
The baseball souvenir free-for-all continues! But unlike what we have seen in previous weeks, this time the battle did not take place on the dry lands of the stadium bleachers. Instead, it occurred beyond the outfield fence at AT&T Park, on the wet waters of McCovey Cove. Following a Pablo Sandoval blast, two kayakers squared [...]

Miguel Tejada Almost Gets Hit By His Own Home Run Ball (Video)
Much like getting drunk in the outfield bleachers, throwing an opposing team’s home run ball back onto the field has become quite the tradition at Wrigley Field. Oftentimes this turns into a rather embarrassing moment for the fan on the receiving end of the opposition’s homer, but every once in a while we get a [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 6/23/11 — Tim Lincecum
Thus far the 2011 MLB season has been a disappointment for Tim Lincecum by his standards. He entered last night’s game against the surging Minnesota Twins with a 5-6 record and a 3.39 ERA, which is very un-Lincecum-like, but he improved upon both of those stats with a Lincecum-like performance. The two-time Cy Young Award [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 6/2/11 — Aubrey Huff
I know that hitting three home runs in a single game is not an easy thing to do, but Major League batters have been making it seem that way recently. Carlos Beltran, Jose Bautista, Jason Giambi, Corey Hart and Carlos Quentin had all accomplished the feat heading into yesterday’s slate of games. You can now [...]

Picture Of The Day: Telestrator Dong!
It has been a while since we last brought you the glorious sight of a telestrator dong, but the wait is over. This one comes from Sunday’s game between the San Francisco Giants and the Washington Nationals. I’m not quite sure what the broadcasting crew at CSN saw in the press box at Nationals Park, [...]
