Today, the #SFGiants announced three-time World Series Champion and seven-time All-Star Buster Posey has become a member of the ownership group. This marks the first time that a former player has joined the organization as a principal partner and member of the Board of Directors. pic.twitter.com/KzmgDRkk3a

Aaron Judge or bust.

Aaron Judge or bust.

The back half of that contract is going to be the biggest albatross in the history of contracts.

Save that money for Ohtani.

 

[Tetsujin]

Shinjo still up to his wacky managerial antics in the NPB. (If you’ll remember the dude started the season riding into the ballpark on a hovercraft to throw out a first pitch). Announces he’ll make an announcement, which ends up being the fact that he’s retiring his BIGBOSS nickname and just going by his real name next season.

He’s done a lot of goofy questionable things over the course of the season, but Kapler somehow guiding this old broken down talent deficient roster to .500 is pretty impressive tbh.

Congratulations to the mariners for making the playoffs for the first time since 2001.

Hate that it had to happen in walk off fashion against the Oakland A’s.

Oakland A’s postgame just congratulated “our friends up hwy 80” for taking over the longest streak for not making the playoffs in all of sports.

we’re number 1! We’re number 1!….at 16.
Then it’s the buffalo sabers and the New York jets tied for second with 11 seasons.

The Giants won 10-4. They have won 10 of 11. They're back above .500. They remain mathematically alive. pic.twitter.com/WBETbmORRv

If only the Giants could have shown up for the middle 4 months of the season, they might have been able to do something. Sheesh, where's this team been the last 100 games?

If this is Stephen Vogt's last at-bat, then what a way to go out. pic.twitter.com/26iM5bEtvJ

Live life with th unbridled joy of Dallas Braden watching Stephen Vogt blast his final at-bat into the right field bleachers

 

[Tetsujin]

Stop us if you've heard this before, but Shohei Ohtani did something that hadn't happened in over 100 years...

He's the 1st player since 1890 to finish Top-5 in both HR hit and strikeouts pitched, with 34 HR and 219 K.

He's just the 4th player all-time to accomplish this feat. pic.twitter.com/4OSAKM1h35

This is literally the Tungsten Arm O’Doyle meme.

I did not have Scherzer getting booed off his home field in the fifth inning on my bingo card tonight.

 

[dude12]

Joe Musgrove is just carving up the Mets, Showalter asking umps to check him for foreign substance. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

That was pretty bush league. Didn't work, didn't help. Mets can try again next year.

 

[SLAB]

Man, that’s rough for Mets fans. Lose the division lead the last week then lose to the Padres in the WC. Ouch.

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Giants hire Astros' Pete Putila as new general manager to replace Scott Harris

 

[LoungeLizard]

LFG Padres!!! One more to KO the Doyers!

 

[SLAB]

There’s no way some loser team would blow a 2-1 NLDS lead to the Dodgers, right?!

Whichever team manages to eliminate the Dodgers during any given postseason will always be the true World Series Champions in my book. Always and forever. Unless, of course, the Giants win it all. Then the Giants will always be the true World Series Champions.

Hopefully, the Padres can clinch it at home tomorrow night...

 

[Kingz19]

Lol, I’ve had this Astros-Mariners game on since the 3rd.

now I understand how people who weren’t invested in the Giants and Nationals must’ve felt with that Game 2

this is brutal

 

[SLAB]

Marathon games FTW

 

[SLAB]

Padres are my favorite team now.

 

[LoungeLizard]

YES!!! BEAT LA!!!

 

[SLAB]

Straight up, good for the Padres. They absolutely WENT FOR IT, and they just beat LA.

The bottom of the 7th was one of the 5 greatest half innings of Dodger baseball that I have ever witnessed in my entire life...

Tasty tasty Dodgers tears!

The A's lost their great manager to the NL West. The Giants let theirs retire and go to the AL West.

Meh.

Good for Texas, I love what he did for the Giants, but Bochy’s era came and went with the Giants. Kapler’s done an admirable job with what Farhan has given him.

 

[SLAB]

GO ASTROS!

FOR DUSTY!

 

[hrdboild]

Which of these un-retires more often -- Hall of Fame QBs or MLB managers?

Now that he has it, can he please leave that vile franchise?
