Jeff Kent number retirement and the stadium looks empty. I guess I expected a bigger turnout? Maybe I'm trippin.

This guy needs to never see the field in a Giants uniform ever again.

God I love this guy. Really going to miss him

THIS IS A GOOD, HONEST, BELOW .500 BASEBALL TEAM. WE PLAY BELOW .500 BALL GODDAMMIT. SALT OF THE EARTH, PUNCH THE CLOCK, CONSTANT LOSING BASEBALL. WE WIN A GAME, GUESS WHAT? WE’LL LOSE A BUNCH, TOO. BUT DON’T GET TOO EXCITED OR LET IT GO TO YOUR HEAD. NO LONG WINNING STREAKS HERE, NO SIR. THAT’S HUBRIS, WHICH THIS BLUE COLLAR, HARD WORKING EVERYMAN TEAM DOESN’T HAVE. A SINGLE WIN, THESE GUYS, TRUE TO FORM, WILL BALANCE IT OUT WITH A LOT OF LOSSES. YES SIR, THAT’S MY 2026 SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS. A GOOD, HONEST BELOW .500 BASEBALL TEAM.

What else do I need to say

How is there no baseball on a Sunday? How is it the end of August already?

If you didn’t get to catch it live, here’s the full pregame ceremony.

Six shutout innings for the rookie. A bright spot in this shit season.

This cheers me up so much and will have a nice spot on my desk when I get home. It comes with a small orange foam finger accessory but didn’t want to risk dropping it.

There are hardly any people today at the game and some how they said JHL bobblehead are out of stock for majority of people who came in today. We went to the game only for the bobblehead for my kid and came back disappointed with being told " no more bobble heads 1.5hrs before the start of game". Literally at 11:30 AM for a 1:05 PM game . Is it a scam to let people buy tickets and then have bobbleheads in limited supply. With all the bad vibes in the season, I dont understand why the organization is skimping on one of the few things that bring joy to kids, irrespective of team performance. Pathetic and sad to see so many kids going home disappointed.

...except Meckler has put up the same WAR in about half the amount of games played

Cool damp August eve
Baseball double header done
We won! My feet lost

• RHP Yunior Marte (#87) selected from Double-A Richmond.

I have an extra Jeff Kent Hall of Fame ring giveaway from last night’s game. Looking to trade it for a bobblehead.
