GIANTS RUMORS & GOSSIP
SF Giants Rumors: Home Cooking Should Help, Standings, Team Leaders

The road trip started off promising as the San Francisco Giants were able to take three out of four games in Chicago. However, the Giants ran into a brick wall when they faced the Brewers. The G-men were swept right out of Milwaukee, and couldn’t be any happier to be back home. I’m sure some home cooking will be the cure tonight as the...
Giants pitcher Jean Machi farts in bullpen, and Jose Mijares does not approve (GIF)
San Francisco Giants rookie relief pitcher Jean Machi was just called up from Triple-A a few days ago, and wasted no time making a first impression on his teammates, although maybe not in the most conventional way.
Machi farted in the bullpen during Wednesday night's game against the Milwaukee Brewers, with the video evidence being the priceless reaction of teammate Jose Mijares...
WHO DEALT IT?
Giants pitcher farts in bullpen
The Giants just called up Jean Machi on Wednesday, and it looks like the reliever is already becoming fast friends with Jose Mijares. Mijares just learned a brutal, sour lesson that the silent ones are always the deadliest. By the time the hot air had risen it was too late. We don’t think he’ll be sitting next to Machi in the bullpen anymore. And here’s more of the aftermath...
Video: Giants reliever breaks wind in bullpen
On Wednesday, the San Francisco Giants promoted reliever Jean Machi from Triple-A Fresno before their game in Milwaukee.Machi was able to arrive at Miller Park in time to be available to pitch. While waiting for his chance to enter the game, Machi apparently greeted his new teammates by unleashing a gassy odor in the bullpen.Watch as fellow reliever Jose Mijares gets a whiff of...
Which Giants pitcher farted in the bullpen?
Alright, so which Giants pitcher did it? Was it Jose Mijares, who’s on the left and gets blamed for the fart, or was it Jean Machi, who was on the right and smelled it first?
The world may never find out.

San Francisco Giants Place Jeremy Affeldt On 15-Day Disabled List
MLB News: The San Francisco Giants placed pitcher Jeremy Affeldt on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 15. He will miss a minimum of two weeks. Jean Machi takes his place.
Fantasy Ramifications: Being that Affeldt is a middle reliever, as solid as he may be, the fantasy value just isn’t there. He should not be owned in any fantasy format.

Barry Zito On Track For New Contract From San Francisco Giants
Barry Zito has had a very interesting career. Zito won 47 games over the first three years of his career for the Oakland Athletics before going across the bay to the San Francisco Giants, where he had a terrible first four seasons for the Giants before rebounding to finish 15-8 in 2012. The 2013 season [...]
Time to Trade Tim Lincecum?
The Freak. Big Time Timmy. Timmmaaayyyyy.
There were no shortage of nicknames for the two-time Cy-Young Award winner throughout his first three seasons with the San Francisco Giants. His long hair turned him into a local icon, seen almost everywhere in downtown San Francisco on multiple billboards. Each fifth game, when it was Tim's turn in the rotation, it's dubbed...
Barry Zito, this post is for you
It’s been a while since I’ve heard the name “Barry” being echoed throughout AT&T Park, but with the recent success of longtime Giant scapegoat Barry Zito, it’s the least the fans can do.
Zito is the Giants’ best pitcher right now. He has yet to surrender a run – an accomplishment even Sergio Romo was unable to hold.
Looking back at the first day Zito became a...
SF Giants Rumors: Comeback Win, Romo Save, Noonan Shines, Lineup, Down On The Farm
Nick Noonan
Yesterday was a great way to start the road trip for the San Francisco Giants! They were down 5-0 but didn’t throw in the towel. The scratched and clawed their way back into the game, and ended up winning 7-6.
Closer Sergio Romo added another save to the back of his baseball card under the 2013 season stats section. Romo has been perfect thus far, and is 6-for-6 in...
SF Giants Rumors: Barry Zito Does It All, Nick Noonan To Make First MLB Start
Credit: Steven Robles – SF Giants Rumors
It was a nice hot day in San Francisco as the San Francisco Giants put an old fashion whooping on the Rockies (10-0) to sweep the series. Barry Zito tossed 7 innings of shutout ball, and hasn’t allowed a single run on the season. Is it too early to start the Cy Young Award campaign? Zito didn’t just do it with his arm. He also racked...
Tim Lincecum: I’m seen as a “piece of meat”
Not too long ago, Tim Lincecum was one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball. His long hair and his unique delivery were on the top of baseball. He won back-to-back NL Cy Young awards, won 2 World Series starts, and was the face of the franchise. He was only 27, right when a pitcher is entering the prime of their careers. Then, last year happened. His regular season was terrible...
Are Tim Lincecum’s Days Numbered as San Francisco Giants’ Starter?
It’s been a struggle for San Francisco Giants‘ pitcher Tim Linceum, with two straight losing seasons and his earned run average boiling at a high 5.18 at the end of last year. With his career almost being resurrected in multiple relief efforts out of the bullpen during the postseason a year ago, is that where [...]
ONE SIZE FITS ALL
Giant puts World Series ring on baby daughter
Very few of us have seen a championship ring in person. We hear how the championship rings that professional athletes receive cost thousands of dollars, but it’s hard to truly understand how massive they are. San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford posted a photo on Twitter Sunday night that should help put it into perspective. As you can see, Crawford put his Giants World...
Lincecum... oh Lincecum, what do we do with you?
If there's one thing I love about our fans is that they're loyal. Case and point, our undying love for Barry Bonds amid a sea of hatred by the rest of America.
We love our role players, our bullpen guys, and everyone in between (unless they're terrible of course).
Even me, The Dodgerhater, the mean guy that I am, feel pangs of sadness to see guys like Eli Whiteside...
