San Francisco Giants

Tim Lincecum is nicknamed "The Freak" for a reason, and this latest Red Bull video is further proof.

With one of only 50 cameras in the world that can follow a speeding bullet, the folks over at Red Bull decided to shoot Lincecum throwing a pitch at 1,000 frames per second.

The incredible part about Lincecum's motion is how far his arm extends behind his back before it catapults forward.

John Steigerwald, who writes a column for Observer-Reporter.com, places the blame for the beating out side of Dodger Stadium on Opening Day on the victim, San Francisco Giants fan, Bryan Stow.

He basically says Stow (which he originally spelled Snow, before the site corrected) was asking for it by wearing a Giants Jersey in Dodger country?

What is this, an episode of Gangland?

For the second time in a row, Clayton Kershaw made Giants hitters look like little leaguers. 

Last night, the southpaw allowed only six hits over 6.2 innings, striking out seven, while not allowing a single run. 

He has now accumulated 13.2 scoreless innings against Giants this season, 22.2 dating back to 2010.

It was World Series schwag weekend in San Francisco, with rings and many other special commemorations for the defending champs' first homestand.

While the Yankees and Red Sox were playing over the weekend, another rivalry is getting underway in San Francisco on Monday. The Dodgers took three out of four from the Giants to start out the season. Two of those wins were only by a run though. 

"Panda" went on a much needed diet, and the effects are showing. Sandoval has come out on a tear, leading the team with a .440 average. He also leads the team with a.481 OBP and 11 hits. 

Sandoval, like a few Giants, may be playing this season with a chip on his shoulder after he was benched during the playoffs and didn't contribute much. Sandoval had an average of .268 last season after hitting .330 in his first full major league season. 

The San Francisco Giants are going to have many decisions to make in the outfield. Cody Ross will return from a torn calf injury in less than two weeks. The biggest decision of all may be what to do with outfielder Aaron Rowand. 

Aaron Rowand hits game-winning single in the bottom of the 12th inning and goes 2-for-3 in Giants' 5-4 win.

Looks like things have not changed much since last year.

The San Francisco Giants continued their victorious but torturous ways, as a sellout crowd at AT&T Park witnessed one of the greatest, yet weirdest games baseball fans will ever see.

Barry Bonds awaits his fate in a federal courthouse in San Francisco for allegedly lying about knowingly using steroids.

As many people know already, the San Francisco Giants will be receiving their World Series rings tomorrow prior to their 10:05 PM EST start against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals. The Giants scuffled to start the season 2-4 on the road and now look to bounce back at home and get their season underway.
