George's Bio

Born and raised in San Francisco as a die-hard 49ers and Giants fan. I've always pulled for Cal football, and as a recent Georgetown grad, I'm a big fan of the Hoyas.
I am more than happy to read an article if you genuinely think I will find it interesting.

"As good a passer as he is, Montana may not be in Marino's class, but, as good a passer as Marino is, he can't beat you as many ways as Montana can."

It's official, Madison Bumgarner's a Big League Giant:

That's exactly what I was thinking.

That's the best offense the Giants face for the remainder and, given the number of lefties, it was a really bad matchup for him.

That move really could be brilliant in hindsight. Particularly b/c it kept him away from Col/LA (although I'm not sure he'd have gone back to LA).
