During Saturday’s Giants-Dodgers game in San Fran a couple bros took to McCovey Cove to grill up some brats, down a few brews and they were wearing horse masks.
You stay weird, San Francisco.

The San Francisco Giants are taking fans on a long, strange trip next month as they hold Grateful Dead Tribute Night.
August 5 at AT&T Park members of the Dead will perform the National Anthem prior to the game and a portion of the proceeds will go to various non-profits “near and ear to the bands’ heart.”
The Giants will be sporting these trippy unis as part of the festivities.
No word on on whether munchies will be half off though.

San Francisco Giants starter Tim Lincecum tossed a no-hitter Wednesday afternoon in a 4-0 win over the San Diego Padres at San Francisco’s AT&T Park.
Lincecum walked one and struck out six, completing the no-hitter in 113 pitches, 73 for strikes.
“I’m just relieved right now. To be a part of something like that is fun,” said Lincecum. “I wasn’t really thinking about it. At the very end, it kind of caught me by surprise.”
The former Cy Young Award winner becomes the first pitcher to no-hit the same team twice in a two-year span. Lincecum also joins Addie Joss as the only players in MLB history to throw two no-hitters against the same team. Joss no-hit the White Sox in 1908 and 1910, so this hasn’t happened in over a century.
Timmy then got weird during the post-game celebration donning a US Men’s Soccer team jersey and a gladiator helmet.

Check out the hands on the San Francisco Giants fan as he calmly snags Troy Tulowitzki’s home run while holding his infant daughter. Nice hands, dad. Just don’t tell mom.

Sometime over the weekend a rogue band of brazen bandits made off with San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence’s ride. No, his Mercedes is fine, it’s the scooter that’s missing.
Ahhhh someone stole my scooter! 😦

Hunter Pence is formally offering a signed Pence bobblehead (riding his scooter) for the return of his stolen scooter. “I’ll forgive you.”

Thus far, no ransom note has been received, but San Fran authorities believe the thievery may be the work of this guy:

Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki is pounding the hell out of the ball this year, particularly at Coors Field where he’s hitting .521 with eight homers and 24 RBI in 21 games. Tulo’s hitting so well that the San Francisco Giants accused him of stealing signs. Tulowitzki didn’t respond to the accusations in words, he did it with music and changed his walkup song to “I Saw the Sign” by Ace of Bass.

His identity was revealed in November 2013 and it turns out Batman is not Bruce Wayne, after all. He is 5-year old Miles Scott. Miles, a kindergartner who is in remission from leukemia, made headlines and warmed hearts when the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the city of San Francisco threw an enormous celebration for the mini-masked hero last fall.
Today, BatKid made a hero’s entrance to Opening Day at AT&T Park in a Batmobile-themed Lamborghini.

BatKid made some mask adjustments (any masked superhero knows how fickle those things can be) and gave the packed stadium a victorious rockfist in the air as he delivered the first pitch.

Even the Joker may have teared up a little at this one.

The San Francisco Giants have announced the second annual ‘Metallica Night’ at AT&T Park will be on May 16.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers announced:
“Winter might be right around the corner, but we’re already thinking about baseball! We had such an amazing time last year supporting our local team and hanging at the yard that we jumped at the chance to do it all again with the San Francisco Giants as the second annual Metallica Night will take place on Friday, May 16, 2014. When the Giants take the field that night against the Miami Marlins, we’ll be on hand to kick it off with the National Anthem and first pitch, joining the orange and black faithful for the rest of the evening for all kinds of Metalli-fun and games.”
Fans will get inflatable guitars and a Metallica/Giants guitar pick.

The whole “let’s draw attention to a team you’ve never heard of by wearing weird jerseys” fad has officially jumped the shark.
First we had the Toledo Mud Hens announcing they would wear Ghostbusters jerseys this season then we had the Lehigh Valley IronPigs bacon-inspired uniforms. Now we have this announcement:
In case you missed it. Let me introduce you to the first look at the @FresnoGrizzlies Ninja Turtles Jerseys pic.twitter.com/2yYiKqMgpl
— Minor League Promos (@MiLBPromos) March 10, 2014
The Grizzlies say they will auction off the jerseys for charity. Donatello was unavailable for comment.
MLB teams have been getting team pictures taken over the last few days and there have been some interesting photo opportunities.
The Texas Rangers thought nothing says baseball like bats and urinals.
The Giants Tim Lincecum attempted to grow a mustache.
Carlos Villanueva was rocking his ‘stache.
And Astros bullpen coach Craig Bjornson simply lost his mind.
