In ESPN The Magazine, Tim Keown tries to figure out who Giants closer Sergio Romo really is: an impish prankster, an immigration activist or an insecure little guy? Maybe all three.

In ESPN The Magazine's Music issue, Tim Keown writes about how San Francsco Giants third base coach Tim Flannery is using his Irish-inspired music to save the life of one fan.

In ESPN The Magazine, Tim Keown writes about Barry Bonds and how his chase for history destroyed his narrative.

In ESPN The Magazine, Giants pitcher Barry Zito talks to Tim Keown about the changes in his personal life and baseball life that led to his amazing turnaround and World Series dominance.

Any attempts to paint Sergio Romo's final pitch -- and, by extension, the Giants' run to the title -- as luck or trickery is to miss the point. The Giants were better, and they were better because they were smarter.

Barry Zito starting Game 1 of the World Series in AT&T Park is far more of an upset than the Giants winning three straight in Cincinnati in the NLDS, or winning three straight from the Cardinals in the NLCS.

Don't get fooled by the heavy-metal music and the eccentric personalities; the closer job -- getting the last three outs of a game in which your team has a one- to three-run lead -- is just not that big of a deal.

Melky Cabrera's positive drug test and 50-game suspension prove that baseball's testing works. And so do PEDs.

In ESPN The Magazine, Tim Keown writes that Tim Lincecum and Clayton Kershaw faced off in four filthy duels last season, treating fans to baseball's latest, greatest pitching rivalry. And this showdown is just getting started.

As Tim Keown writes in ESPN The Magazine, the bond for a group of San Francisco Giants fans in Section 135 extends well beyond AT&T Park.

Sadly, it's come to this: The Giants and the Dodgers joined together Monday night to try to defuse the tension between their fans after the beating of Bryan Stow in Los Angeles.

It has long been assumed that Barry Bonds' standoffish personality would ultimately be his undoing in his upcoming perjury trial. But, as Tim Keown writes in the March 21 issue of ESPN The Magazine, the exact opposite is true.

This Giants season was not a victory for logic. It was a victory for individualism that became collectivism. Weird beards and long hair and weird hair and long beards worked together.

One way to look at the Game 1 mound matchup in the NLCS: old-school (that'd be Roy Halladay) versus new-school (that'd be Tim Lincecum).

Smoke, mirrors and a never-give-up attitude brought Bobby Cox's Braves and Tim Lincecum's Giants into the National League playoffs. Think the Phillies are scared? (Neither do we.)

Bruce Bochy provided an unexpected image of joy, circling the stadium with his players after the Giants clinched the NL West on Sunday. Here's hoping for three more weeks filled with those kind of moments.
