It's a holiday podcast! Chad and Ben talk a lot of Lincecum, and a little Bumgarner, and start getting a little nervous...but then talk Melky, Posey, and Pagan and everything seems a little better. Who do we love this week? Who do we hate? How many awkward things is Ben going to say after having to work on a national holiday? Tune in to find out!

The Giants are back to .500 and the boys are feeling somewhat better but still aren't convinced. Why? Well, we'll tell you all about it.

After a tough week the Giants find themselves in some trouble in the west. A walk-off win makes everyone feel better though, even Chad, Ben and Willie.

While Ben is on a dream trip on the east coast, there's still baseball going on here. So Chad and Willie discuss the first 22 games of the year and what some of the notable happenings have been so far. 12-10

Ben sat down with Wendy Thurm last week to discuss some of the latest changes to the Giants, including Bumgarner's emergence, the team's offense, Spring Training, and franchise players.

Chad, Ben, and Erin reunite to discuss a rough opening week for the Giants, replete with ups and downs. We talk Timmy and Wilson, what to panic and not panic about, defense, offense, small sample sizes, and Aubrey Huff. Really, we talk a lot about Aubrey Huff.

The preseason TortureCast/Giants Pod supersode! We are joined live at the public house over drinks by Danny and Thomas from the 2 Guys, a Glove & a Coke Bottle Podcast, as well as Samantha Land from KNBR and Michael from the Grubby Glove. We drink copious amounts and talk about the upcoming season. Settle in, this one goes deep.

With no Ben, Willie and Chad discuss the waning spring and how it will shape the roster in 2012. We also discuss how lame it is to beat people up and shout out Erin...again.

After some technical difficulties, Chad and Ben cover a range of Spring Topics, including Lincecum, roster cuts, coverage for starters who may see DL time in April, the cover of ESPN Magazine, gender and fandom, and an interview with Christina Russo.

Willie Dills is back on the show and we talk about the performances 10 games into Spring Training. Do they matter? Who is making waves? And who the hell is Tommy Joseph?!
