It was the Tuesday Night Purple Purge. Christian Kossd: demoted. Sam Huff: gone. LaMonte Wade Jr.: gone?!

Links right here:

Late Night LaMonte's Biggest Hits

LaMonte Wade Jr.'s Top 10 Giants Home Runs

All of LaMonte Wade Jr.'s Giants Home Runs

Season 4 · Episode 297

Monday, June 2, 2025 • Duration 49:39

Seriously. We're not doing a bit. Our comedians break down the Marlins series: the offense is still anemic, the starters were good and bullpen was elite. So, same old, same old. Then they discuss the recent chatter in the Giantsphere about the first base situation. Is a change imminent?

Thursday, May 29, 2025 • Duration 50:07

Because this offense is laughable. Our quacks break down the Tigers series: the pitching was great, the offense was not. Later they do a "therapy" session where Matthew revels in the great pitching and Ben wallows in the woeful hitting.

Season 4 · Episode 294

Thursday, May 22, 2025 • Duration 50:52

Well that was royally mid. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) Our anti-monarchists briefly reference the very blah Royals series, sing the praises of Hayden Birdsong (KAKAW!), feign shock at Justin Verlander's move to the IL, and lament streaky offense. Then, they do the unthinkable and call out Jung Hoo Lee. (Someone has to!) Also, they discuss how the Giants can get better but they don't say the "T" word.

Season 4 · Episode 291

Monday, May 12, 2025 • Duration 49:08

We admit it; it's our fault they were swept. The boys break down the dismal offense, the good pitching and the outstanding play of Heliot Ramos in the Twins series.
