Hey, Giant Fans. Welcome to the Giant Insider podcast. My name's Jerry Foley. I'm the senior editor of the

Giant Insider newspaper. And with me, as always, is the beat writer in the heart of Giants Nation.

Nobody beats the biz. Chris Bizignano. Well, three weeks ago, kind of on top of the world, Chris,
