Giants player bus broke down on way to airport. Not kidding. We picked them up on shoulder. Say it with me everyone - stay hot Giants

According to Andrew Baggarly of mercurynews.com, the players boarded the staff bus with Giants announcer Dave Flemming and others while the players' equipment was loaded onto that bus and they all headed to the airport together. I'm guessing it was a little cramped, but at least it sounds like they were able to get everyone.
The Giants now head to New York, fittingly, to face off against the Mets, who haven't been strangers to on- and off-field problems themselves in 2017.
