The 2008 San Francisco Giants: Worst-Cas...

Technically this isn’t a worst-case scenario, because that could include something as horrific as a plane crash. What follows is probably better described as “What would happen if the Giants played to their potential while getting absolutely no breaks at all.” I was feeling pretty optimistic...

Free agents can start signing at midnight tonight, and the 49ers are only rumored to be pursuing two players: linebacker Lance Briggs and defensive end Justin Smith. Since McNolan (Mike Nolan and Scot McCloughan) seems to have a totally defensive point of view when it comes to player acquisitions, it...

Amazingly, the Giants are playing their first Spring Training game of the year today against the Cubs. Have the games always started in February? Actually, who cares? No matter that logic probably overrules any miniscule branch of optimism a Giants fan can grasp for in 2008 — the first day of Spring...

Wednesday’s Weird KNBR Commercial ...
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in KNBR on 02 28th, 2008 | 2 Comments
Inane rambling can make any radio commercial unlistenable, but what can make any driver lunge towards his radio tuner quicker than Ichiro diving back to the bag on a pickoff throw? A bad jingle. I guess most marketing departments would disagree, saying that a jingle that gets in your head, drives you...

Like the Warriors when they heard about Yao’s foot (even though Houston destroyed the Wizards last night without him), Kevin Frandsen couldn’t help but take a little pleasure from someone else’s injury announcement yesterday. Omar Vizquel is all set for arthroscopic surgery to clean...

The Warriors received some fantastic news today: Yao Ming has a stress fracture in his left foot that will keep him out the rest of the season. OK everybody, let’s cheer for misfortune! Hip hip hooray! Maybe the Rockets are still 2.5 games ahead of the W’s, which are a Baron Davis injury...

Some Oscar thoughts, to keep my mind off the Warriors losing at home to Atlanta on Friday night: Busey v. Seacrest As much attention as Gary Busey’s red carpet interruption is going to receive, there was one underlying factor that made the moment more than just another awkward interaction between...

Fantasy Baseball: Be Like Beane on Draft...
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in Barry Zito, Billy Beane, Dan Haren, MLB, Mark Mulder, Oakland A's, Tim Hudson on 02 23rd, 2008 | 2 Comments
Billy Beane’s best quality is one that would serve many fantasy general managers well: he knows when one of his players is overvalued, and either trades them away or lets them go. Since most of you haven’t had your fantasy baseball drafts yet, you probably don’t have any overvalued...

Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in 49ers, Mike Nolan, NFL, Scot McCloughan on 02 23rd, 2008 | No Comments
You’d think a team with Patrick Willis would be immune to having a bad linebacker week, especially in February. But the 49ers accomplished that this very week, even if Thursday’s rumors that the Chicago Bears are charging San Francisco with tampering aren’t true. That’s pretty...

For the many that flipped back and forth from Lakers/Suns to Celtics/Warriors, it was one of the best nights of regular season NBA action ever. (Of course, I have to tell myself that sitting on the couch with my remote was better than being at The Oracle, especially after finding out after the fact that...
