Just got back from an eleven-day trip in Mexico, when apparently the only thing I missed in American sports were two brawls – the Class-A minor league baseball fight with the pitcher throwing a ball at an opponent and missing so badly he connected with a fan (always a danger of attending a game...

Talk radio shows are almost always an acquired taste. To be more specific, radio hosts can take a while to get used to. When you listen to KNBR as much as I have, you remember when Pete Franklin used the “flush” sound-drop to get rid of callers. Or when Gary Radnich used to do the morning...

By: Sports Girl Liz According to a certain KNBR commercial, the Giants’ lady fans are heading to AT&T Park this year to check-in on their new favorite hottie with a naughty body, Timmy Lincecum. Tim’s got that awkward, boyish charm that cougars and teeny boppers alike are swooning over....

It was disappointing at the time, but the Bronze Medal performance by the 2004 USA Men’s Olympic basketball team is going to make the upcoming Olympic Games much more intriguing. Even though the 2004 team was put together like a auto-picked fantasy team, the third-place finish by the Americans...

By: The Bakersfield Sports Guy Ahhhh, to be a fan of the Minnesota Twins. Thank God for the internet, because if it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t get any media coverage of my favorite team! Did you hear that Josh Hamilton placed second in the home run derby? I’m sure you did. It was...

By: Sports Girl Liz Dara Torres has given hope to all pre-menopausal women in the world that, yes, they could indeed become Olympic swimmers.

By: Sports Girl Liz I love competitive swimming. And more than anything, I love watching the Olympic swimming events.

By: Clarifornia As the media debates what exactly the A’s gained or lost from Harden’s trade to the Cubs, some Oakland fans might choose to jump into the discussion. Others might shrug this off as another one of Beane’s anti-boredom tactics. And others might simply cite Moneyball as...

In the wrong hands, the Giants being only seven games out of first place in the National League West at the All Star break is probably the worst thing that could happen to this team. Fortunately, whether it’s due to his somewhat recent two-year extension or a complete shift in philosophy, Brian Sabean...

By: Meg Marlin Bay Area sports fans, there are a lot of reasons not to miss this weekend’s UFC Silva vs. Irvin.  Not least of which, it’s free. Proving that its promoters are savvy businesspeople, lately UFC has scheduled events every other month that are shown on cable television rather...
