If you all will excuse me, I’m going to channel Bill Simmons for a moment (and not just because of the name of this site, which originally was “thesportsguy.com” until I convinced my girlfriend that while I enjoyed the gesture, the new site she created for me needed to have a different...

With the Giants making headlines yesterday, the Warriors sneakily went about their business of becoming the NBA’s version of the Pittsburgh Pirates, trading Marco Belinelli to the Toronto Raptors for the remains of Devean George and the Warriors’ favorite player lately — “cash...

What I’m about to write either proves my amazingness as a fan or indicts me for being exactly the type of Bay Area fan (or boyfriend of a Bay Area fan) that fits all the bad stereotypes: when the Freddy Sanchez trade was announced, I was driving my girlfriend to an arts and crafts store in Colma....

(12:07 pm update, from Joel Sherman of the NY Post via Twitter: “Giants definitely getting Freddy Sanchez, a source tells me.” So who do we believe, Baggs or Sherman?)

Introducing the Golden State Warriors, a team whose most recent problem is the veteran point guard they just traded for actually is healthy enough to play. Marcus Thompson II (who I’m pretty sure is the only actual beat writer covering the team these days, since Matt Steinmetz has gone national)...

Yeah, I know: real original headline. Sorry, nothing else comes to mind. Seeing the Giants play this way at home reminds me of the first time I went to AT&T (then Pac Bell) Park. I was with my buddy Carp, back when we lived in Eureka and going to a Giants game was a BIG DEAL. And this wasn’t...

For those wondering or even hoping Mike Vick will face the same type of job market after being reinstated today by the NFL that Barry Bonds did in 2008 (or the average person does after losing their job these days), don’t hold your breath.

This isn’t the first time Brian Sabean has vented publicly about the ineptitude of his players, but it might be one of the last. Yesterday, after the Giants finished off one of their weakest offensive road trips since Candlestick Park had Astroturf, Sabean was downright ageist, courtesy of Andrew...

Sadly, Michael Phelps is going to have to break records without the help of his high tech secret weapon. And no, I’m not talking about the new anti-gravity bong that he bought while stopping off in Amsterdam on his way to the FINA World Championships in Rome. FINA, the professional swimming world’s...

One down, only six to go. Sometimes a man needs to stake his reputation on a completely irrational prediction, and here’s mine: if the San Francisco Giants win seven of the thirteen games they play against the Colorado Rockies, they’ll finish ahead of the Rockies in the final standings. Whether...
