In defense of Jonathan Sanchez...
No matter how slow the news day, or how fast for that matter, the media absolutely loves it when athletes or coaches guarantee victory. It’s the absolute height of lazy journalism, complete with heavy usage of the phrase “bulletin board material” and obligatory mentions of Joe Namath. Jonathan...

I wish I could criticize Sabean…

I wish I could criticize Sabean…...
I really, really do. Ever since sports talk radio changed the way we talk, whine, yell and bitch about sports, criticism is the only real way to get your point across anymore. Ask anybody who’s making a good living in this crazy business. If you talk about how great everything is all the time,...

Time to play GM

Time to play GM...
There are different ways to write/blog about the rosterbatory practice of obsessing over the trade deadline: 1. Read and respond to every trade rumor, now matter how nonsensical or the source involved. “Oh snap! Chris Rose just said the Giants are interested in Albert Pujols. I might even give...

First post-Barry Giants team with an identity

You know what they say: you never want to get in a home-run hitting contest with the San Francisco Giants. What’s going on here? Did we really watch last night’s game and end up surprised that Edgar Renteria didn’t come through, that he struck out to end the game? Even Aaron Rowand’s...

The best game and Tim Lincecum pitch of the year

The best game and Tim Lincecum pitch of ...
It all started when Tim Lincecum decided that if he wasn’t going to get the win, or even have much of a chance of seeing the sixth inning, he was going to still make his mark. The mark would be circular, about 3.5 inches in diameter, preferably with two distinct lines of stitches, and hopefully...

A perfect time to crush the Dodgers

A perfect time to crush the Dodgers...
The Giants have this Mets series wrapped up all pretty with a bow and stuff, so you might be better off going outside and doing something instead of watching this afternoon’s game. Even the feeblest baseball teams are incredibly difficult to sweep in a 4-game series, and ones with Johan Santana...

Torture? Try really, really annoying

Torture? Try really, really annoying...
Fire Bochy. Fire Sabean. Fire Meulens. Fire Kelly. Fire Sandoval. Fire Molina. Fire Renteria. Fire Rowand. Fire Seal. No, we can’t. This is the bunch we’re stuck with. Before the season started that wasn’t exactly okay, but the current cast of characters was at least tolerable to most...

Monday Roundup: a great weekend to go outside

Monday Roundup: a great weekend to go ou...
In the age of instant information and access, it’s curious that all we seem to want to do is reassert that something we already knew is true. I blame Dennis Green, whose “They are who we thought they were” rant is probably the most well-known and oft-quoted coach’s rant, besides...

5 questions facing the Giants

5 questions facing the Giants...
After the first couple months of the season, it’s pretty clear we know all we need to know about the San Francisco Giants. At times they look like the slowest, oldest team in baseball, then over Memorial Day Weekend the main image we all had was Andres Torres and Freddy Sanchez sprinting around...

Hey Giants: Get a leadoff hitter!

Hey Giants: Get a leadoff hitter!...
Wow, that was exciting. Talk about our lives changing after the Giants braintrust got together to fix the offensive woes. Yep, we’re moving players around, getting impact veteran infielders back from the DL, things will change just watch… I feel like I’m having a flashback. There’s...
