Lincecum’s the dessert after “piecemeal” offseason

Lincecum’s the dessert after ̶...
After a winter in which the Giants heard their fans’ wishes for a tropical vacation or a luxury car and answered those requests with a few nondescript household appliances, they finally made a splash by doing what we all knew they would: sign Tim Lincecum to a tidy little “stay of arbitration”...

Spending other people’s money...
It’s almost a relief that the Brian Sabean didn’t dive into free agency from the start with the same vigor as a child who sees one of those giant inflatable bouncer things for the first time. He did that last year, and ended up going 1-for-4 on his veteran spending spree, as Sabean turned...

No place like (Tim Lincecum’s) home

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...

Why Mike Vick won’t get the Barry ...
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.

What did Brian Sabean expect?...
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...

Appreciating Tim Lincecum

Appreciating Tim Lincecum...
There’s a lot of things to complain about when it comes to the San Francisco Giants, historically speaking. Just mention “complain” and “Giants” in the same sentence, and any fan’s brain will become a series of flashing mental pictures featuring Jose Cruz, Jr., Scott...

Unit hits DL, but at least Pablo Sandoval’s healthy

Unit hits DL, but at least Pablo Sandova...
It was about as depressing a scene as you can imagine. After 36 hours on a windy houseboat, and a 4th of July without fireworks, we tiredly drug our sunburned bodies into a 2006 Honda Accord that could have doubled as a hot air popcorn popper. Good and bad news on the radio — the Giants had followed...

Hey Warrior fans, at least you don’t root for Memphis

Hey Warrior fans, at least you don’...
It’s almost as if Chris Wallace is playing an elaborate prank on Grizzly fans. Unfortunately for basketball fans in Tennessee who would like an occasional reprieve from all the ridiculous Lane Kiffin-related news stories that have amused us ever since he became coach of the Volunteers, everything...

Giants’ (most recent) worst loss of the year

Giants’ (most recent) worst loss o...
If you want to find some silver lining from today’s gut-douching blown save from Brian Wilson, at least there’s a new terrible loss to focus on. The Giants have suffered many horrible losses this season: the 2-0 loss to Arizona after Tim Lincecum struck out 13 in 8 shutout innings; the 5-4...

Bleachers 101: Intro to S.F. Giants

Bleachers 101: Intro to S.F. Giants...
I caught yesterday’s surprisingly frustrating Giants game from the middle of the left field bleachers, where it’s apparent that a large percentage of the ticket-buying public could use a tutorial on what the San Francisco Giants viewing experience really entails. Sure, everyone knows that...
