Pitch counts and Madison Bumgarner
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in Barry Zito, Bruce Bochy, Jonathan Sanchez, Madison Bumgarner, Mike Krukow, San Francisco Giants, Tim Lincecum on 08 26th, 2010 | 3 Comments
Pitch counts and Madison Bumgarner...
Mike Krukow said it on Friday night when Madison Bumgarner got strike one against Albert Pujols in their last battle, a lively confrontation that resulted in Pujols hitting a home run to center and ending Bumgarner’s night in the 8th inning: if the Giants make the playoffs, Bumgarner would be one...

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...

Did Krukow really call Zito a clown?

Did Krukow really call Zito a clown?...
Mike Krukow should know better. Every time he opens up his mouth and calls somebody a clown, there have been repercussions. The first time it was Damon Bruce, and that caused the biggest Giants vs. KNBR evening host battle since Felipe Alou used to nod off next to the bat rack. I wasn’t even sure...

Monday Roundup: beer, ball and tats

Monday Roundup: beer, ball and tats...
Went beer tasting yesterday. OK, that’s not really accurate. When you go wine tasting, they have those buckets you toss your unused wine into. “Hmmm, this one is too young. No thank you, wine pourer. I’m leaving room for the food you aren’t providing.” (Yes, you’re...

Tim Lincecum’s mission: become Greg Maddux

I’m hardly the first person to compare the Giants’ starting rotation to the 1990′s Braves. But at this point, it’s too obvious to ignore. Forgive me, because I’m going to perform the sports equivalent of going into “Sex And The City” mode (can you believe that...

What does $100 million buy these days?

What does $100 million buy these days?...
You know those columns where the writer has no idea what point he wants to make, so he just provides a bunch of mind-boggling stats about what ridiculous contracts handed to athletes could buy? For example, Barry Zito’s $126 million contract (if taxes didn’t exist) could pay for 15,750,000...

Where there’s fog, there’s fire

What a crazy, busy weekend. After you get engaged every weekend becomes sort of planned for you, and it takes skill (and, some would argue, a lack of perspective and an obsessive personality) to fit in all the sports you used to watch in a carefree and sometimes slovenly manner. Since if you’re...

So, did Nellie get the record?

So, did Nellie get the record?...
It was like the entire sport of basketball was exhausted today. Can’t blame it really, after last night’s crazy, wonderful, awful, disappointing loss for Butler. So the Warriors followed up their Lifetime Original Win on Sunday versus Toronto with an 18-point loss to the Wizards. Not after...

Lincecum’s the dessert after “piecemeal” offseason

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”...
