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”...

Giants sign Aubrey Huff…3 years too late
Giants sign Aubrey Huff…3 years to...
If I had a blog back then, I would have written about it. If I had a Twitter account, I would have (groan) tweeted about it. Three hot stove leagues ago, Aubrey Huff was a free agent who fell through the cracks for weeks after a solid career with the Tampa Bay D-Rays and Houston Astros, and the Giants...

Cha, stoney quality start brah!...
One of the main cliches of the past couple decades has been that 80% of NBA players are stoners. Could be true. Wouldn’t really surprise any of us, I’d imagine. But this Tim Lincecum should shed light on the group of athletes who either rival or surpass Michael Beasley in toking terms: MLB...

Barry Zito gets his own chant...
“Let’s go Zito” won’t set any records for originality, but it’s the thought that counts. And who would have thought at any time in 2007, ‘08 or the first half of ‘09 that Barry Zito would have anybody chanting his name in any way other than vitriolic? He may...

According to Andy Baggarly and others, the Giants picked up Brad Penny to be their fifth starter. On one hand, it’s a good thing that the Giants don’t have to keep rotating guys like Ryan Sadowski, Joe Martinez or (uggh) Ramon Ortiz in and out of the rotation. Also, the thought of throwing...

With the NFL coming out this week and putting its collective foot/shield down on the whole Tweeting-athlete phenomenon, the dominant professional sports league in the United States took a step back towards the rest of the pack. Then the self-professed World Wide Leader in Sports did the same thing, with...

Ah, daytime baseball on a weekday. A time for a man to examine his surroudings, breathe in the fresh air of his apartment living room, and wonder how on earth the Giants have compiled a group of starters who are the baseball equivalent of the early-2000’s Sacramento Kings. Barry Zito would play...

What did Brian Sabean expect?
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...

The unstoppable Giants ground attack...
I think what today’s Giants game showed us was why it’s been so hard for the Giants to pull off a sweep every time they’ve had the opportunity this season. The Braves were on fire, Barry Zito was the only healthy Giants starter with the requisite four days of rest, and the Giants’...
