10-Day roundup: Is Posey starting yet?
10-Day roundup: Is Posey starting yet?...
Well, I’m back from a week in Kauai, and man am I glad to be back in San Francisco. Does that sound believable? Because it’s a complete lie. Fog, street-poop and my job. Yeah, I’m really glad I’m not still in that tropical paradise. But that’s the last I’m going to...

Thanks to some Google Alerts wizardry from my lovely fiance Sports Girl Liz, we found out that not only is there a new SB Nation Bay Area site, but they’re the first media outlet to fully dissect my “5 Things the Warriors can do” post from a couple days ago, passage by passage. Or any...

You knew after their last 5 games and 9 of their last 12, Brian Sabean had to do something. After all, if the team stays this stagnant on their marathon road trip going into the All-Star break, the Giants can kiss the idea of selling 3 million tickets this season goodbye. Oh, they’ll also have...

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...

Don’t get it twisted, my last post wasn’t a call for the Giants to pick up Pat Burrell. He can’t field, he’s already made his money for the season and (most importantly) hasn’t contributed anything positive to a baseball team since Ryan Garko was an up-and-coming patient...

There’s no way the Giants’ offensive struggles will keep going on like this, at least not with this group of players. John Bowker may or may not know this (he probably does), but this weekend is a sort of final tryout for him. If he wants to avoid a Fred Lewis-style banishment — and...

No pressure, guys. You’re only fighting for the future of the city of Cleveland, professional sports in Ohio and world peace. Because if LeBron James can’t rally his band of teammates who worked their asses off all year while looking forward to the tough games where they could sit back and...

I haven’t seen the Giants or A’s play in nearly a week on television, unless you count that replay I saw yesterday on the TV above the checkout area of my local overpriced boutique grocery store. I bought an apple tart yesterday to take to the Mother’s Day party, and it was delicious....

Now that the San Francisco Giants’ offense has been exposed for the house of cards we all hoped it wasn’t but were pretty sure it was before the season started, we’re back to square one. Which means everyone panics, throws up their hands and offers a bunch of insane ideas that make...

One team says there’s “magic inside,” and the other team, well, they have pretty funny commercials (sigh). Regardless, the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland A’s tell their respective stories in wildly different ways. One is a big money, big media team in a nice stadium, and...
