Giants get the band back together…again

Giants get the band back together…...
Bengie Molina is back. At first I was shocked, and it was a mixture of “Uggh, I thought we were rid of him” and “Wow, the Giants have a lot more guys capable of hitting 20 homers in a season than they have in a while.” We’ve all gotten so caught up in the allure of 1-year...

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...

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...

The Good and Bad of Oktoberfest

The Good and Bad of Oktoberfest...
Good: Getting off work early on Wednesday evening (sort of); walking with my girlfriend to the stadium; getting a pretty awesome Giants Dasboot stein that shockingly didn’t feature any logos from some brand like Geico or Cialis; drinking a free beer along with four others in roughly 52 minutes...

Barry Zito gets his own chant

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...

The Giants just…won’t…die

The Giants just…won’t…...
Part of you is near reverential, the other part of you is exhausted and secretly wishes it would all just end. The San Francisco Giants, the team that tonight came within 2.5 wins of the over/under Las Vegas set for them before the season, is again only 3.5 games behind the Colorado Rockies. 3.5. It...

Madison Bumgarner, inning by inning

Madison Bumgarner, inning by inning...
First inning: Duane Kuiper says if you put your hand on Madison Bumgarner’s chest, it would vibrate. I guess Kuip’s talking about your hand, although I guess it could work both ways. You’d have to imagine that would be true, although you couldn’t tell by looking at the kid. He’s...

When Buster Posey comes to town, it’s bye bye Bengie

When Buster Posey comes to town, it̵...
Some would call him refreshingly honest, I would call him incredibly insecure. All he asks is you don’t call up a first-round phenom at his position while he’s nursing a boo-boo on his leg. His name is Bengie Molina, and his insecurity came out in full force yesterday in this exchange with...

Buster Posey: this year’s Pablo Sandoval?

Buster Posey: this year’s Pablo Sa...
Sometimes, you can feel the rage behind some of Brian Sabean’s roster moves. There’s a point where the San Francisco Giants’ resident tire-kicker watches an awful loss, and at the end of the day does some angry due diligence and makes a reactionary roster move. Luckily for the Giants,...

The Giants should hire my cousin

The Giants should hire my cousin...
Shockingly, after the most tumultuous week of August baseball any of us can remember, the Giants and Rockies are all tied up. All it took was yesterday’s nail-biter, which doubled as one of the best times I’ve ever had at a Giants game — and you know a game is great when you say that...
