Giants shuffle the dreck...
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...

It’s time for the Giants to lower beer prices

It’s time for the Giants to lower ...
We all knew it was true, and now we have proof. The Giants charge more for one beer ($8.75) than any team in baseball. According to a “fan cost index” from Team Marketing Report, the 20-oz brews at AT&T Park are 75 cents more than the second-most expensive park, which surprisingly is...

Now that Casey Blake has officially become the first opposing player to openly mock Brian Wilson’s X-gesture, it’s time to answer some burning questions:

Dispatch from New York

Dispatch from New York...
New York City has long been known for its excesses. To list a few: Carrie Bradshaw’s $600 shoes, gourmet restaurants that require reservations half a year in advance, and A-Rod’s (A-Roid’s?) salary. As of last April, his salary is $28 million, more than the entire Florida Marlins’...

4 hits for the A’s, 4 hot dogs for me

4 hits for the A’s, 4 hot dogs for...
I’d never even come close to seeing a no-hitter in person, but if I were to see anyone pull it off it would have to be Tim Wakefield. I’ve only been to about 100 major league games in my life, and I’ve seen the world’s last effective knuckleballer pitch roughly 84 times. OK, maybe...

Tim Lincecum has thicker skin than Josh Beckett

Tim Lincecum has thicker skin than Josh ...
Of course I was worried when Tim Lincecum was replaced with Joe Martinez to start the fourth. Lincecum’s production has seemed too good to be true from the very beginning of his Giants tenure, and any Giants fan would be lying if they told you they don’t hold onto the fear of losing Lincecum...

Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Part 3: Second Basemen

Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Part 3: Secon...
Every fantasy baseball roster needs at least one second baseman, and the lucky owners who draft or trade for a productive one have a security blanket that in many cases will ensure one reaches the playoffs. But how does one find second base perfection? The top three will go extremely early in your draft...

I love having NBA League Pass, which allows me to escape the poor defense — and even worse picture quality — of the local Warriors broadcasts. Unfortunately I don’t have the MLB Network, or I’d be able to watch the Giants/Indians Spring Training opener that just started about...

Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Part 2: First...
When I first started collecting baseball cards in 1987, first basemen ruled the Major League landscape. There were six young surefire Hall-of-Famers at first (or so we thought at the time): Will Clark, Mark McGwire, Mark Grace, Fred McGriff, Don Mattingly and Wally Joyner. Hell, maybe even John Kruk...

Manny Ramirez is at it again. Only this time he isn’t getting into a confrontation with one of his teammates. Apparently Ramirez requested 16 tickets for Saturday’s game against the Astros, which traveling secretary Jack McCormick said might not be possible. After yelling, “just do...
