The good-ol’ boys at Texas Tech are probably doing a boot-scoot boogie over the Mike Leach videos that orangebloods.com bestowed to the world this morning, uncensored videos that show the recently-canned coach giving his players hell in the locker room. Leach hits a variety of subjects, not least...

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 get the band back together…again

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...

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...

Now that the Giants have added Juan Uribe and Mark DeRosa to Bruce Bochy’s Swiss Army infield, where the only thing that doesn’t change from day to day is the sight of Edgar Renteria reminding all of us that we’re all going to see a day when we get old and our range sinks far below...

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...

Carney Lansford didn’t walk a whole lot during his playing career. He walked about as much as Pablo Sandoval. Now he isn’t the Giants’ hitting coach anymore, and while it’s hard to shed too many tears, it’s hard not to feel like Lansford is probably relieved tonight. Sandoval’s...

Don’t worry, I’m not going to go point-by-point on why the 49ers lost to the Falcons today. You probably know, because you watched it (on TV apparently, since Candlestick Park looked about half-full from 1 pm until 3 pm when everyone left). But seriously, there are so many things wrong with...

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...

Great timing on that email, Giants Brass

As if it wasn’t bad enough to watch last night’s game, when I got to work this morning I found an email in my inbox with this subject heading:
