Leaving Ross in RF wasn’t Bochy’s biggest mistake
Leaving Ross in RF wasn’t Bochy...
For a game where we got to watch Jonathan Sanchez carve up the Rockies for eight innings, that was one terrible game to sit in the stands and watch last night. Terrible offense, several head-scratching managerial moves, poor defense and a huge letdown at the end. In all, it led to the third-worst Giants...

Kind of a strange thing has happened in Oakland, where Billy Beane hasn’t just spent time overseeing Brad Pitt’s visor-wearing ability, he’s put together a surprisingly decent team. An injury-riddled, unbalanced and mostly ignored team, but a decent team nonetheless. Everyone knows...

Don’t mind Brian Sabean if you see him in a 7-11 buying Gatorade, Ibuprofen and Alka-Seltzer. Or if you see a haggard Bruce Bochy waiting in an In-N-Out drive-thru, his prodigious cranium resting against the driver’s side window. After a bender of a 6-game road trip against contending teams,...

Cody Ross, Brad Hawpe, Johnny Damon, Luis Gonzalez, Andre Dawson….is there an outfielder the Giants don’t have interest in? Not sure what the plan is here, but if Aaron Rowand’s gamer status means he gets at least a couple starts a week, Nate Schierholtz will be Mike Murphy’s assistant...

You have to think we’re in for at least another year or two of having Brian Sabean as the general manager of the San Francisco Giants, increasing to what is already the longest tenure of any active GM in Major League Baseball. Aubrey Huff was signed before this season for far below what his market...

I really, really do. Ever since sports talk radio changed the way we talk, whine, yell and bitch about sports, criticism is the only real way to get your point across anymore. Ask anybody who’s making a good living in this crazy business. If you talk about how great everything is all the time,...

This isn’t an original pet peeve, but it’s a pet peeve nonetheless. I hate it when people call sports talk radio and bring up trades without any thought whatsoever to why the other team would make the trade. You know, the whole, “The Giants should get a guy like Miguel Cabrera. You...

When Henry Schulman let it be known that “top Royals talent evaluator is in the house” this evening, an obvious question popped into mind. No, not “why am I still at work?” OK, maybe that thought did enter into the equation. But as I headed toward the elevator, the question switched...

Brian Wilson sure threw a nice 1-2-3 inning in the All Star Game last night, huh? Alright, well I think that’s just about enough ASG chatter. OK, maybe not. You probably heard that Tim Lincecum failed to make yesterday morning’s Red Carpet parade because, as he said, he “ran into a communication...

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...
