Spending other people’s money
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...

It’s the time of year when you’re supposed to forget your problems. Don’t have a job? At least you have your health. Don’t have much money in your bank account? At least you have a roof over your head. Don’t have a good team to root for in your Greater Metro Area? At least...

Cha, stoney quality start brah!...
One of the main cliches of the past couple decades has been that 80% of NBA players are stoners. Could be true. Wouldn’t really surprise any of us, I’d imagine. But this Tim Lincecum should shed light on the group of athletes who either rival or surpass Michael Beasley in toking terms: MLB...

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:

I told myself I gave up on the 2009 baseball season a few days ago, but it still killed me (and more of you than you’d like to admit) when Jeff Baker went yard off Brian Wilson to give him the dreaded loss/blown save double-play tonight. Season over. You want the fork? I have it. It’s going...

“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 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...

It wasn’t like Ubaldo Jimenez wasn’t up to the challenge. Next year Jimenez will become the first member of the Colorado Rockies I’ll have ever drafted in a fantasy baseball league (I’m banking on the fact that my buddies will forget I wrote this opening paragraph by the time...

NFL, ESPN behind the times with Twitter ...
With the NFL coming out this week and putting its collective foot/shield down on the whole Tweeting-athlete phenomenon, the dominant professional sports league in the United States took a step back towards the rest of the pack. Then the self-professed World Wide Leader in Sports did the same thing, with...

One down, only six to go. Sometimes a man needs to stake his reputation on a completely irrational prediction, and here’s mine: if the San Francisco Giants win seven of the thirteen games they play against the Colorado Rockies, they’ll finish ahead of the Rockies in the final standings. Whether...
