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...

Pitch counts and Madison Bumgarner
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in Barry Zito, Bruce Bochy, Jonathan Sanchez, Madison Bumgarner, Mike Krukow, San Francisco Giants, Tim Lincecum on 08 26th, 2010 | 3 Comments
Pitch counts and Madison Bumgarner...
Mike Krukow said it on Friday night when Madison Bumgarner got strike one against Albert Pujols in their last battle, a lively confrontation that resulted in Pujols hitting a home run to center and ending Bumgarner’s night in the 8th inning: if the Giants make the playoffs, Bumgarner would be one...

Giants go on bender, wake up next to Cody Ross

Giants go on bender, wake up next to Cod...
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,...

Alright Sabean, prove me wrong again

Alright Sabean, prove me wrong again...
Remember back when Brian Sabean’s trades took everyone by surprise? I had no idea Matt Williams was on the block in 1997, or that the Giants were going to deal Darryl Hamilton to the Rockies for Ellis Burks (quietly one of the best trades the Giants have ever made) or send Armando Rios and Ryan...

The Bay Area, where nobody ever gets fired

The Bay Area, where nobody ever gets fir...
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...

In defense of Jonathan Sanchez

In defense of Jonathan Sanchez...
No matter how slow the news day, or how fast for that matter, the media absolutely loves it when athletes or coaches guarantee victory. It’s the absolute height of lazy journalism, complete with heavy usage of the phrase “bulletin board material” and obligatory mentions of Joe Namath. Jonathan...

Photo shoot proves Andre Ethier is a wookie

Photo shoot proves Andre Ethier is a woo...
First Kobe Bryant, now Andre Ethier. From now on, any Los Angeles athlete who gets a call from LA Times Magazine asking about potential photo shoots should hang up the phone faster than I do when I get automated phone calls from political candidates asking for votes on election day. While LAT Magazine...

I wish I could criticize Sabean…...
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,...

Did Krukow really call Zito a clown?
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in Barry Zito, Bruce Bochy, Damon Bruce, Gary Radnich, KNBR, Larry Baer, Mike Krukow, Ralph Barbieri, San Francisco Giants on 07 22nd, 2010 | 15 Comments
Did Krukow really call Zito a clown?...
Mike Krukow should know better. Every time he opens up his mouth and calls somebody a clown, there have been repercussions. The first time it was Damon Bruce, and that caused the biggest Giants vs. KNBR evening host battle since Felipe Alou used to nod off next to the bat rack. I wasn’t even sure...

The best game and Tim Lincecum pitch of the year

The best game and Tim Lincecum pitch of ...
It all started when Tim Lincecum decided that if he wasn’t going to get the win, or even have much of a chance of seeing the sixth inning, he was going to still make his mark. The mark would be circular, about 3.5 inches in diameter, preferably with two distinct lines of stitches, and hopefully...
