Giants sign Aubrey Huff…3 years to...
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...

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...

Schierholtz waits for his shot in S.F....
I felt like today was a perfect time to re-release this old vintage story, a feature I wrote about Nate Schierholtz back in May of 2007. The headline above is the same one used in the now-defunct Danville Times, the weekly insert in The Contra Costa Times that I used to write for, and I found it rather...

SF Giants Opening Day Journal: Part 2...
4:45: After driving through the streets of San Francisco, picking up SGL and driving to Luckerson’s (Lucky’s + Albertson’s since they can’t make up their minds) for Excedrin, my coverage of Opening Day has been spotty in the later innings.

Giants release Dave Roberts...
In a move that must have brought a mixture of humility and embarrassment for both of the protagonists involved, Brian Sabean released Dave Roberts today. No one’s going to cry about this, except perhaps the misguided souls who worry about things like the Giants’ budget and how player personnel...

The return of Patty and other non-Warner...
In case you missed it, it’s March now, which means college basketball finally matters! I have to admit, I started out this season like a college basketball-loving freight train. I was doing updates on all the local teams, even ranking them. Then Patty Mills broke his hand at Gonzaga, and my college...

Live, From AT&T Park…Your Oak...
While the San Francisco Giants were across the continent losing two games to the Florida Marlins, I was sitting in right field watching the Oakland A’s complete their sweep of the Boston Red Sox at the Coliseum. Wouldn’t Bay Area baseball be a little more interesting if the team with the...

Powerless Giants on Pace to Match Expect...
The San Francisco Giants have completed one-tenth of their season, and they’re 6-10 — right on pace to lose 100 games. “On pace” often can lead to some ridiculous suggestions, like Barry Zito’s on pace to go 0-35 (0-33 is probably more like it). But from this small sample...

When Knee Surgery Isn’t Necessari...
After hitting .118 so far this season, Dave Roberts is going to have surgery on his left knee, leading to a rehab process that could last several months.   You could call it a blessing it disguise, but that would be an insult to disguises everywhere. Sure, that may sound callous, but even more so...

Opening Day – We Knew it was Comin...
Yesterday morning I took my bike out and cruised around the city, early enough so I wouldn’t miss the Giants face the Dodgers on Opening Day. I had baseball on the brain, and I found myself riding along the Embarcadero to AT&T Park. Once I got there, I rolled around the perimeter before turning...
