LaRoche would actually make the Giants halfway decent
LaRoche would actually make the Giants h...
It looks like Adam LaRoche will be in the orange and black. Of course, whether it’s the Giants or the Orioles is anyone’s guess. Reports are that LaRoche turned down an offer of 2 years/$17 million from the Giants, and no other team besides those two odd bedfellows are even halfway interested...

Madison Bumgarner, inning by inning

First inning: Duane Kuiper says if you put your hand on Madison Bumgarner’s chest, it would vibrate. I guess Kuip’s talking about your hand, although I guess it could work both ways. You’d have to imagine that would be true, although you couldn’t tell by looking at the kid. He’s...

Odd man out: Renteria or IshiGarko?
Odd man out: Renteria or IshiGarko?...
Freddy Sanchez will be back either tomorrow or Monday, and not a moment too soon. The Giants could explode for 10 runs today on national television against Yovani Gallardo, but that doesn’t erase the fact that they’ve scored 5 runs in the first 4 games of their current road trip. The lineup...

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...

Since the last two games for the Giants have been long and bitter, I’m going to make this one short and sweet…

I need something to complain about, so do you. The Giants! They swing at the first pitch all the time! F-POM! F-POM! F-POM! That new phrase? Pretty lame, sure, but it’s all I heard this morning, because I listened to Mac and Murph while driving throughout the beauty that is Northern California. Actually,...

What the Giants’ lineup should be
What the Giants’ lineup should be...
Ah, baseball. The smell of grass, hot dogs and garlic fries in the air…and the chance to whine about Bruce Bochy’s lineup every day on Extra Baggs and McCovey Chronicles. I’ve never really done it, since I’ve never commented on Baggs’ site and most of my commentary on McCoven...

It’s time for the Giants to lower beer prices

We all knew it was true, and now we have proof. The Giants charge more for one beer ($8.75) than any team in baseball. According to a “fan cost index” from Team Marketing Report, the 20-oz brews at AT&T Park are 75 cents more than the second-most expensive park, which surprisingly is...

What I’m about to write either proves my amazingness as a fan or indicts me for being exactly the type of Bay Area fan (or boyfriend of a Bay Area fan) that fits all the bad stereotypes: when the Freddy Sanchez trade was announced, I was driving my girlfriend to an arts and crafts store in Colma....

What did Brian Sabean expect?
What did Brian Sabean expect?...
This isn’t the first time Brian Sabean has vented publicly about the ineptitude of his players, but it might be one of the last. Yesterday, after the Giants finished off one of their weakest offensive road trips since Candlestick Park had Astroturf, Sabean was downright ageist, courtesy of Andrew...
