Normally linksharing between blogs is pretty common and not really worth noting, but I’m not too jaded to admit I was flattered to get some love from a senior writer at the Worldwide Leader. Rob Neyer is an interesting guy, and that’s not just because he looks like a combination of Greg Kinnear...

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,...

You know what they say: you never want to get in a home-run hitting contest with the San Francisco Giants. What’s going on here? Did we really watch last night’s game and end up surprised that Edgar Renteria didn’t come through, that he struck out to end the game? Even Aaron Rowand’s...

Thanks to some Google Alerts wizardry from my lovely fiance Sports Girl Liz, we found out that not only is there a new SB Nation Bay Area site, but they’re the first media outlet to fully dissect my “5 Things the Warriors can do” post from a couple days ago, passage by passage. Or any...

Fire Bochy. Fire Sabean. Fire Meulens. Fire Kelly. Fire Sandoval. Fire Molina. Fire Renteria. Fire Rowand. Fire Seal. No, we can’t. This is the bunch we’re stuck with. Before the season started that wasn’t exactly okay, but the current cast of characters was at least tolerable to most...

He’s a local guy, grew up near Santa Cruz and went to Bellarmine. Even though he’s from pretty much the same area and has been infinitely more successful in the Majors, Pat Burrell just isn’t getting the same love Kevin Frandsen did when he was a whiny little Giants farmhand. OK, that’s...

Hey Giants: Get a leadoff hitter!
Hey Giants: Get a leadoff hitter!...
Wow, that was exciting. Talk about our lives changing after the Giants braintrust got together to fix the offensive woes. Yep, we’re moving players around, getting impact veteran infielders back from the DL, things will change just watch… I feel like I’m having a flashback. There’s...

Now that the San Francisco Giants’ offense has been exposed for the house of cards we all hoped it wasn’t but were pretty sure it was before the season started, we’re back to square one. Which means everyone panics, throws up their hands and offers a bunch of insane ideas that make...

Giants looking gamey, gritty and … cocky?
Giants looking gamey, gritty and …...
The Giants like veterans, because they share two qualities. They taste gamey and gritty (like squab or quail gizzards), and their fact status as gritty gamers has actually rankled quite a few fans over the last five playoff-free seasons. The Giants just swept an awful team this afternoon (a 100-loss...

One team says there’s “magic inside,” and the other team, well, they have pretty funny commercials (sigh). Regardless, the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland A’s tell their respective stories in wildly different ways. One is a big money, big media team in a nice stadium, and...
