3.9K3Kyle Schwarber enjoyed Bone Thugs more than Jake Peavy would’ve liked
Jake Peavy is a Grateful Dead guy, and fans of the Grateful Dead and Bone Thugs in Harmony rarely mix. That’s one possible explanation for Peavy saying something to Cubs catcher/outfielder Kyle Schwarber on Sunday. More likely, Peavy just wanted the rookie to get in the danged batter’s box already, God bless it! Thanks to […]

2.7K1Giants starters answered some rotation questions this week
Just for fun, I’m going to write something that’ll piss off the Small Sample Size Police Dept. Because if you can’t piss off the uber-correctors, the people who get joy from being better at staring at numbers than everyone else and letting the world know, then what is the point in maintaining a regional sports […]

2.9K8Giants lose another player, lose 7-6 to D-Backs
The good news is that the soul of this team hasn’t vanished. This is the same group of fiery, talented players that we remember from October, and they gave Arizona a scare after falling behind 7-4. The bad news is a lot of these players have already gotten injured, and the questions about their starting […]

2.6K7Cain had MRI (forearm tightness), Giants skipping Peavy’s start tomorrow
The above photo shows Matt Cain before last year’s home opener. He was scheduled to start next Monday’s home opener against the Rockies, but that is very much in doubt after today’s bad news.

3.9K9San Francisco Giants Spring Training Portrait Day
Do you remember school portrait day? Mom yelling at you to comb your hair and tuck in your shirt. Maybe she even laid out a hideous new outfit for you to wear. For boys, it was something with a collar. Striped or plaid with a top button designed to cut off your windpipe. Corduroy pants. Maybe even […]

3.4K31Giants starting rotation contains many red flags
Pitchers and catchers report for spring training in 40 days and the San Francisco Giants’ starting rotation is full of red flags.

Giants free agent predictions that’ll look silly in a few days/weeks/months
Since the Giants used the Winter Meetings as an avenue to display the lighter side of Bobby Evans, but not as a time to restock their roster, one has to wonder when they’re going to do anything at all. We know they’ll do SOMETHING, but the question is which of two strategies they’ll employ. Will they outbid […]

3.1K13Giants’ free agent wish list: right-handed starting pitchers
If the Giants can’t sign their top target, Jon Lester, due to a bidding war that gets out of control or something else (like Lester’s Oakland stint souring him on the Bay Area), they might be forced to add a right-handed starter to bolster their rotation. Yes, even though that would give them just one […]
