Now that the Giants have added Juan Uribe and Mark DeRosa to Bruce Bochy’s Swiss Army infield, where the only thing that doesn’t change from day to day is the sight of Edgar Renteria reminding all of us that we’re all going to see a day when we get old and our range sinks far below...

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...

The adjustments Pablo Sandoval made in April and May to go from talented hacker to the guy who really should be called Tony Gwynn, Jr., instead of that lame outfielder in San Diego who broke up Tim Lincecum’s no-no. Somehow...

There’s a lot of things to complain about when it comes to the San Francisco Giants, historically speaking. Just mention “complain” and “Giants” in the same sentence, and any fan’s brain will become a series of flashing mental pictures featuring Jose Cruz, Jr., Scott...

Pablo Sandoval loses final All-Star vote...
If you cared enough to vote, you probably know by now that Shane Victorino piggy-backed the overwhelming celebrity of Brandon Inge en route to a win in the “Final Vote” All-Star thing over Pablo Sandoval. What, you’re surprised? Everyone knows the Bay Area cannot, will not, win anything...

Before we go through our first link dump in a while (hey, keep your “Dannon Activia” yogurt jokes to yourself), a few thoughts on baseball attendance. In Extra Baggs, Andrew Baggarly pondered the Giants’ low attendance, as “they failed to crack the 40,000 mark in any of the three...
