I wish I could criticize Sabean…

I wish I could criticize Sabean…...
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,...

It’s Pat! (See ya later, John Bowker)

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...

Giants shuffle the dreck

Don’t get it twisted, my last post wasn’t a call for the Giants to pick up Pat Burrell. He can’t field, he’s already made his money for the season and (most importantly) hasn’t contributed anything positive to a baseball team since Ryan Garko was an up-and-coming patient...

Predicting Sabean’s inevitable reactionary move
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in Bengie Molina, Brian Sabean, Buster Posey, Fred Lewis, Jermaine Dye, John Bowker, Jonathan Sanchez, Mark DeRosa, Matt Cain, Pat Burrell, San Francisco Giants on 05 22nd, 2010 | 4 Comments
Predicting Sabean’s inevitable rea...
There’s no way the Giants’ offensive struggles will keep going on like this, at least not with this group of players. John Bowker may or may not know this (he probably does), but this weekend is a sort of final tryout for him. If he wants to avoid a Fred Lewis-style banishment — and...

My baseball weakend

My baseball weakend...
Yeah, that’s right. “Weakend.” I did a Giants vs. A’s taste test, and I’m still looking for a third choice. Bad luck, to be sure. Saturday we went to the Coliseum and witnessed a 6-1 Cleveland Indians win with about 5,000 season ticket holders and the Indians’ friends...

Giants aren’t unlucky, they’re old

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...

A’s vs. Giants, position by position (Part 1)

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...

OK Sabes, which old outfielder will it be?

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....
