Sports doesn’t stop on holidays, it just gets harder to record. Let me explain: when you’re at the house of one or both of your parents, the maximum amount of times you can ask for something to be recorded on their DVR is once per trip. Our one request was that my dad tape the Washington/LSU...

We Bay Area fans are an optimistic lot, we really are. Sure, there’s a good deal of whining that goes on, but you’d hear that in any large media market forced to deal with the volume of mediocrity we’ve been saddled with over the past 15 years. But when Michael Crabtree — only...

Sanchy-squared soars superbly
Sanchy-squared soars superbly...
I’m usually not much for alliterative headlines, but Sanchy-squared was super-sweet tonight! Wait, I almost did it again. I think I’m delusional after seeing back-to-back homers and Jonathan Sanchez walking off the mound after every inning looking as if he had just watched Team America: World...

Tim Lincecum’s first All-Star Game: Meh
Tim Lincecum’s first All-Star Game...
Nobody is beyond getting the jitters. Not even Tim Lincecum, at least when it comes to the first time doing something. I don’t have the stats on his first starts in high school, UW or in the minors, but the guy did give up 5 ER in 4.1 innings in his first start with the Giants. He only pitched...

When I woke up (admittedly late) this morning, the first thing I had to do was check the computer. Did Jonathan Sanchez, a talented lefty who’s been so inconsistent enough to make the Shawn Estes Era look positively rock-solid by comparison, really come within one Juan Uribe error of a perfect...

There’s so many things to go over from this past weekend that my head is spinning. Or maybe it’s all the bacon-wrapped dates filled with manchego cheese I ate yesterday (thanks, Mom). Along with the copious amounts of ham I consumed during yesterday’s Easter lunch, I’d say over...

Giants release Dave Roberts
Giants release Dave Roberts...
In a move that must have brought a mixture of humility and embarrassment for both of the protagonists involved, Brian Sabean released Dave Roberts today. No one’s going to cry about this, except perhaps the misguided souls who worry about things like the Giants’ budget and how player personnel...

Jon Miller for Giants Manager!!!...
The last thing I heard before walking on BART was Jon Miller doing what he might do best: throwing subtle digs at someone while on the radio.It was the first inning of the Giants/D-Backs game, and Ray Durham was on first base. Aaron Rowand hit a single, and Durham must have jogged to second base slower...
