The Good and Bad of Oktoberfest...
Good: Getting off work early on Wednesday evening (sort of); walking with my girlfriend to the stadium; getting a pretty awesome Giants Dasboot stein that shockingly didn’t feature any logos from some brand like Geico or Cialis; drinking a free beer along with four others in roughly 52 minutes...

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...

On your mark, get set, panic!...
“I miss the comfort in being sad.” -Kurt Cobain The Giants have started their difficult road trip 1-3, and have fallen to second place in the Wild Card standings and third place in the National League West. Their bullpen looked worse last night against the Braves than it has all year. The...

Giants’ hitters auditioning for th...
You know how when teams fire their head coach/manager midway through a season, and the guy who replaces him is labeled an “interim” coach/manager? The job then becomes a daily audition, hoping that the performance given is good enough to prevent the team from going after a more well-known,...

Juan Uribe should be the Giants’ starter at 2B

Juan Uribe should be the Giants’ s...
The move was widely panned at the time as another attempt at recapturing a veteran’s lost youth, but Brian Sabean struck gold when he signed Juan Uribe to a minor league contract before the season. OK, maybe not gold, but at least tungsten, or perhaps even bronze or silver. And we all know how...

Everyone really trusts Larry Riley…What am I missing here?

Everyone really trusts Larry Riley…...
I don’t know why I like mock drafts so much. Their usefulness and/or accuracy usually get squashed by the time the draft starts, if not before. Especially in the NBA, where the general managers aren’t afraid to make trades based on a whim (or a friendly relationship with another GM they used...

MLB Monday: Aurilia buys some time...
Were you one of those people who smiled and cringed at the same time when Rich Aurilia hit that home run yesterday? Giant fans will take tie-breaking home runs anytime they can get them, but check out these reactions from McCovey Chronicles today after Aurilia’s first homer of the season:

4 hits for the A’s, 4 hot dogs for me

I’d never even come close to seeing a no-hitter in person, but if I were to see anyone pull it off it would have to be Tim Wakefield. I’ve only been to about 100 major league games in my life, and I’ve seen the world’s last effective knuckleballer pitch roughly 84 times. OK, maybe...

Will the Giants really keep six outfield...
It’s official: Rich Aurilia’s KNBR workload just increased by at least 100%. Kevin Frandsen has been optioned to Triple-A Fresno, and Bruce Bochy threw out a 25-man roster to the beat reporters today that’s part inspired, part frightening. The nuttiest portion of the Opening Day lineup...
