Weekend Roundup: Part 2: Buster Posey’s “nickname”
Weekend Roundup: Part 2: Buster Posey...
Marty Lurie is a Godsend on the weekends. Last night’s traffic jam we slogged through would have been downright impossible to handle without him. And I know that if you’re on the radio for 10 hours a day, you need to come up with topics. That said, stop trying to come up with nicknames for...

Did Krukow really call Zito a clown?
Did Krukow really call Zito a clown?...
Mike Krukow should know better. Every time he opens up his mouth and calls somebody a clown, there have been repercussions. The first time it was Damon Bruce, and that caused the biggest Giants vs. KNBR evening host battle since Felipe Alou used to nod off next to the bat rack. I wasn’t even sure...

Udoh? More like Who-doh! Get it?
Udoh? More like Who-doh! Get it?...
Seeing as I’ve been calling Ekpe Udoh a “poor man’s Serge Ibaka” for a week now, I can’t say the Warriors totally whiffed yesterday. Golden State doesn’t have one guy on their roster (besides maybe Kelenna Azubuike) who’s a consistent defender and rebounder....

Monday roundup: a left fielder scorned
Monday roundup: a left fielder scorned...
There are three types of baseball fans. Those who completely ignore sabermetrics, those who base their entire set of baseball opinions on sabermetrics, and those who decide who’s good based partly on advanced metrics and partly on what their eyes tell them when watching the games. I count myself...

Alright, we’re going to keep it light today. ADD time. Or is it ADHD time? Wait, what were we talking about again? Oh yeah, the Giants lineup.

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...

Everybody’s on the Internet. Everyone wants a piece of the pie. Nobody knows how the future is going to unfold, or how anybody’s going to make any money off the insatiable appetite we now have for two things above all others: information and free stuff. And not in that order. Nobody wants...

Until last night’s exercise in catharsis against the vaunted San Diego Padres, people wracked their brains. How could the Giants lose and lose against San Diego? Not just this year, but last season, when the Pads’ record was as crappy as everyone thought it’d be. Was it bad luck? Do...

Cleveland’s last chance, and Giant...
No pressure, guys. You’re only fighting for the future of the city of Cleveland, professional sports in Ohio and world peace. Because if LeBron James can’t rally his band of teammates who worked their asses off all year while looking forward to the tough games where they could sit back and...

Mark DeRosa foils his own master plan
Mark DeRosa foils his own master plan...
By all accounts, Mark DeRosa’s a really smart guy. Not baseball player smart, either. He’s an Ivy Leaguer, extremely well spoken and by all accounts an incredible teammate. As such, he came to the same conclusion many of us smart people come to (shut up!): he wanted to make the full-time...
