BASG gets its first critique
BASG gets its first critique...
Thanks to some Google Alerts wizardry from my lovely fiance Sports Girl Liz, we found out that not only is there a new SB Nation Bay Area site, but they’re the first media outlet to fully dissect my “5 Things the Warriors can do” post from a couple days ago, passage by passage. Or any...

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...

I can’t concentrate on work. The same work that has caused my writing on this site to become as sporadic as two consecutive made three-pointers from Ron Artest. Game 7 is less than six hours away, and I couldn’t be more nervous. You see, for those of you who haven’t been reading every...

NBA Action, it’s Make-Uptastic!
NBA Action, it’s Make-Uptastic!...
You’d think for a bunch of guys who are supposed to be the best in the world at their jobs, they’d be better at getting things right the first time. And now, through the trials and tribulations of the 2002 Lakers/Kings series, the ’07 Suns/Spurs series and Tim Donaghy, we expect mediocrity. Is...

Lakers! Celtics! It’s the 2010 NBA Finals Preview!
Lakers! Celtics! It’s the 2010 NBA...
Think about this series long enough, and you’ll get twisted up in your own thoughts. For as long as we can remember, writers and TV analysts have been given one job every NBA Finals: pick the supposed “x-factor.” Maybe you could say the same thing about every NBA Finals, but this series...

The matchup that will determine the NBA Finals
The matchup that will determine the NBA ...
While both the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers bring back teams to the 2010 NBA Finals that are relatively intact compared to the squads that met two years ago, there are some modest differences. Some people have gone from feisty upstarts to content veterans, some have a chip on their shoulder...

Quit squirrelin’ around!
Quit squirrelin’ around!...
The title of this post used to be my junior high P.E. coach’s favorite expression. If we didn’t line up along the baseline for roll call: QUIT SQUIRRELIN’ AROUND! If we were loud in the locker room: QUIT SQUIRRELIN’ AROUND! If we interrupted him with a question while he was flirting...

Giants shuffle the dreck
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...

You ever have people ask you sports questions that are impossible to answer? If I had a dollar for how many times my fiance walked into the living room, looked at the score and said, “What’s the matter with the Giants?” I’d have enough money to buy a 6-pack of PBR at AT&T...

NBA Tuesday: Should the Lakers sit Bynum?
NBA Tuesday: Should the Lakers sit Bynum...
NBA Tuesday used to be a regular feature around these parts, and then I finally got a job after a year of freelancing and unemployment checks, and my over-ambitious power-rankings-and-other-NBA-stuff feature became too high of a mountain to climb week after week. In other words, writing such a long post...
