10-Day roundup: Is Posey starting yet?
10-Day roundup: Is Posey starting yet?...
Well, I’m back from a week in Kauai, and man am I glad to be back in San Francisco. Does that sound believable? Because it’s a complete lie. Fog, street-poop and my job. Yeah, I’m really glad I’m not still in that tropical paradise. But that’s the last I’m going to...

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 great weekend to go ou...
In the age of instant information and access, it’s curious that all we seem to want to do is reassert that something we already knew is true. I blame Dennis Green, whose “They are who we thought they were” rant is probably the most well-known and oft-quoted coach’s rant, besides...

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...

Cleveland’s last chance, and Giant self-pity
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...

Braden, Buster and stolen cable...
I haven’t seen the Giants or A’s play in nearly a week on television, unless you count that replay I saw yesterday on the TV above the checkout area of my local overpriced boutique grocery store. I bought an apple tart yesterday to take to the Mother’s Day party, and it was delicious....

What a crazy, busy weekend. After you get engaged every weekend becomes sort of planned for you, and it takes skill (and, some would argue, a lack of perspective and an obsessive personality) to fit in all the sports you used to watch in a carefree and sometimes slovenly manner. Since if you’re...

In news only shocking because it took so long, Matt Maiocco recently announced he was leaving the Press Democrat for other opportunities (cough … Comcast Bay Area … cough). What this means is he’s probably the latest local media personality to be swallowed up by the growing media empire...

Why LeBron won’t repeat as MVP
Why LeBron won’t repeat as MVP...
Carmelo Anthony and Dirk Novitzki have obviously lost weight. Steve Nash has gained a little nastiness and a chip on his shoulder. Chris Bosh looks like he’s on his way to the contract year to end all contract years. And perhaps most importantly, Kobe Bryant studied post moves directly from the...

What came first, the Crabtree or the Bra...
The Jets were clearly interested in getting Michael Crabtree, and Eugene Parker probably told them it was a possibility this year. The fact that either party believed the other shows how idiotic both are (and shows why the Jets will probably fade after a hot start for the second season in a row), but...
