Unit hits DL, but at least Pablo Sandova...

It was about as depressing a scene as you can imagine. After 36 hours on a windy houseboat, and a 4th of July without fireworks, we tiredly drug our sunburned bodies into a 2006 Honda Accord that could have doubled as a hot air popcorn popper. Good and bad news on the radio — the Giants had followed...

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...

Not time to replace Sanchez yet…bu...

How much can the Giants get for Jonathan Sanchez now? A 36-year-old Triple-A designated hitter? A Costco box of assorted flavor sunflower seeds (mmm, BBQ)? The rights to Sammy Sosa’s 2003 drug testing sample? It’s amazing that everyone’s so ready to get rid of Sanchez, as if the rest...

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:

The Giants just keep winning series...

Last year, when the bullpen came in and a 5-4 lead became a 7-5 deficit, watching the last inning of a Giant game was about as entertaining as driving on the Bay Bridge during rush hour. And if you happened to be driving across the Bay Bridge in 2008 while listening to the Giants try to come back in...

Timmy and the Giants brighten a dreary d...

Days like today are what make baseball so cool. The ability to sit inside during a gray San Francisco day and catch the Giants playing at 11:30 am PDT in Chicago is like a burst of sunshine through the mist and fog. Watching early weekday games on TV isn’t quite as good as actually attending them,...

Yeah, but will he let Brian Urlacher spi...

In the 1995 NFL Draft, the defending Super Bowl Champion San Francisco 49ers traded a boatload of draft picks to the Cleveland Browns to move up to the No. 10 overall pick and select the wide receiver they coveted above all others (including Joey Galloway): J.J. Stokes. We make fun of the Raiders’...

OK Giants fans, good news first…...

Assuming the Giants go 1-1 in their next two games in Arizona (and with Tim Lincecum and Randy Johnson pitching, that doesn’t seem too far-fetched), they’ll be 7-9 through the first 10% of the season. That means they’re on pace to win around 70 games this season, a year after going...

Meet the new Giants, same as the old Gia...

The San Francisco Giants hit 94 home runs last year. Man, that sucked. The Giants’ offense was less powerful than a light draft beer at Mays Field in 2008, leading to a season that between Lincecum starts was about as exciting as watching a Colin Firth movie every night (sorry, I have to capitalize...

Bay Area Sports Guy (BASG) started up in January of 2008. The goal in launching Bay Area Sports Guy was to provide relevant news to all Bay Area sports fans. Too often Bay Area sports stories take a back seat to the dominant East Coast sports news and the East Coast media outlets. Bay Area Sports Guy presents the story from the view of a Bay Area fan in a way that all Bay Area sports guys and girls can appreciate. Bay Area Sports Guy is the sports guy for all Bay Area sports guys.
