It’s Pat! (See ya later, John Bowker)

He’s a local guy, grew up near Santa Cruz and went to Bellarmine. Even though he’s from pretty much the same area and has been infinitely more successful in the Majors, Pat Burrell just isn’t getting the same love Kevin Frandsen did when he was a whiny little Giants farmhand. OK, that’s...

Predicting Sabean’s inevitable reactionary move
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in Bengie Molina, Brian Sabean, Buster Posey, Fred Lewis, Jermaine Dye, John Bowker, Jonathan Sanchez, Mark DeRosa, Matt Cain, Pat Burrell, San Francisco Giants on 05 22nd, 2010 | 4 Comments
Predicting Sabean’s inevitable rea...
There’s no way the Giants’ offensive struggles will keep going on like this, at least not with this group of players. John Bowker may or may not know this (he probably does), but this weekend is a sort of final tryout for him. If he wants to avoid a Fred Lewis-style banishment — 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...

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....

Giants aren’t unlucky, they’re old

Now that the San Francisco Giants’ offense has been exposed for the house of cards we all hoped it wasn’t but were pretty sure it was before the season started, we’re back to square one. Which means everyone panics, throws up their hands and offers a bunch of insane ideas that make...

A’s vs. Giants, position by position (Part 1)

A’s vs. Giants, position by positi...
One team says there’s “magic inside,” and the other team, well, they have pretty funny commercials (sigh). Regardless, the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland A’s tell their respective stories in wildly different ways. One is a big money, big media team in a nice stadium, and...

Lincecum’s the dessert after “piecemeal” offseason

After a winter in which the Giants heard their fans’ wishes for a tropical vacation or a luxury car and answered those requests with a few nondescript household appliances, they finally made a splash by doing what we all knew they would: sign Tim Lincecum to a tidy little “stay of arbitration”...

LaRoche would actually make the Giants halfway decent

It looks like Adam LaRoche will be in the orange and black. Of course, whether it’s the Giants or the Orioles is anyone’s guess. Reports are that LaRoche turned down an offer of 2 years/$17 million from the Giants, and no other team besides those two odd bedfellows are even halfway interested...

OK Sabes, which old outfielder will it be?

Now that the Giants have added Juan Uribe and Mark DeRosa to Bruce Bochy’s Swiss Army infield, where the only thing that doesn’t change from day to day is the sight of Edgar Renteria reminding all of us that we’re all going to see a day when we get old and our range sinks far below...

The most important game of the year for the Warriors…No, seriously

The Warriors are playing the second game of what seemed like a cruel joke of a back-to-back when the schedule was released, a road game against the Lakers after facing the Celtics at home. The game takes place in about an hour, and it’s not crazy to say this is the Warriors’ most important...
