Happy, um, Lincecum Day?

Happy, um, Lincecum Day?...
After two weather-related posts last week, I promise not to obsess over another, milder heat wave in San Francisco that’s supposed to start tomorrow. Talking about the weather usually means you don’t know what else to talk about, and I really don’t want anyone to think the author of...

Can we end this “batting second, Buster Posey” charade now?

Forget In-N-Out and Alka Seltzer; the best cure for a hangover is actually a bunch of multiple-hit games throughout the lineup. Another remedy is the kind of pitching performance everyone around here can’t wait to take for granted, but have actually been pretty rare from the Giants’ first...

Photo shoot proves Andre Ethier is a wookie

First Kobe Bryant, now Andre Ethier. From now on, any Los Angeles athlete who gets a call from LA Times Magazine asking about potential photo shoots should hang up the phone faster than I do when I get automated phone calls from political candidates asking for votes on election day. While LAT Magazine...

I really, really do. Ever since sports talk radio changed the way we talk, whine, yell and bitch about sports, criticism is the only real way to get your point across anymore. Ask anybody who’s making a good living in this crazy business. If you talk about how great everything is all the time,...

Time to play GM

There are different ways to write/blog about the rosterbatory practice of obsessing over the trade deadline: 1. Read and respond to every trade rumor, now matter how nonsensical or the source involved. “Oh snap! Chris Rose just said the Giants are interested in Albert Pujols. I might even give...

Working for the weekend

Working for the weekend...
Well, kind of a crazy day on top of a crazy week. I was like Larry Riley or Robert Rowell today, as my manager at work (yes, I have a real job) “resigned.” Quotation marks because everyone “resigns” where I work, although we know that a majority of the time they were fired or...

Lincecum and Sandoval prove why Brian Sabean loves veterans

Lincecum and Sandoval prove why Brian Sa...
Brian Wilson sure threw a nice 1-2-3 inning in the All Star Game last night, huh? Alright, well I think that’s just about enough ASG chatter. OK, maybe not. You probably heard that Tim Lincecum failed to make yesterday morning’s Red Carpet parade because, as he said, he “ran into a communication...

Torture? Try really, really annoying

Fire Bochy. Fire Sabean. Fire Meulens. Fire Kelly. Fire Sandoval. Fire Molina. Fire Renteria. Fire Rowand. Fire Seal. No, we can’t. This is the bunch we’re stuck with. Before the season started that wasn’t exactly okay, but the current cast of characters was at least tolerable to most...

Tim Lincecum’s mission: become Greg Maddux

I’m hardly the first person to compare the Giants’ starting rotation to the 1990′s Braves. But at this point, it’s too obvious to ignore. Forgive me, because I’m going to perform the sports equivalent of going into “Sex And The City” mode (can you believe that...

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...
