San Francisco Giants: a streaky team that isn't streaky
After winning 20 of their last 29 games, the San Francisco Giants are by themselves in first place. The entire pitching staff seems to be peaking at the same time, everything about the offense is aggressive, and on defense they’ve gone from cringeworthy to competent over the span of less than a month. They’ve done […]

Giants survive (again) without Buster Posey, win 8-0
Since it was obvious to anyone who can count that Santiago Casilla wouldn’t enter Monday night’s series opener against the Dodgers under any circumstances, the only thing for people to question (translation: bitch about incessantly) was why Buster Posey was on the bench. Posey was the lone offensive force of note on Sunday and had […]

Giants sweep Saturday’s doubleheader … what do you mean, ‘only one game’?
The San Francisco Giants, thanks to Duane Kuiper and an extremely eager marketing team, have overused the word “torture.” It’s time to hand that word to the A’s, at least for a week or two, because they’ve been tormented by this series. Oakland had this game. Shane Loux (who lately has made the Giants miss […]

Top 10 San Francisco Giants surprises (so far)
We arrived in San Diego on Thursday, and we’re heading to L.A. today and will stay there until Thursday. As always, I feel weird when I’m out of town and can’t watch (almost) every pitch of every San Francisco Giants game — so it’s really going to be an adjustment in July when my wife […]

And the winners of two pairs of Giants tickets are…
There was a game last night, and from all accounts a pretty good one. I didn’t see it because I’m in San Diego, where I parked my car at Qualcomm Stadium at 6 am this morning to try to find my wife so I could cheer her on while she ran a half-marathon. After getting […]
