Everything sucks!
Everything sucks!...
Great Giants game today, a sweet 7-0 loss to Chris Volstad, some 6′8″ oaf I dropped from my fantasy team a month ago. It’s always nice to know that baseball teams don’t really care what happens as long as they have a series locked up. Two straight possible sweep-clinching games...

It’s pretty difficult to get too maudlin about how the Giants lost earlier tonight, which sounds weird since they lost on a walk-off homer in extra innings…to the Cardinals, no less. And this is coming from someone whose dad had World Series tickets in 1987 that went unused. You just don’t...

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:

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,...

(From the 2008 San Francisco Giants: Worst Case Scenario): Barry Zito gives up a grand slam in the first inning on opening day, leading to an 0-4 April. Gary Radnich temporarily damages his voice yelling about Zito on KNBR, leading to a two-week absence while he’s replaced by Mychael Urban and...

Last year at the beginning of Spring Training, when this website was in its infancy (as opposed to the mature, adult blog you see today…OK, OK, I understand laughing at that last statement, but spitting out your beverage for dramatic effect was total overkill), I wrote the 2008 San Francisco Giants:...

I feel bad for my girlfriend, because she’s going through sports heartbreak for the first time. She may disagree, because she’s rooted for different teams all her life, but never has she invested a part of herself for an entire season, falling in love with a team to the extent where their...

Now That’s Giants Baseball!...
One run scored on a Dodger error, the other on a sacrifice fly. Lincecum enters the game in the fourth inning, BEFORE an hour-plus rain delay. Rich Aurilia makes an error in the ninth inning on a slow grounder, but it doesn’t matter. The Giants finally have an extra-base hit, and more importantly...
