Pitch counts and Madison Bumgarner
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in Barry Zito, Bruce Bochy, Jonathan Sanchez, Madison Bumgarner, Mike Krukow, San Francisco Giants, Tim Lincecum on 08 26th, 2010 | 3 Comments
Pitch counts and Madison Bumgarner...
Mike Krukow said it on Friday night when Madison Bumgarner got strike one against Albert Pujols in their last battle, a lively confrontation that resulted in Pujols hitting a home run to center and ending Bumgarner’s night in the 8th inning: if the Giants make the playoffs, Bumgarner would be one...

Did Krukow really call Zito a clown?

Did Krukow really call Zito a clown?...
Mike Krukow should know better. Every time he opens up his mouth and calls somebody a clown, there have been repercussions. The first time it was Damon Bruce, and that caused the biggest Giants vs. KNBR evening host battle since Felipe Alou used to nod off next to the bat rack. I wasn’t even sure...

The best game and Tim Lincecum pitch of the year
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in Aaron Rowand, Bruce Bochy, Buster Posey, Don Mattingly, Jeremy Affeldt, Los Angeles Dodgers, Matt Kemp, Mike Krukow, Pablo Sandoval, San Francisco Giants, Tim Lincecum on 07 20th, 2010 | 3 Comments
The best game and Tim Lincecum pitch of ...
It all started when Tim Lincecum decided that if he wasn’t going to get the win, or even have much of a chance of seeing the sixth inning, he was going to still make his mark. The mark would be circular, about 3.5 inches in diameter, preferably with two distinct lines of stitches, and hopefully...

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...

Giants looking gamey, gritty and … cocky?

Giants looking gamey, gritty and …...
The Giants like veterans, because they share two qualities. They taste gamey and gritty (like squab or quail gizzards), and their fact status as gritty gamers has actually rankled quite a few fans over the last five playoff-free seasons. The Giants just swept an awful team this afternoon (a 100-loss...

Scot McCloughan and Larry Riley, delusio...
It’s a world of turmoil around here these days, in the form of missing, mediocre and inevitable transactions. Let’s take a look, shall we? First a warning: these links aren’t for the faint of heart…or are things really not that bad? See for yourself:

I don’t practice Renteria…

I don’t practice Renteria…...
I need something to complain about, so do you. The Giants! They swing at the first pitch all the time! F-POM! F-POM! F-POM! That new phrase? Pretty lame, sure, but it’s all I heard this morning, because I listened to Mac and Murph while driving throughout the beauty that is Northern California. Actually,...

Lincecum wins, Lincepom gets robbed

Lincecum wins, Lincepom gets robbed...
You got to hand it to the Giants’ marketing team. Not like it’s really hard to sell tickets to a Tim Lincecum game anyway, but you just know it has to warm the cockles of Larry Baer’s heart to know that approximately 650 of the 42,694 tickets sold to tonight’s game were purchased...

Giants’ magic number is now 6

Giants’ magic number is now 6...
One down, only six to go. Sometimes a man needs to stake his reputation on a completely irrational prediction, and here’s mine: if the San Francisco Giants win seven of the thirteen games they play against the Colorado Rockies, they’ll finish ahead of the Rockies in the final standings. Whether...

Appreciating Tim Lincecum...
There’s a lot of things to complain about when it comes to the San Francisco Giants, historically speaking. Just mention “complain” and “Giants” in the same sentence, and any fan’s brain will become a series of flashing mental pictures featuring Jose Cruz, Jr., Scott...
