The time my buddy puked on a cop’s shoe

Since it’s almost Bay To Breakers time, how about a little drinking story? OK, good. I thought you’d like one. I wouldn’t say that baseball and beer go hand in hand, but people actually pay $8 for a 12 oz can of Pabst Blue Ribbon at AT&T Park. Sorry if you’re tired of me mentioning...

Most overused cliches in sports

Most overused cliches in sports...
Announcers, talking heads, sportswriters and even the athletes and coaches are a lazy lot. Sure, they travel more than the average person, and some of them actually put a lot of hours into honing their craft. But that doesn’t stop a goodly portion of them from repeating the same bits of wisdom...

Why Mike Vick won’t get the Barry ...
For those wondering or even hoping Mike Vick will face the same type of job market after being reinstated today by the NFL that Barry Bonds did in 2008 (or the average person does after losing their job these days), don’t hold your breath.

Diamond on the Hill...
Although you probably didn’t read one word about it, last Wednesday was a momentous day for liberal baseball lovers. For the first time in 10 years, the Democrats beat the Republicans in the annual congressional baseball game. The final score? 15-10. On the roster for California were Duncan Hunter...

MLBM: Odds stacked against Giants tonigh...
When you watch the San Francisco Giants long enough, you notice things. Like how it’s not a real Giants rally unless at least one wild pitch, infield single or throwing error is prominently involved. Or that there are certain games the Giants just never seem to win. Tonight’s game against...

MLB Monday: Donald “Eric Cartman” Fehr, good riddance

I don’t know who Michael Weiner is. I’ve never seen him, heard him speak and anyone reading this probably hasn’t either. It doesn’t matter. Weiner is replacing Donald Fehr as the head of the Major League Baseball Players Association, and he can’t possibly be worse a worse...

Sorry about the weird and/or insensitive headline, but my advisers tell me that any post that gets the attention of PETA receives hundreds of extra page views. For those animal-rights activists hoping for a description of a panda autopsy that can spark protests from San Francisco to Beijing, it’s...

MLB Monday: Aurilia buys some time...
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:

Quietly, Tim Lincecum is better than ever

Sports Illustrated recently called Zack Greinke the best pitcher in the game. Johan Santana’s dominance is again paying dividends. Teammate Matt Cain has a better record and a lower ERA. It seems insane to say the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner is flying under the radar, but that’s...

At a Loss for Words

At a Loss for Words...
Last October, Fox hosted the World Series, as they have for the past few years. As Philadelphia took on Tampa Bay, we were subjected to Joe Buck’s and Tim McCarver’s analysis of each play–that is, until we decided to mute the TV and turn on the radio broadcast of the same game. Sure,...
