Leaving Ross in RF wasn’t Bochy’s biggest mistake
Leaving Ross in RF wasn’t Bochy...
For a game where we got to watch Jonathan Sanchez carve up the Rockies for eight innings, that was one terrible game to sit in the stands and watch last night. Terrible offense, several head-scratching managerial moves, poor defense and a huge letdown at the end. In all, it led to the third-worst Giants...

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...

Don’t mind Brian Sabean if you see him in a 7-11 buying Gatorade, Ibuprofen and Alka-Seltzer. Or if you see a haggard Bruce Bochy waiting in an In-N-Out drive-thru, his prodigious cranium resting against the driver’s side window. After a bender of a 6-game road trip against contending teams,...

Cody Ross, Brad Hawpe, Johnny Damon, Luis Gonzalez, Andre Dawson….is there an outfielder the Giants don’t have interest in? Not sure what the plan is here, but if Aaron Rowand’s gamer status means he gets at least a couple starts a week, Nate Schierholtz will be Mike Murphy’s assistant...

No matter how slow the news day, or how fast for that matter, the media absolutely loves it when athletes or coaches guarantee victory. It’s the absolute height of lazy journalism, complete with heavy usage of the phrase “bulletin board material” and obligatory mentions of Joe Namath. Jonathan...

You know what they say: you never want to get in a home-run hitting contest with the San Francisco Giants. What’s going on here? Did we really watch last night’s game and end up surprised that Edgar Renteria didn’t come through, that he struck out to end the game? Even Aaron Rowand’s...

When Henry Schulman let it be known that “top Royals talent evaluator is in the house” this evening, an obvious question popped into mind. No, not “why am I still at work?” OK, maybe that thought did enter into the equation. But as I headed toward the elevator, the question switched...

Thanks to some Google Alerts wizardry from my lovely fiance Sports Girl Liz, we found out that not only is there a new SB Nation Bay Area site, but they’re the first media outlet to fully dissect my “5 Things the Warriors can do” post from a couple days ago, passage by passage. Or any...

In the age of instant information and access, it’s curious that all we seem to want to do is reassert that something we already knew is true. I blame Dennis Green, whose “They are who we thought they were” rant is probably the most well-known and oft-quoted coach’s rant, besides...

Hey Giants: Get a leadoff hitter!
Hey Giants: Get a leadoff hitter!...
Wow, that was exciting. Talk about our lives changing after the Giants braintrust got together to fix the offensive woes. Yep, we’re moving players around, getting impact veteran infielders back from the DL, things will change just watch… I feel like I’m having a flashback. There’s...
