Billy Beane copies Sabean, then surpasse...
Kind of a strange thing has happened in Oakland, where Billy Beane hasn’t just spent time overseeing Brad Pitt’s visor-wearing ability, he’s put together a surprisingly decent team. An injury-riddled, unbalanced and mostly ignored team, but a decent team nonetheless. Everyone knows...

Getting ready for the weekend…...
You ever have people ask you sports questions that are impossible to answer? If I had a dollar for how many times my fiance walked into the living room, looked at the score and said, “What’s the matter with the Giants?” I’d have enough money to buy a 6-pack of PBR at AT&T...

“We don’t do much talking in the 209″

“We don’t do much talking in...
Well, it had to be something. No way the Oakland A’s could go on this year with one of the most anonymous decent teams in the history of baseball, in a stadium where only 20% of the concession stands operate during games and the only crowd noise comes from electronic noisemakers coming from some...

Welcome 19 new sites to the BASG blogrol...
An old boss was always fond of saying that all the hyperlinks, blogrolls, related widgets and all the other things you can click on these and other pages you read are what make the Internet the Internet, and not a book. Of course, she would also email us cat videos on YouTube every day and expect feedback,...

A new decade

A new decade...
Trust me, it’s knock on wood time. Knock on wood, formica, granite, steel, plastic, whatever’s around you. Because even reading this will implicate you, too. But … Aren’t you so glad we’re in the 2010′s? Forget politics, world affairs, natural disasters, Wall Street,...

I wanna be like Matt Maiocco

I wanna be like Matt Maiocco...
In news only shocking because it took so long, Matt Maiocco recently announced he was leaving the Press Democrat for other opportunities (cough … Comcast Bay Area … cough). What this means is he’s probably the latest local media personality to be swallowed up by the growing media empire...

My baseball weakend

My baseball weakend...
Yeah, that’s right. “Weakend.” I did a Giants vs. A’s taste test, and I’m still looking for a third choice. Bad luck, to be sure. Saturday we went to the Coliseum and witnessed a 6-1 Cleveland Indians win with about 5,000 season ticket holders and the Indians’ friends...

ADHD time, hold the Ritalin

Can’t remember a time like this, when every single Bay Area pro squad seemed relevant in some way or another. That doesn’t mean they’re all doing well, just that you can bring them up without seeming like a PR-person for the team you’re talking about. Let’s dive in, short...

A’s vs. Giants, position by positi...
One team says there’s “magic inside,” and the other team, well, they have pretty funny commercials (sigh). Regardless, the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland A’s tell their respective stories in wildly different ways. One is a big money, big media team in a nice stadium, and...

In sports, pessimism is your friend

In sports, pessimism is your friend...
One of my main philosophies in life is “don’t get your hopes up.” And I am absolutely maniacal in my attempts to keep my hopes at subpar levels. For instance, I’ll never jinx my favorite team, even if they have the most insurmountable lead in the history of insurmountable leads....
