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...

It seemed like everything was back to normal after yesterday’s uber-weirdness left us overheated and giddy. The city’s warmer than usual, but back to its normal windy self. The Giants had trouble scoring runs against Homer Bailey and the Reds once again looked like the best offensive team...

They’re all like this, aren’t they? Just another standard hot August day and night here in the city! Where baseballs soar from the yard in the evening like the stars shooting over our head through clear skies at night. Next to the gigantic full moon… I’m not into astrology (don’t...

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,...

Normally linksharing between blogs is pretty common and not really worth noting, but I’m not too jaded to admit I was flattered to get some love from a senior writer at the Worldwide Leader. Rob Neyer is an interesting guy, and that’s not just because he looks like a combination of Greg Kinnear...

The Giants are the hottest team in baseball right and … what’s that I hear? I that the sound of haters picking apart the team? Well, of course it is. Until the Giants finally win a World Series, the complaints will always drown out the praise (and let’s face it, even if they do win...

I really, really do. Ever since sports talk radio changed the way we talk, whine, yell and bitch about sports, criticism is the only real way to get your point across anymore. Ask anybody who’s making a good living in this crazy business. If you talk about how great everything is all the time,...

There are different ways to write/blog about the rosterbatory practice of obsessing over the trade deadline: 1. Read and respond to every trade rumor, now matter how nonsensical or the source involved. “Oh snap! Chris Rose just said the Giants are interested in Albert Pujols. I might even give...

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...
