The Warriors are playing the second game of what seemed like a cruel joke of a back-to-back when the schedule was released, a road game against the Lakers after facing the Celtics at home. The game takes place in about an hour, and it’s not crazy to say this is the Warriors’ most important...
It’s the time of year when you’re supposed to forget your problems. Don’t have a job? At least you have your health. Don’t have much money in your bank account? At least you have a roof over your head. Don’t have a good team to root for in your Greater Metro Area? At least...
We’ve all seen this before. The 49ers were too mistake-prone, ineffective and just plain dumb this season when it counted.
They’re on their way to another 7-9 season, and that’s because when it doesn’t really matter anymore, the Niners will start to gel. They’ll beat one...
Kind of weird how this whole Michael Crabtree thing is going, isn’t it? Well, maybe not. The guy danced around the news cycle for a while, generated some interest for a couple weeks and scorn for a couple more. Then, when the 49ers showed they might not even need him to make the playoffs, the man...
The first step is to realize that we are no longer rooting and hoping for our idealized version of football — that being the 1980’s 49ers. No, my friends, we are rooting for the 1980’s Bears. And really, isn’t that almost better in a sense?
Good: Getting off work early on Wednesday evening (sort of); walking with my girlfriend to the stadium; getting a pretty awesome Giants Dasboot stein that shockingly didn’t feature any logos from some brand like Geico or Cialis; drinking a free beer along with four others in roughly 52 minutes...
I told myself I gave up on the 2009 baseball season a few days ago, but it still killed me (and more of you than you’d like to admit) when Jeff Baker went yard off Brian Wilson to give him the dreaded loss/blown save double-play tonight. Season over. You want the fork? I have it. It’s going...
Here’s how good the 49ers looked today: I’m just rarin’ to go, ready to pour a little pinot gris, eat some aged brie and complain about everything in Ninerland that isn’t going perfectly. I never acted this way during the Mike Nolan era. No, simply a game where the team didn’t...
Nothing’s better about writing a sports blog than the ability to put yourself out there months ahead of time by making predictions about an upcoming season. Why? Because by the time your prognosticating has been proven totally and utterly incorrect, you’ve already written 100 posts —...
Bay Area Sports Guy (BASG) started up in January of 2008. The goal in launching Bay Area Sports Guy was to provide relevant news to all Bay Area sports fans. Too often Bay Area sports stories take a back seat to the dominant East Coast sports news and the East Coast media outlets. Bay Area Sports Guy presents the story from the view of a Bay Area fan in a way that all Bay Area sports guys and girls can appreciate. Bay Area Sports Guy is the sports guy for all Bay Area sports guys.
