NL isn’t good enough for Giants fa...
Philadelphia radio host Howard Eskin came on with Brian Murphy this morning and delighted in tromping all over the San Francisco Giants and their fans. He started the needling by saying that what the Phillies do is beat bad teams, and they’ve been doing that very thing the past two days against...

If you all will excuse me, I’m going to channel Bill Simmons for a moment (and not just because of the name of this site, which originally was “thesportsguy.com” until I convinced my girlfriend that while I enjoyed the gesture, the new site she created for me needed to have a different...

On your mark, get set, panic!...
“I miss the comfort in being sad.” -Kurt Cobain The Giants have started their difficult road trip 1-3, and have fallen to second place in the Wild Card standings and third place in the National League West. Their bullpen looked worse last night against the Braves than it has all year. The...

San Francisco Giants second half preview...
The work Jonathan Sanchez did in the bullpen before throwing a no-hitter. The adjustments Pablo Sandoval made in April and May to go from talented hacker to the guy who really should be called Tony Gwynn, Jr., instead of that lame outfielder in San Diego who broke up Tim Lincecum’s no-no. Somehow...

Public Enemy No. 1: Charlie Manuel...
Are you kidding? Jayson Werth? I joked about this yesterday at McCovey Chronicles, but I didn’t really think Charlie Manuel would take Werth over Pablo Sandoval to replace Carlos Beltran. Alright Charlie, if you thought the fans in Philadelphia knew how to boo (and I don’t think Philly fans...

Pablo Sandoval loses final All-Star vote...
If you cared enough to vote, you probably know by now that Shane Victorino piggy-backed the overwhelming celebrity of Brandon Inge en route to a win in the “Final Vote” All-Star thing over Pablo Sandoval. What, you’re surprised? Everyone knows the Bay Area cannot, will not, win anything...

There’s so many things to go over from this past weekend that my head is spinning. Or maybe it’s all the bacon-wrapped dates filled with manchego cheese I ate yesterday (thanks, Mom). Along with the copious amounts of ham I consumed during yesterday’s Easter lunch, I’d say over...

Last year at the beginning of Spring Training, when this website was in its infancy (as opposed to the mature, adult blog you see today…OK, OK, I understand laughing at that last statement, but spitting out your beverage for dramatic effect was total overkill), I wrote the 2008 San Francisco Giants:...

Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Part 3: Secon...
Every fantasy baseball roster needs at least one second baseman, and the lucky owners who draft or trade for a productive one have a security blanket that in many cases will ensure one reaches the playoffs. But how does one find second base perfection? The top three will go extremely early in your draft...

We’ve all seen the good old guy-to-guy ass-pat on the playing field, but not as much as we used to. For some reason, a man patting another man’s hind end isn’t really acceptable anymore, even if you are on the same team. You’ll still see it occasionally (I was actually covering...
