Did Krukow really call Zito a clown?...
Mike Krukow should know better. Every time he opens up his mouth and calls somebody a clown, there have been repercussions. The first time it was Damon Bruce, and that caused the biggest Giants vs. KNBR evening host battle since Felipe Alou used to nod off next to the bat rack. I wasn’t even sure...

Congratulations to the NFL, who for the first time since the early 1980′s televised a first round of the draft that I didn’t watch one second of. I know we don’t matter here on the West Coast, especially guys like me who work until after 6pm and walk home past the Tenderloin (that’s...

What did Brian Sabean expect?...
This isn’t the first time Brian Sabean has vented publicly about the ineptitude of his players, but it might be one of the last. Yesterday, after the Giants finished off one of their weakest offensive road trips since Candlestick Park had Astroturf, Sabean was downright ageist, courtesy of Andrew...

Giants’ magic number is now 6

Giants’ magic number is now 6...
One down, only six to go. Sometimes a man needs to stake his reputation on a completely irrational prediction, and here’s mine: if the San Francisco Giants win seven of the thirteen games they play against the Colorado Rockies, they’ll finish ahead of the Rockies in the final standings. Whether...

On L.A. radio, the sky is falling...
Besides Damon Bruce and Mychael Urban, this site probably doesn’t have a lot of fans at KNBR 680. Ours is probably the biggest area in the United States where the media refuses to really criticize each other too much. It’s a pretty sensitive area, so even though I probalby consume as much...

2009 San Francisco Giants: Worst Case Sc...
(From the 2008 San Francisco Giants: Worst Case Scenario): Barry Zito gives up a grand slam in the first inning on opening day, leading to an 0-4 April. Gary Radnich temporarily damages his voice yelling about Zito on KNBR, leading to a two-week absence while he’s replaced by Mychael Urban and...

Will the Giants really keep six outfielders?

Will the Giants really keep six outfield...
It’s official: Rich Aurilia’s KNBR workload just increased by at least 100%. Kevin Frandsen has been optioned to Triple-A Fresno, and Bruce Bochy threw out a 25-man roster to the beat reporters today that’s part inspired, part frightening. The nuttiest portion of the Opening Day lineup...

The Internets are all a twitter about Kurt Warner, because the 49ers look like they’re actually serious about bringing the formerly bearded one to San Francisco. Actually I probably should have worded that last sentence better, since Twitter is more commonly used for purposes like organizing pub...

I was going to do a full 2008 San Francisco Giants recap yesterday, but I couldn’t because I had to actually, you know, work. While working I had KNBR on in the background, figuring Gary Radnich might have had something to say about Barry Zito’s recent interview with Mychael Urban. At the...

“Can’t we all just agree Boston is going to win the East unless they suffer a major injury to KG, Pierce or Allen? Yes? Good.” Uh, whoops. The above quote is from my NBA Western Conference first round playoff predictions. Not only was I completely wrong in picking Dallas and Phoenix...
