Giants get the band back together…again
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in Adam LaRoche, Bengie Molina, Brian Sabean, Pablo Sandoval, Randy Johnson, San Francisco Giants on 01 20th, 2010 | 4 Comments
Giants get the band back together…...
Bengie Molina is back. At first I was shocked, and it was a mixture of “Uggh, I thought we were rid of him” and “Wow, the Giants have a lot more guys capable of hitting 20 homers in a season than they have in a while.” We’ve all gotten so caught up in the allure of 1-year...

Spending other people’s money

Spending other people’s money...
It’s almost a relief that the Brian Sabean didn’t dive into free agency from the start with the same vigor as a child who sees one of those giant inflatable bouncer things for the first time. He did that last year, and ended up going 1-for-4 on his veteran spending spree, as Sabean turned...

The Good and Bad of Oktoberfest

The Good and Bad of Oktoberfest...
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...

Barry Zito gets his own chant

Barry Zito gets his own chant...
“Let’s go Zito” won’t set any records for originality, but it’s the thought that counts. And who would have thought at any time in 2007, ‘08 or the first half of ‘09 that Barry Zito would have anybody chanting his name in any way other than vitriolic? He may...

The Giants just…won’t…die

The Giants just…won’t…...
Part of you is near reverential, the other part of you is exhausted and secretly wishes it would all just end. The San Francisco Giants, the team that tonight came within 2.5 wins of the over/under Las Vegas set for them before the season, is again only 3.5 games behind the Colorado Rockies. 3.5. It...

Giants have some goofy-looking starting ...
Ah, daytime baseball on a weekday. A time for a man to examine his surroudings, breathe in the fresh air of his apartment living room, and wonder how on earth the Giants have compiled a group of starters who are the baseball equivalent of the early-2000’s Sacramento Kings. Barry Zito would play...

Giants want Uggla over Sanchez...
(12:07 pm update, from Joel Sherman of the NY Post via Twitter: “Giants definitely getting Freddy Sanchez, a source tells me.” So who do we believe, Baggs or Sherman?)

What did Brian Sabean expect?

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...

Towels, tumbles and tweets: the three funniest 1st half Giants links

Towels, tumbles and tweets: the three fu...
Winning doesn’t just breed good chemistry, it breeds good comedy. It’s a lot easier to laugh at your mistakes when your record qualifies you for the playoffs. When your setup relievers are Jack Taschner and Tyler Walker, life just isn’t as funny. There have been a lot of great moments...

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...
