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...
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...

Odd man out: Renteria or IshiGarko?
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in Brian Sabean, Bruce Bochy, Duane Kuiper, Edgar Renteria, Eugenio Velez, Fred Lewis, Juan Uribe, Pablo Sandoval, Randy Winn, Ryan Garko, San Francisco Giants, Travis Ishikawa on 09 5th, 2009 | No Comments
Odd man out: Renteria or IshiGarko?...
Freddy Sanchez will be back either tomorrow or Monday, and not a moment too soon. The Giants could explode for 10 runs today on national television against Yovani Gallardo, but that doesn’t erase the fact that they’ve scored 5 runs in the first 4 games of their current road trip. The lineup...

When Buster Posey comes to town, it’s bye bye Bengie

When Buster Posey comes to town, it̵...
Some would call him refreshingly honest, I would call him incredibly insecure. All he asks is you don’t call up a first-round phenom at his position while he’s nursing a boo-boo on his leg. His name is Bengie Molina, and his insecurity came out in full force yesterday in this exchange with...

Hey Bochy, great win today. Can I have a word?

Hey Bochy, great win today. Can I have a...
Enough, Bruce Bochy. E-Freddy-nuff. OK, that’s not fair, since Lewis mercifully didn’t see any part of the starting lineup today. But neither did Nate Schierholtz, and I’m even more pissed than Kellen Winslow two weeks after a Nandrolone cycle. I’d feel like I was just piling...

What the Giants’ lineup should be
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in Aaron Rowand, Bengie Molina, Bruce Bochy, Edgar Renteria, Eugenio Velez, Fred Lewis, Freddy Sanchez, Juan Uribe, Nate Schierholtz, Pablo Sandoval, Prince Fielder, Randy Winn, Rich Aurilia, Ryan Garko, San Francisco Giants, Travis Ishikawa on 08 13th, 2009 | 1 Comment
What the Giants’ lineup should be...
Ah, baseball. The smell of grass, hot dogs and garlic fries in the air…and the chance to whine about Bruce Bochy’s lineup every day on Extra Baggs and McCovey Chronicles. I’ve never really done it, since I’ve never commented on Baggs’ site and most of my commentary on McCoven...

Bochy’s veteran love went too far tonight

Bochy’s veteran love went too far ...
Nate Schierholtz was eligible to come off the disabled list today. He wasn’t activated. In fact, Bruce Bochy said during the world famous “Bruce Bochy Show” that it was no big whoop, because Schierholtz wouldn’t have even started today, because the Dodgers’ starting pitcher...

Ha ha, Tiger Woods farted!

Ha ha, Tiger Woods farted!...
I was about to start this links post focusing on the local wide receivers who’ve been making a lot of noise lately, but a good journalist (hey, I own a digital interview recorder and use it sometimes…well, it isn’t technically mine, but it’s in my apartment) never buries the lede. I...

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...

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...
