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...

Giants set Carney Lansford free

Giants set Carney Lansford free...
Carney Lansford didn’t walk a whole lot during his playing career. He walked about as much as Pablo Sandoval. Now he isn’t the Giants’ hitting coach anymore, and while it’s hard to shed too many tears, it’s hard not to feel like Lansford is probably relieved tonight. Sandoval’s...

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...

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...

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...

Giants’ hitters auditioning for their jobs

Giants’ hitters auditioning for th...
You know how when teams fire their head coach/manager midway through a season, and the guy who replaces him is labeled an “interim” coach/manager? The job then becomes a daily audition, hoping that the performance given is good enough to prevent the team from going after a more well-known,...

Giants shouldn’t trade unless it’s for a cleanup hitter

Giants shouldn’t trade unless it&#...
It’s pretty difficult to get too maudlin about how the Giants lost earlier tonight, which sounds weird since they lost on a walk-off homer in extra innings…to the Cardinals, no less. And this is coming from someone whose dad had World Series tickets in 1987 that went unused. You just don’t...

Juan Uribe should be the Giants’ starter at 2B

Juan Uribe should be the Giants’ s...
The move was widely panned at the time as another attempt at recapturing a veteran’s lost youth, but Brian Sabean struck gold when he signed Juan Uribe to a minor league contract before the season. OK, maybe not gold, but at least tungsten, or perhaps even bronze or silver. And we all know how...

MLB Monday: Aurilia buys some time...
Were you one of those people who smiled and cringed at the same time when Rich Aurilia hit that home run yesterday? Giant fans will take tie-breaking home runs anytime they can get them, but check out these reactions from McCovey Chronicles today after Aurilia’s first homer of the season:

Aaron Rowand obviously reads BASG

Aaron Rowand obviously reads BASG...
Before my week-long tour of Southern California, I declared that Aaron Rowand’s contract was actually even worse than Barry Zito’s. That was mostly due to Zito losing 2-1 in San Diego, in part because Rowand struck out in feeble fashion as a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning. Then I sort of...
