Happy Darren Ford Day!...
You have to admit, there’s less of a jinxing possibility to that headline, isn’t there?

Happy, um, Lincecum Day?

Happy, um, Lincecum Day?...
After two weather-related posts last week, I promise not to obsess over another, milder heat wave in San Francisco that’s supposed to start tomorrow. Talking about the weather usually means you don’t know what else to talk about, and I really don’t want anyone to think the author of...

Leaving Ross in RF wasn’t Bochy’s biggest mistake
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in Brian Sabean, Brian Wilson, Bruce Bochy, Carlos Gonzalez, Cody Ross, Freddy Sanchez, Jonathan Sanchez, Nate Schierholtz, Pablo Sandoval, San Francisco Giants on 08 31st, 2010 | 4 Comments
Leaving Ross in RF wasn’t Bochy...
For a game where we got to watch Jonathan Sanchez carve up the Rockies for eight innings, that was one terrible game to sit in the stands and watch last night. Terrible offense, several head-scratching managerial moves, poor defense and a huge letdown at the end. In all, it led to the third-worst Giants...

Billy Beane copies Sabean, then surpasses him

Billy Beane copies Sabean, then surpasse...
Kind of a strange thing has happened in Oakland, where Billy Beane hasn’t just spent time overseeing Brad Pitt’s visor-wearing ability, he’s put together a surprisingly decent team. An injury-riddled, unbalanced and mostly ignored team, but a decent team nonetheless. Everyone knows...

Pitch counts and Madison Bumgarner
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in Barry Zito, Bruce Bochy, Jonathan Sanchez, Madison Bumgarner, Mike Krukow, San Francisco Giants, Tim Lincecum on 08 26th, 2010 | 3 Comments
Pitch counts and Madison Bumgarner...
Mike Krukow said it on Friday night when Madison Bumgarner got strike one against Albert Pujols in their last battle, a lively confrontation that resulted in Pujols hitting a home run to center and ending Bumgarner’s night in the 8th inning: if the Giants make the playoffs, Bumgarner would be one...

Chills … and then just cold

Chills … and then just cold...
It seemed like everything was back to normal after yesterday’s uber-weirdness left us overheated and giddy. The city’s warmer than usual, but back to its normal windy self. The Giants had trouble scoring runs against Homer Bailey and the Reds once again looked like the best offensive team...

They’re all like this, aren’t they? Just another standard hot August day and night here in the city! Where baseballs soar from the yard in the evening like the stars shooting over our head through clear skies at night. Next to the gigantic full moon… I’m not into astrology (don’t...

Can we end this “batting second, Buster Posey” charade now?

Can we end this “batting second, B...
Forget In-N-Out and Alka Seltzer; the best cure for a hangover is actually a bunch of multiple-hit games throughout the lineup. Another remedy is the kind of pitching performance everyone around here can’t wait to take for granted, but have actually been pretty rare from the Giants’ first...

Giants go on bender, wake up next to Cody Ross

Don’t mind Brian Sabean if you see him in a 7-11 buying Gatorade, Ibuprofen and Alka-Seltzer. Or if you see a haggard Bruce Bochy waiting in an In-N-Out drive-thru, his prodigious cranium resting against the driver’s side window. After a bender of a 6-game road trip against contending teams,...
