Mike Leach isn’t a fan of the born...
The good-ol’ boys at Texas Tech are probably doing a boot-scoot boogie over the Mike Leach videos that orangebloods.com bestowed to the world this morning, uncensored videos that show the recently-canned coach giving his players hell in the locker room. Leach hits a variety of subjects, not least...

In sports, pessimism is your friend

In sports, pessimism is your friend...
One of my main philosophies in life is “don’t get your hopes up.” And I am absolutely maniacal in my attempts to keep my hopes at subpar levels. For instance, I’ll never jinx my favorite team, even if they have the most insurmountable lead in the history of insurmountable leads....

Thank God for mock drafts

Thank God for mock drafts...
If you’re ever wondering whether your favorite teams suck, ask yourself this question: “Have you spent more time in the past year looking at mock drafts than your team’s current statistics?” Because I sure have. I couldn’t tell you what Alex Smith’s QB rating was in...

Wait, was that Dave Chappelle over there?

Wait, was that Dave Chappelle over there...
OK, so I don’t have any confirmation, but I’m about 98% sure I saw Dave Chappelle at around 6:15 yesterday evening. I was leaving work (I work on Market St, between 3rd and 4th), and sitting in front of the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, drinking a coffee and smoking a cig, was a dude who looked...

Lincecum’s the dessert after “piecemeal” offseason

Lincecum’s the dessert after ̶...
After a winter in which the Giants heard their fans’ wishes for a tropical vacation or a luxury car and answered those requests with a few nondescript household appliances, they finally made a splash by doing what we all knew they would: sign Tim Lincecum to a tidy little “stay of arbitration”...

Giants get the band back together…again

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...

Giants sign Aubrey Huff…3 years too late

Giants sign Aubrey Huff…3 years to...
If I had a blog back then, I would have written about it. If I had a Twitter account, I would have (groan) tweeted about it. Three hot stove leagues ago, Aubrey Huff was a free agent who fell through the cracks for weeks after a solid career with the Tampa Bay D-Rays and Houston Astros, and the Giants...

LaRoche would actually make the Giants halfway decent

It looks like Adam LaRoche will be in the orange and black. Of course, whether it’s the Giants or the Orioles is anyone’s guess. Reports are that LaRoche turned down an offer of 2 years/$17 million from the Giants, and no other team besides those two odd bedfellows are even halfway interested...

OK Sabes, which old outfielder will it be?

Now that the Giants have added Juan Uribe and Mark DeRosa to Bruce Bochy’s Swiss Army infield, where the only thing that doesn’t change from day to day is the sight of Edgar Renteria reminding all of us that we’re all going to see a day when we get old and our range sinks far below...

The most important game of the year for the Warriors…No, seriously

The Warriors are playing the second game of what seemed like a cruel joke of a back-to-back when the schedule was released, a road game against the Lakers after facing the Celtics at home. The game takes place in about an hour, and it’s not crazy to say this is the Warriors’ most important...
