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?...
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...

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...

In defense of Jonathan Sanchez...
No matter how slow the news day, or how fast for that matter, the media absolutely loves it when athletes or coaches guarantee victory. It’s the absolute height of lazy journalism, complete with heavy usage of the phrase “bulletin board material” and obligatory mentions of Joe Namath. Jonathan...

Giants turn clock back to 1993...
Back in the days before humidors and dinosaur mascots — hell, back before the days of Coors Field, playing the Rockies used to be fun. Relaxing, even. An opposing team traveling to Denver back in the Rockies’ first year of existence (back when the most important thing to everyone wasn’t...

5 questions facing the Giants...
After the first couple months of the season, it’s pretty clear we know all we need to know about the San Francisco Giants. At times they look like the slowest, oldest team in baseball, then over Memorial Day Weekend the main image we all had was Andres Torres and Freddy Sanchez sprinting around...

B2B BLTs, bee costumes and B-Weezy...
It’s a full day when in the morning you ran alongside (and dodged) thousands of drunken Bay To Breakers revelers and still managed to listen to Marty Lurie for a full two hours in the evening while making Pad Thai. Mmmm, Pad Thai. No costumes for the fiance and I, just our normal running clothes....

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,...

Pablo Sandoval loses final All-Star vote...
If you cared enough to vote, you probably know by now that Shane Victorino piggy-backed the overwhelming celebrity of Brandon Inge en route to a win in the “Final Vote” All-Star thing over Pablo Sandoval. What, you’re surprised? Everyone knows the Bay Area cannot, will not, win anything...

Bleachers 101: Intro to S.F. Giants...
I caught yesterday’s surprisingly frustrating Giants game from the middle of the left field bleachers, where it’s apparent that a large percentage of the ticket-buying public could use a tutorial on what the San Francisco Giants viewing experience really entails. Sure, everyone knows that...
