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...

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...

Normally linksharing between blogs is pretty common and not really worth noting, but I’m not too jaded to admit I was flattered to get some love from a senior writer at the Worldwide Leader. Rob Neyer is an interesting guy, and that’s not just because he looks like a combination of Greg Kinnear...

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...

There are different ways to write/blog about the rosterbatory practice of obsessing over the trade deadline: 1. Read and respond to every trade rumor, now matter how nonsensical or the source involved. “Oh snap! Chris Rose just said the Giants are interested in Albert Pujols. I might even give...

We’re dog-sitting this week for our nextdoor neighbor. Usually it’s no big deal. We take the dog out in the morning and after work, have her stay at our place in the evening and play with our dog, make sure she doesn’t starve to death. No biggie. This morning I experienced the worst-case...

You know what they say: you never want to get in a home-run hitting contest with the San Francisco Giants. What’s going on here? Did we really watch last night’s game and end up surprised that Edgar Renteria didn’t come through, that he struck out to end the game? Even Aaron Rowand’s...

Marty Lurie is a Godsend on the weekends. Last night’s traffic jam we slogged through would have been downright impossible to handle without him. And I know that if you’re on the radio for 10 hours a day, you need to come up with topics. That said, stop trying to come up with nicknames for...

Spent the weekend hanging out with my sister and her new fiance in Calistoga, away from computers and once again away from warm weather. Seriously, what gives with this crappy summer? I know San Francisco weather is generally windy, cold and pretty crappy, but this is getting ridiculous. After living...

This isn’t an original pet peeve, but it’s a pet peeve nonetheless. I hate it when people call sports talk radio and bring up trades without any thought whatsoever to why the other team would make the trade. You know, the whole, “The Giants should get a guy like Miguel Cabrera. You...
