LaRoche would actually make the Giants h...
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...

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...

I don’t practice Renteria…

I don’t practice Renteria…...
I need something to complain about, so do you. The Giants! They swing at the first pitch all the time! F-POM! F-POM! F-POM! That new phrase? Pretty lame, sure, but it’s all I heard this morning, because I listened to Mac and Murph while driving throughout the beauty that is Northern California. Actually,...

Giants’ magic number is now 6

Giants’ magic number is now 6...
One down, only six to go. Sometimes a man needs to stake his reputation on a completely irrational prediction, and here’s mine: if the San Francisco Giants win seven of the thirteen games they play against the Colorado Rockies, they’ll finish ahead of the Rockies in the final standings. Whether...

San Francisco Giants second half preview...
The work Jonathan Sanchez did in the bullpen before throwing a no-hitter. The adjustments Pablo Sandoval made in April and May to go from talented hacker to the guy who really should be called Tony Gwynn, Jr., instead of that lame outfielder in San Diego who broke up Tim Lincecum’s no-no. Somehow...

In defense of Jonathan Sanchez

In defense of Jonathan Sanchez...
First off, Jonathan Sanchez was pretty awful last night. 4 earned runs allowed in 4 innings, with 6 strikeouts overshadowed by 5 hits and 6 walks. He’s gotten a reputation for not handling adversity very well, be it a fielding error behind him, a stingy home plate umpire or the misplacement of...

OK Giants fans, good news first…

OK Giants fans, good news first…...
Assuming the Giants go 1-1 in their next two games in Arizona (and with Tim Lincecum and Randy Johnson pitching, that doesn’t seem too far-fetched), they’ll be 7-9 through the first 10% of the season. That means they’re on pace to win around 70 games this season, a year after going...

SF Giants Opening Day Journal: Part 2...
4:45: After driving through the streets of San Francisco, picking up SGL and driving to Luckerson’s (Lucky’s + Albertson’s since they can’t make up their minds) for Excedrin, my coverage of Opening Day has been spotty in the later innings.
