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...

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...

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...

First inning: Duane Kuiper says if you put your hand on Madison Bumgarner’s chest, it would vibrate. I guess Kuip’s talking about your hand, although I guess it could work both ways. You’d have to imagine that would be true, although you couldn’t tell by looking at the kid. He’s...

According to Andy Baggarly and others, the Giants picked up Brad Penny to be their fifth starter. On one hand, it’s a good thing that the Giants don’t have to keep rotating guys like Ryan Sadowski, Joe Martinez or (uggh) Ramon Ortiz in and out of the rotation. Also, the thought of throwing...

What I’m about to write either proves my amazingness as a fan or indicts me for being exactly the type of Bay Area fan (or boyfriend of a Bay Area fan) that fits all the bad stereotypes: when the Freddy Sanchez trade was announced, I was driving my girlfriend to an arts and crafts store in Colma....

San Francisco Giants second half preview
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...

Rumors involving the Giants and whether or not they’ll open up the company checkbook are getting louder and more pervasive by the day, but they’re veering off in directions most wouldn’t have imagined. Forget Jermaine Dye or Victor Martinez, Ryan Braun or Matt Holliday. The Giants have...

It’s pretty difficult to get too maudlin about how the Giants lost earlier tonight, which sounds weird since they lost on a walk-off homer in extra innings…to the Cardinals, no less. And this is coming from someone whose dad had World Series tickets in 1987 that went unused. You just don’t...

As we all sit on the edge of our seats waiting for the announcement that Jonathan Sanchez will get moved to the bullpen, it’s time to worry about more pressing problems for the San Francisco Giants. Namely, this is not a playoff team. Playoff teams don’t shock you when they sweep 3-game series....
