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...

Ah, daytime baseball on a weekday. A time for a man to examine his surroudings, breathe in the fresh air of his apartment living room, and wonder how on earth the Giants have compiled a group of starters who are the baseball equivalent of the early-2000′s Sacramento Kings. Barry Zito would play...

If you all will excuse me, I’m going to channel Bill Simmons for a moment (and not just because of the name of this site, which originally was “thesportsguy.com” until I convinced my girlfriend that while I enjoyed the gesture, the new site she created for me needed to have a different...

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,...

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...

It was about as depressing a scene as you can imagine. After 36 hours on a windy houseboat, and a 4th of July without fireworks, we tiredly drug our sunburned bodies into a 2006 Honda Accord that could have doubled as a hot air popcorn popper. Good and bad news on the radio — the Giants had followed...

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...

What, you thought I’d go all Juan Uribe-insane and forget to write about the best pitching performance from a San Francisco Giant than anybody under 40 has ever seen? 95 pitches, and that wasn’t the half of it. I was listening to the game on the radio with friends in San Jose yesterday, and...
