Monday Roundup: beer, ball and tats...
Went beer tasting yesterday. OK, that’s not really accurate. When you go wine tasting, they have those buckets you toss your unused wine into. “Hmmm, this one is too young. No thank you, wine pourer. I’m leaving room for the food you aren’t providing.” (Yes, you’re...

Giants looking gamey, gritty and … cocky?

Giants looking gamey, gritty and …...
The Giants like veterans, because they share two qualities. They taste gamey and gritty (like squab or quail gizzards), and their fact status as gritty gamers has actually rankled quite a few fans over the last five playoff-free seasons. The Giants just swept an awful team this afternoon (a 100-loss...

LaRoche would actually make the Giants halfway decent

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...

Odd man out: Renteria or IshiGarko?

Odd man out: Renteria or IshiGarko?...
Freddy Sanchez will be back either tomorrow or Monday, and not a moment too soon. The Giants could explode for 10 runs today on national television against Yovani Gallardo, but that doesn’t erase the fact that they’ve scored 5 runs in the first 4 games of their current road trip. The lineup...

Buster Posey: this year’s Pablo Sandoval?

Buster Posey: this year’s Pablo Sa...
Sometimes, you can feel the rage behind some of Brian Sabean’s roster moves. There’s a point where the San Francisco Giants’ resident tire-kicker watches an awful loss, and at the end of the day does some angry due diligence and makes a reactionary roster move. Luckily for the Giants,...

Since the last two games for the Giants have been long and bitter, I’m going to make this one short and sweet…

What the Giants’ lineup should be

What the Giants’ lineup should be...
Ah, baseball. The smell of grass, hot dogs and garlic fries in the air…and the chance to whine about Bruce Bochy’s lineup every day on Extra Baggs and McCovey Chronicles. I’ve never really done it, since I’ve never commented on Baggs’ site and most of my commentary on McCoven...

The Giants lose on Dave Dravecky Day…What?!?!

On the strength of great young pitching, a recent power surge and an unfathomable hot streak from their speedy backup outfielder who a few weeks ago was a borderline Major Leaguer at best, we’ve seen the local squad play pretty well since the All-Star Break. But enough about the A’s. A baseball...

No place like (Tim Lincecum’s) home

Yeah, I know: real original headline. Sorry, nothing else comes to mind. Seeing the Giants play this way at home reminds me of the first time I went to AT&T (then Pac Bell) Park. I was with my buddy Carp, back when we lived in Eureka and going to a Giants game was a BIG DEAL. And this wasn’t...

What did Brian Sabean expect?

What did Brian Sabean expect?...
This isn’t the first time Brian Sabean has vented publicly about the ineptitude of his players, but it might be one of the last. Yesterday, after the Giants finished off one of their weakest offensive road trips since Candlestick Park had Astroturf, Sabean was downright ageist, courtesy of Andrew...
