In sports, pessimism is your friend...
One of my main philosophies in life is “don’t get your hopes up.” And I am absolutely maniacal in my attempts to keep my hopes at subpar levels. For instance, I’ll never jinx my favorite team, even if they have the most insurmountable lead in the history of insurmountable leads....

Lincecum’s the dessert after ̶...
After a winter in which the Giants heard their fans’ wishes for a tropical vacation or a luxury car and answered those requests with a few nondescript household appliances, they finally made a splash by doing what we all knew they would: sign Tim Lincecum to a tidy little “stay of arbitration”...

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...

NFL starters sent to slaughter...
There was something off about NFL Sunday this, err, Sunday. It started with the 49ers/Rams game, which featured the most pathetic offensive first half since the forward pass was made legal. Then NFL starters who should have been resting for the playoffs started dropping like WNBA players on slippery...

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...

10 Things I’m thankful for...
It’s the time of year when you’re supposed to forget your problems. Don’t have a job? At least you have your health. Don’t have much money in your bank account? At least you have a roof over your head. Don’t have a good team to root for in your Greater Metro Area? At least...

Tim Lincecum wins NL Cy Young Award...
Tim Lincecum, 2009 NL Cy Young Award winner. I’m sure Bud Selig is STOKED right now. You can’t make the following claim about the sport’s commissioner, but baseball’s writers seem to have finally stepped into the 21st century. Even if Tim Lincecum won the Cy Young Award for the...
