Happy Darren Ford Day!

You have to admit, there’s less of a jinxing possibility to that headline, isn’t there?

Happy, um, Lincecum Day?
Happy, um, Lincecum Day?...
After two weather-related posts last week, I promise not to obsess over another, milder heat wave in San Francisco that’s supposed to start tomorrow. Talking about the weather usually means you don’t know what else to talk about, and I really don’t want anyone to think the author of...

Pitch counts and Madison Bumgarner
Pitch counts and Madison Bumgarner...
Mike Krukow said it on Friday night when Madison Bumgarner got strike one against Albert Pujols in their last battle, a lively confrontation that resulted in Pujols hitting a home run to center and ending Bumgarner’s night in the 8th inning: if the Giants make the playoffs, Bumgarner would be one...

Don’t mind Brian Sabean if you see him in a 7-11 buying Gatorade, Ibuprofen and Alka-Seltzer. Or if you see a haggard Bruce Bochy waiting in an In-N-Out drive-thru, his prodigious cranium resting against the driver’s side window. After a bender of a 6-game road trip against contending teams,...

Philadelphia radio host Howard Eskin came on with Brian Murphy this morning and delighted in tromping all over the San Francisco Giants and their fans. He started the needling by saying that what the Phillies do is beat bad teams, and they’ve been doing that very thing the past two days against...

We can’t fix Tim Lincecum...
We don’t know what’s wrong with Lincecum. And “we” means everybody. Fans, reporters, coaches, front office execs, former pitchers, even meddling fathers of pitchers. The amount of questions — along with the absurdity of some of the questions people are asking — is...

Giants vs. Braves: quieting the haters
Giants vs. Braves: quieting the haters...
The Giants are the hottest team in baseball right and … what’s that I hear? I that the sound of haters picking apart the team? Well, of course it is. Until the Giants finally win a World Series, the complaints will always drown out the praise (and let’s face it, even if they do win...

First Kobe Bryant, now Andre Ethier. From now on, any Los Angeles athlete who gets a call from LA Times Magazine asking about potential photo shoots should hang up the phone faster than I do when I get automated phone calls from political candidates asking for votes on election day. While LAT Magazine...

I really, really do. Ever since sports talk radio changed the way we talk, whine, yell and bitch about sports, criticism is the only real way to get your point across anymore. Ask anybody who’s making a good living in this crazy business. If you talk about how great everything is all the time,...

There are different ways to write/blog about the rosterbatory practice of obsessing over the trade deadline: 1. Read and respond to every trade rumor, now matter how nonsensical or the source involved. “Oh snap! Chris Rose just said the Giants are interested in Albert Pujols. I might even give...
