Checking out Timmy’s progress with some Lincecum links
I’m still in Southern California, scheduled to fly back tomorrow afternoon. While this trip started in San Diego, we drove to my wife’s aunt’s house in Newport before heading to E3 later today, where my wife will attend a swanky business dinner and I’ll mess around in L.A. with my buddy Carp, who recently moved […]

In September Kershaw led the Dodgers to 2-1 victories over the […]

Giants get pantsed on local television
An embarrassing day, that’s what that was. Their goofy, mediocre, pear-shaped pitcher got suspended for 100 games for taking illegal stimulants designed to burn fat. More on him later, but first: Let’s pursue bunts … together. Let’s chase errant throws from third basemen … together. Let’s avoid hitting home runs … together. The San Francisco […]

Buster Posey has a nightmare game against his least favorite team
I saw Alex Pavlovic, the guy who mans the San Francisco Giants beat for the San Jose Mercury News and all those other BANG papers, and he mentioned how he was just trying to get back into the groove of things after having the weekend off. So was I. It seems weird, but it’s true […]
