I don’t know if you’ve heard of him or not but the Giants just signed this guy named Barry Bonds… The AP reports that Barry Bonds has passed his physical and has finalized his deal with the Giants. This is what I expected to happen after all and I didn’t put much stock in the theory that the Giants would… Read more →
You may have noticed that the site looks a little different. I’ve decided to change the layout some and so far I’ve been pleased with how its shaping up. I think this layout presents news in an easier to read format. Everything is about 90% done but if you encounter any nasty bugs shoot me an email so I can… Read more →
Still not much happening in the world of the Giants. Mid to late January has to be the worst time for baseball news. Any tiny, minuscule scrap of news is interesting for news starved baseball fans. Marvin Bernard is growing a mustache? Quick! Call Rich Draper and the newspapers! Only 22 days left until pitchers and catchers report for spring… Read more →
A few small happenings around the league so lets dive right in! 1B/OF Craig Wilson signs with the Atlanta Braves for 1 year 2 million dollars. I like this move for Atlanta and think it could turn out to be a bargain. The Braves can platoon Wilson with whoever else they want to run out to first now that Laroche… Read more →
A couple of ex-Giants find new homes. Todd Greene gets a minor league contract and spring training invite from the Pads. I’ll miss watching Todd trying to leg out a triple on a ball that he whacked into ‘triples alley’. Slowest man alive, but in all in all he was a pretty good backup for the Giants hitting .289/.335/.428. To… Read more →

Get ready for him like you’ve never gotten ready for anything before. In my best salty grizzled cowboy voice “Theres a media blitz a-comin’!” Barry Bonds has… Read more →
Today, 14 year veteran Tim Worrell officially retired. Worrell’s return to San Fran didn’t go as smoothly as planned and memories of his 2003 performance were just that, memories. In 2006 Worrell started strong notching 6 saves for the G-Men in April before running into trouble and never recovering his form that made him a successful reliever. Most will remember… Read more →
As the Giants’ rotation finally starts to take shape not many questions are left except who is going to round out the 5th and final spot in the rotation? The Giants will most likely use spring training to find their 5th starter much like they did last year when Jamey Wright was named to the rotation after a strong spring…. Read more →
You’ll have to excuse me if I seem late on the Barry Zito news. I’ve been traveling New Jersey for the last 4-5 days and was without computer access. Before I left on my trip the Giants were a small contender in the Barry Zito sweepstakes but when I returned the Giants had already signed Zito to a enormous 7… Read more →
