After recovering from Memorial Day weekend — and eating way too much — I finally got back to watching some Giants baseball last night, when the Giants took on the division leading Arizona Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks have been great this season, winning with a mixture of rising young talent and experienced starting pitching in Brandon [...]
A quick word, I’ve enabled a caching plugin this morning. It should increase the load times and responsivenesses of the site. I’ve read some things that say a user could get served a ‘blank page’ now and then, and it if it happens to you personally, please send me an email with your problem so [...]
I love backup catchers. And it’s not because they are star players; most backup catchers are merely there to absorb the beating that comes along with catching a tiny white ball in 20lbs of armor when your starter needs a rest. I get it. But it’s one of those thankless jobs in professional baseball that [...]
We’re heading to Fresno!
Hot off the heels of a nail biting win over the Purple Ones, the Giants made a roster change involving the ever-speedy Eugenio Velez.
From the SFGiants.com
The Giants optioned Velez to Triple-A Fresno after Tuesday night’s 6-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies, and replaced him with infielder Travis Denker, who was recalled from [...]
Sometimes I think the internet is the greatest thing ever. I can access vast amounts of information, link up with old friends, and of course, download illegal mp3s — just kidding RIAA. The global world at my fingertips and all that malarkey.
The interconnectivity between one user and the world is amazing, but sometimes I could [...]
My god what an ugly loss that was.
Did the corpse of Darin Erstad really hit a 3-run home run to tie the game? Erstad hasn’t been a good hitter in almost 7 years now and he knocks a 3-run shot to knot the game? The Fangraph for this game was particularly horrific. Click with caution.
Erstad’s [...]
Did Brian Sabean suffer a brain stroke recently?
From the Chron
…Sabean sees a San Francisco team that can contend.
Not in two seasons, not next season, but in 2008.
“As long as we’ve got a chance to stay in and around third place, why not?” Sabean said as he stood along the dugout rail and watched his players [...]
I’d like to give Matt Cain a much deserved shout out after he threw 8 innings of 2-run ball last night. He also chipped in with a solo home run for his second longball of the year. Cain has already tied his home run output from last year and if everything goes right, could he [...]
Operation ‘Move All My Junk’ was successful.
The move went amazingly well, no boxes were lost, or items shattered into a million pieces. I’ve got all my fingers left and just a few things are left to move, but the bulk of the work is done. I can’t thank my friends enough who volunteered their Saturday [...]
I’m currently doing one of my least favorite things besides watching the Giants lose; packing up all my stuff and moving. Moving has to be one of the most excruciating and painful tasks that anyone can undertake in this day-and-age. The constant quest for cardboard boxes, moving heavy furniture, and then moving it again all [...]
