The idea of positive thinking on a Monday, of all days, seems a little out of place. After all, Monday is the most hated and annoying day of the week. Monday’s are on par with Frankenberry breakfast cereal, clearly the worst of the monster themed cereals of General Mills (Count Chocula will always be #1, don’t even debate it.) What’s… Read more →
The Giants have entered the second half of the season much like the first, looking bad. The 12-1 beat down handed out by the Cubs yesterday only punctuates this notion. With no hope of playoff contention, the Giants should be looking to wheel and deal what little they have this year. This is basically the common mantra chanted by most… Read more →
Just heard on KNBR that Brian Sabean has been extended for 2 years with a team option for 2010 I believe. I haven’t been able to find a link detailing the story yet but when I do I’ll be sure to post it. It looks like Sabean will get a chance to operate in a “No-Bonds Zone” for the next… Read more →
Confusion. Panic. Fear. These are all emotions that are going to sweep Giants nation like a cool breeze blowing across the bay. Most had Sabean pegged as working on borrowed time and on the way out. Three consecutive losing seasons can have that affect on people. But, it sounds like the Giants are are making efforts to bring back Sabes… Read more →
The Futures Game today was a great showing of some of the exciting young talent working it’s way towards the major leagues. Prospects like Joba Chamberlain, Justin Upton, Clayton Kershaw, and many others were great to see live and in-the-flesh. The day was perfect for baseball. Clear blue skies with a slight breeze that was blowing out into the bay…. Read more →
The Giants find themselves in Cincinnati against the worst team in all of baseball. The Reds are sporting a .381 winning percentage good for 32-52 on the season. The Giants themselves aren’t exactly hot stuff either as they continue to try to climb back to .500, currently 10 games under. Barry Zito has continued to show why his 7 year… Read more →
To start things off, I’d like to give a thanks to McC user beanpj for the heads up in this thread about ESPN’s current frontpage. You can check out my screen cap here for the blurb in question. For those not wanting to goto ESPN (I don’t blame you) or to look at the screen cap, I’ll quote and highlight… Read more →
All that nonsense about “watchable baseball”, well you can ignore it. The news flash of the day is that the Giants still look completely over matched when playing baseball. It’s almost getting to a sickening point, impressive in a sad way, in the different ways this team manages to lose games. Bullpen meltdowns? That is so 2006. All the new… Read more →
Alright, maybe not “beautiful” but watchable baseball? Maybe. This years incarnation of the Giants is never going to be a great one but they’ll win the occasional game. We must exercise caution and not get too excited, the Giants are not a playoff team and in no way should we get our hopes up. But, a lot of things went… Read more →
Most have heard the bad news, former Giant All Star Rod Beck has passed. The mustache, the hair, and the dangling swinging arm were all characteristics of Beck who was a 3 time All Star with the Giants. While with the Giants, Beck was a rock, a player that the manager could always go to when he needed the help…. Read more →
