Ouch, bad day yesterday to be involved in running a major league team.
Seattle Mariners GM, Bill Bavasi, was “relieved of duties” and shown the door. I’ve always enjoyed the Mariners on a basic level. I think everyone grew up a fan of Ken Griffey Jr. but the Mariners also had players like Edgar Martinez and [...]

I like charts. If you’ve been reading this site any time over the last 2-3 months, you’ve probably noticed that. I’m a visual person. I learn best by watching and seeing, charts and other illustrations appeal to me because of this. It’s easy to look at them and to gain information quickly.
A couple of weeks [...]

Well, almost.
The first step towards actually seeing, hearing, and watching live baseball again has been taken. Pitchers and catchers in the Giants organization have reported to Scottsdale, Arizona and are in the early stages of baseball activities. It might not be much, but just hearing about and seeing a few brief images of ballplayers picking [...]

Not much to say, other than Barry Bonds has been indicted today on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. I might write more on it later but to be honest, I’ve been watching way too much ESPN today and I already feel burnt out on the topic. Regardless of my opinion of Barry, I [...]

Sometimes baseball can really be a strange game. Emphasis on strange. Kevin Mitchell once strained a muscle while vomiting. He also broke a tooth while eating a chocolate donut. Heck, you could probably fill an entire book about general Kevin Mitchell weirdness. Or, the time ex-Giant masher Glen Allen Hill fell through a glass table [...]
*Only applies if you’re not a Boston or Colorado fan.
Watching October baseball when your favorite team is already out of the race (or in the Giants case, sometime around mid-May) can be hard. The one team I was rooting for, the Indians, got bounced in a Game 7 Fenway defeat last night. The Indians jumped [...]

First things first, I’ve installed some new spam-blocker software on the site. I’ve been getting bombarded with more and more spam lately and hopefully this should lighten the load. All user accounts should be unaffected but there is a chance new users might get unfairly “tagged” as spam. I seriously doubt that this will happen [...]
Slow news day for the Giants, it might have something to do with the whole “not making the postseason” thing. I thought I’d share some quick thoughts and links.
There’s a lively discussion on Pedro Feliz over at El Lefty Malo’s. Go check it out, lots of great opinions on Pedro Feliz and how to fill [...]
Steroids? Nah.
An article recently detailing that Barry Bonds’ brace may be the culprit for the tainted homerun chase has received a lot of press. While Bonds is getting ready to pass Aaron for the all-time home run champ, this article has been popping up all over sports pages I read on the internet. The basic [...]
Lincecum officially to begin the season in AAA Fresno. Lincecum could easily have made it as a reliever on this team but the Giants want to keep him starting every 5th day. Depending on how the Giants view Sanchez, a very good chance exists that Lincecum could be moved into the rotation this season once [...]
