Link: Jeff Kent washes his truck anniversary

Chris Jaffe, of the Hardball Times, takes us back in time in today’s post on THT Live.

Check that. They saw a man matching Kent’s description earlier that day attempting to do stunts on his motorcycle. He didn’t really succeed, and instead they saw him wipe out but good. He brushed himself off and moved . . . → Read More: Link: Jeff Kent washes his truck anniversary

Friday Links: NRIs, Randy Winn has skills, and Tim Lincecum is good.

Happy Friday, have some links to go with your day.

I recently noticed the Giants’ motherpage has a neat non-roster invitee section that lists all the NRIs for the coming camp.

The always interesting Chris Jaffe of The Hardball . . . → Read More: Friday Links: NRIs, Randy Winn has skills, and Tim Lincecum is good.

I was on a podcast

Go listen to my terrible voice on the Curse of Benitez podcast. We talk ZiPS, Brandon Belt, Melky Cabrera (the creepy one), and a bunch of other Giants stuff. Go ahead, click, listen.

Friday links

I have some links. You have some time, let’s share.

Friday link jumble

I really don’t want to talk about this team right now. When Henry Sosa – on three days rest – shuts you down, well, that’s not a very good sign. If the Giants offense were a person, they would probably be written up somewhere in the Darwin Awards. I think the entry would go something . . . → Read More: Friday link jumble

You want links? I got links.

Today’s batch of links from around the nerdsphere:

* Stadium Journey has a new review online featuring AT&T Park. Not surprisingly, the park rates very well in several areas. The Giants’ homepark is one of my favorites in baseball. It’s my personal favorite that rates up there with other greats such as PNC Park and . . . → Read More: You want links? I got links.

Link share: Thursday morning edition

Quick thought and then some links: after last night’s thrilling — or heart attack inducing — win over the Cardinals, one in which Nate Schierholtz had not one but two key hits, the Giants find themselves up 2-1 in a four game series against one of the better teams in the National League. Schierholtz always . . . → Read More: Link share: Thursday morning edition
