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 [...]
We’ve officially played a month of baseball and the Giants have done surprisingly well. Their current record of 13-16 puts them at 3rd place in the National League West. A traditionally strong NL West has looked slightly weaker this year than previous years. The Rockies and Padres have both gotten off to slow starts and [...]
Q: Your young phenom ace has throw 109 pitches through 6 innings of dominant baseball. The opposing pitcher has matched him pitch-for-pitch but in the top of the 7th, your team gets lucky, and pops a solo home run from your struggling third baseman. You’ve got the 1-0 lead heading into the bottom of the [...]
Ladies and gentleman, John Bowker.
It’s tough to overshadow a dominant Tim Lincecum start — 11 punch outs over 6, we’ll go into more detail later — but John Bowker has made quite a name for himself in just two games. The Chronicle noted this morning that Bowker has done something that Giants’ legends — Bobby [...]
The first rule of being a Giants fan is “You must love Tim Lincecum” if not, I’m sorry but you can’t join our club full of sadsacks. Tim Lincecum is awesome. Tim Lincecum gives me hope. I bet Tim Lincecum even smells nice.
Did you know that Tim Lincecum is so tiny that he sleeps on [...]
I can’t think of much more to say. Just an unbelievable way to start the year.
What-are-the-Giants-doing?
From the Chron:
In a stunning and risky move involving the young pitcher they call The Franchise, Bochy allowed Lincecum to pitch one inning then return to a cold, damp mound after sitting through the 74-minute delay. Even older, established pitchers [...]
Some interesting numbers from just two games into the 2008 season.
15 - The total number of Giants’ hits in the first two games, all of them singles. In two full 9 inning games, the Giants have yet to hit an extra base hit.
114 - Matt Cain’s pitch total from his first start of the season. [...]
There are a few reasons to watch the Giants this coming season, Tim Lincecum might be most of them. You can conveniently move aside the official Spring Training motto of “These games don’t matter” and enjoy Lincecum’s dominating start against the Athletics last night, a team that has already played a couple of official games [...]
Back to the blog after a short break. Fangraphs is one of my favorite baseball websites on the internet. It’s always been a great resource for people searching for more in depth baseball statistics. They’ve just recently added a feature where you can search by pitch type — type of pitch, speed, and percentage thrown [...]

Yes, you’ve heard it right. The Giants just signed the guy that slammed his face into a wall.
Gritty. Warrior Mentality. Tough. Hard-Nosed. Plays the game right.
All of these words have been used to describe Aaron Rowand who just inked a 5-year deal worth $60M to play center field for the Giants. Usually upon hearing such [...]
