Jayson Stark has written a great little article about the “anti-Bonds”, Duane Kuiper.
It looks like Teixeira is headed to Atlanta, not San Francisco.
I can’t bring my bottled water through the airport, but we can give 30 billion dollars in military aide to Israel. You tell me which poses the greatest “security” threat to the U.S. […]

Sabean… fetch Saltalamacchia

25 July 2007

To Brian Sabean:
Please, please go get Jarrod Saltalamacchia. According to ESPN, Salty is on the block as Atlanta desperately searches for some starting pitching. Ship them Morris, eat some of his $9 million salary in ‘08, and toss in a bullpen arm… just get him.  He’s a legit young hitter who has proved himself in […]

Ken Rosenthal said it best: Like it or not, here comes Barry. In the midst of a dreadful season and another miserable one-run loss, Barry Bonds went deep twice, for the 71st time in his amazing career.

The Giants… are screwed. Brian Sabean will be making the calls for my team for another two, or even three years. I have no faith in this man, who has now made at least as many bad moves as good ones. This man could not bring a World Series ring to San […]

time for some new blood

A San Francisco Chronicle article by Henry Schulman suggests that the Giants ownership is in contract talks with Brian Sabean.
Schulman ends by saying,
The Giants are in the midst of their third consecutive losing season, and many fans have called for Sabean’s head. But many in baseball believe Sabean has gotten a bum rap because he […]

first half wrap up

11 July 2007

Here’s where the Giants stand offensively at the break, with their 2007 MLB rankings:
4.24 runs per game - 26th
.250 batting average - 26th
.320 on-base percentage - 25th
.385 slugging percentage - 28th
Now, taking a look at how bad this first half has been historically for the Giants… here are the same numbers compared to San Francisco […]
