Easter Thoughts
23 March 2008A little house-keeping… I’ve added a link to a great bay area sports site: The Bay Area Sports Machine. Check it out!
I’ve also been working on my pictures… feel free to take a look here.
Bill Plaschke is a big dummy. Why write anything else about it when Junior over at Fire Joe Morgan […]
they might be unlucky giants
29 August 2007So, there’s been tons of research done on the correlation between a team’s overall runs scored/allowed and win-loss record. Obviously, it makes sense… teams with positive run differentials are likely to have good win-loss records. Bill James’ pythagorean method, explained here, actually generates a projected winning percentage based entirely on runs scored and […]
giants at turner
17 August 2007I was fortunate enough to see the Giants at Turner Field twice this week, Tuesday and Wednesday, the two losses. I was pleasantly surprised at how classy the Braves were… before Tuesday’s game, the PA announcer congratulated Bonds on the HR record and they replayed Hank Aaron’s message to Bonds. There were fewer […]
bud’s reaction
6 August 2007For those of you that missed it, here’s #755, and Bud Selig’s reaction to it. How can the commissioner of baseball hate his job so very much?
Dodger-fan (but good writer none-the-less) Jim Caple wrote a funny article in response to Selig’s dumb reaction.
i’ll let others do it…
4 August 2007Defending Barry is tiresome… he’s been a jerk for so long, it’s hard to root for him. But I’ve always maintained that Barry is getting a raw deal… he is singled out, picked on, and mocked by those who he mistreated in the past: the media. The same media who control what is both said […]
Sabean… fetch Saltalamacchia
25 July 2007To 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 […]
two from aaron, three from history
19 July 2007Ken 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.
No matter what you think of Bonds, this is one of those moments to watch and enjoy… remember, […]
looking for some good news?
14 July 2007Brett Tomko will start on Sunday for the Dodgers. If the Giants can’t snap this home losing streak to LA on Sunday, it may never end.
Another thought… if the Giants ownership intends to have Sabean “rebuild” the team, then there’s a long list of players who should be shopped (and shopped hard) before the end […]
no hope in sight
13 July 2007The 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
12 July 2007A 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 […]
