There’s Always Next Year, Braves Fans

Well that series was definitely torture — if your idea of “torture” is four incredible baseball games. The San Francisco Giants are one (really difficult) series closer to fans being able to scream THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT! But first they must face the hardcore Philadelphia Phillies. While they wait, [...]

It Was a Really Good Try, Padres

You know that phrase “It was over before it started?” Well, that is how I felt when the San Francisco Giants faced off against the San Diego Padres in Game 1 of their crucial four-game series last night in San Diego.

The end of interleague play — for now.

UPDATE: June 29, 2010. Interleague play is over. Once again, the AL dominated (134-118), which they have done for 6 out of the last 7 years. As regards the contenders, some notes first, especially in light of the uneven level of difficulty in the interleague schedule:

Tim Lincecum: Your Best Fantasy Bet

Tim Lincecum: Your Best Fantasy Bet

It was a close call, but the San Francisco Giants and Tim Lincecum have reached a preliminary agreement on a $23 million, two-year contract. This is pretty great news for Timmy, but even better news for fantasy owners since the righty phenom can finally concentrate on his skills to pay the bills, rather than how he’s going to pay for all that sweet ganja the bills.

The Pirates need an answer…Its Barry!!!!

They should sign Barry Bonds. Heres why: Bonds brings a proven potent bat to the line up. He’ll put asses in the seats. The Pirates would get national attention. People will buy Pirates jerseys, and the players that are playing well will be recognized…see Freddie Sanchez!! The Pirates would make money… More money than they are now. Mr Nutting likes money. He likes attention-he’ll love Barry! Sure, they would take some negativity from it, but the upside outweighs the downside. Mr Nutting, get Barry on the phone, get him on a plan and get him in a Pirates uniform.
