I want to preface this by saying I'm not, um, a regular or even occasional visitor to MySpace.com, especially the purported MySpace pages of Giants players. But a female co-worker and fellow Giants...

This article has the rumor/details. 8 years, $136 million. Sheesh.Thoughts? That's a lot of money to pay but he was probably the best FA out there.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2615960A great ballplayer, a great ambassador for the game, and by most accounts a tremendous human being. Really sad news. I'm still angry he wasn't...

Apologies if this has already been covered in a previous diary. At the game Friday night, some Giants staffer was wandering the bleachers handing out the "tentative" 2007 schedule, and it's pretty...

Last year was Grant's rookie season in Sportsblog Nation, and it was a season full of promise. Kind of like Matt Cain, but a few years older. Some of us had witnessed evidence of his talents...

Our Jonathan pitched great in his first ML start. Then the Marlins' Anabel goes out and throws a no-hitter.Attendance in Miami: about 12,000. Those chumps don't deserve a team.

More from the Wonderful World of Weirdness that is Tsuyoshi Shinjo, courtesy of the Marinerds web site (read about this on Deadspin.com). Alas, Shinjo was only the second-weirdest participant in...

Not that this Giants team is probably going anywhere this season, trade or no, but any deals made before the deadline should include a backup infielder who can play some third base. In case you all...

Not that this is really news to anyone paying attention to league standings or box scores the past few weeks but...the American League is absolutely kicking the National League's ass. NL is 70-117...

As the beaten-down Giants fan that Felipe & Co. has made me into the last few weeks/months/years, I have quickly progressed from naive optimism about our American World Cup representatives to a...

Well, I did this before the match with the Czechs, and look how well that turned out! I'm looking forward to more insightful posts from Salemicus, more abuse from Mayor of 311, and more anti-Dave...

Time to take a break from the dismal weekend the Giants just put us through and talk some futbol.I'm writing this post 10 hours before kick-off since I won't be near a computer on Monday morning,...

I was just listening to KNBR and a caller brought up something I had noticed the past couple days on radio and TV: Jon Miller's calls of Barry Bonds' home runs number 710 and 711 have been somewhat...

Pop culture vulture and sports fan Chuck Klosterman's take on Barry's pursuit of Ruth and Aaron:http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=klosterman/060411With his somewhat obscure writing...

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2379732So Sir Sid has made the back end of the Cards' starting rotation. There's a reasonably good chance we'll see him pitching against the Gigantes at...

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2294473Willis signs 'unprecedented' $4.35M, one-year deal with the Fish. It's likely that given the mess going on in South Florida, he'll want to pitch...

I know we don't have much time for the A's on this site but let's remember the great Bill King, who also did Giants game way back when.OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Longtime Oakland Athletics radio voice...

Fellow bloggers:WHEREAS the Giants season is drawing to a close on Sunday, although I suspect Scott Eyre will still be throwing in the bullpen well into next week;WHEREAS the team holds a Fan...

OK, time to roll up the sleeves and examine the home stench of the 2005 NL West pennant race. Sorry, stretch. I meant to say stretch.First, let's work on the assumption that the Dodgers Are Evil,...

...let us take a break from the pain inflicted by Messrs. Kent, Ledee and Cruz Jr. and take comfort in those ex-Giants whose antics make us laugh -- at their expense. Ladies and gentleman, I bring...

What a crazy week. It's amazing how one poor choice of words can change everything. KNBR has fired Larry Krueger, the morning show producer, and their longtime program director.h...

I was at Chavez Ravine Friday evening taking in my first-ever game at Dodger Stadium. They have these cool new scoreboards on the outfield fences (right field shows AL scores, left field shows NL...

I don't like admitting it now, but I had a bad feeling about the 2005 Giants all the way through Spring Training. Then again, I figured the White Sox would suck again this year, so what do I know.B...
