San Francisco Giants Chat Room

Following a professional sports team is irrational.
The entire process in itself is one that lives between the borders of irrationality. Professional athletes do not care about the casual fan in the same way that we care for them. We are outsiders looking in. We place great emphasis on who we are by who we root […]

WARNING: SERIOUS FINGER-POINTING IS ABOUT TO ENSUE
Armando Benitez has hit my last nerve. If his comments from his last blown game weren’t enough, he blows a save tonight by giving up two runs for free. Here’s how Armando “I did my job” Benitez accomplished his latest amazing feat:
Jose Reyes Walks. Jose Reyes […]

With a one-run lead in the 12th inning, the Giants asked Armando Benitez to save what would have been their best win of the season, and he most definitely did not do his job. He walked Mets leadoff hitter Jose Reyes, which is like handing two pairs of $…

Subtler signs have been out there for a while, but the absolute disinterest with which America has treated the Barry Bonds-Hall of Fame-Memorabilia for Hire story indicates to us that our national capacity for annoyance has been reached. Bonds said…

The National League All-Star voting was released Tuesday, and we discovered that folks are voting in New York, St. Louis and Milwaukee. We also noticed that San Francisco’s voter-fraud squads might be working on behalf of only one player. The Mets have…

Bonds leads Giants in All-Star voting

The chicken was not quite black, but at least it wasn’t pink and slimy. The adult beverages were flowing. The end of another great American tradition — the three-day weekend — was upon us so the guy faction of the family BBQ did what it does best, collapse…

I made my first venture to Mays Field on Saturday night, only to catch a miserable and boring 6-1 loss on an unbelievably cold night, where the only highlight for the Giants was the latest Steve Kline hissy fit.
Here’s a little bit of brilliant prognosticating on my part. This is what I wrote before the […]

Mailbag: Would the Giants trade Morris?

Westward, ho: A vote for the ages

Giants gets Bonds homer but fall to Rox

When the Giants lose to the Rockies, they tend not to simply lose. When the Giants lose to the Rockies they tend to bring their ugliest, most brutal and nauseating play, filled with defensive miscues, 3 pitch offensive innings, blown late leads or starters suddenly unable to find the strike zone.
 This series is especially frustrating because the […]

Bonds breaks drought with homer 746

Notes: Durham could hit DL

Defense downs Morris, Giants

Notes: Bonds’ earring returns

Amount of starts this season where Matt Cain has given up one or less runs: 6
W/L Record: 2-4
Two wins to show for the effort he gives. What’s better, is that after taking the loss for tonights game, Armando Benitez continues his streak of never taking responsibility for anything:
I’m doing my job, I […]
