San Francisco Giants Chat Room

Notes: Teammates sad to see Morris go

Police found evidence of cocaine and drug paraphernalia at former major league pitcher Rod Beck’s home on the day he died. A police report released Tuesday indicated evidence in several places at Beck’s house, including the bathroom and the master bedroom in…

Giants send Morris to Bucs for Davis

The Giants traded Matt Morris for a 27 year old switch hitter named Rajai Davis and a PTBNL. Davis is essentially a 4th outfielder at best who has the potential to grow into… a slightly better 4th outfielder. Looking at his stats, Davis has a decent eye but hits for slightly […]

Since the trade deadline has come and gone with Sabes performing his best “Stand” Pat Gillick impersonation, I thought it worth quickly pointing out that inactivity does not equal failure. Players with multi-year contracts can be moved in August or during the summer and free agents-to-be can be tidily converted into valuable […]

In a stunning deal announced shortly after today’s trade deadline, the Giants sent pitcher Matt Morris to the Pittsburgh Pirates for speedy center fielder Rajai Davis and a player to be named. That the Giants traded Morris is not a surprise. He was…

A few hours after the Giants announced general manager Brian Sabean’s contract extension July 13, rookie outfielder Fred Lewis ran to left field in an empty stadium to take flyballs and some instruction from outfield coach Willie Upshaw. The…

Nobody, not even Barry Bonds, can predict how he will feel if he ties or breaks Henry Aaron’s all-time home run record at Dodger Stadium and the fans boo as he rounds the bases. Bonds has passed many milestones, mostly at home, but one must believe that none…

The usual shadow over A’s baseball grew especially long Monday, in light of Bill Walsh’s death and the storm gathering over Barry Bonds’ arrival at Dodger Stadium, but it’s always there. You wouldn’t say it’s a curse, or that it haunts anyone. On the…

Mailbag: Why is Zito struggling so much?

Broadcasters seek to capture Bonds’ moment

Cal Ripken Jr. and Tony Gwynn took their place in baseball’s shrine Sunday, saluted as much for their Hall of Fame careers as their character off the field. Commissioner Bud Selig and a record crowd came to cheer them and all that was good about the game….

Baseball history took a detour toward hostile territory Sunday as fans at AT&T Park glumly watched Barry Bonds go without a home run during the last game of the Giants homestand. The Giants lost the game, too. It was a sour way to send the team…

Sunday’s Marlins-Giants game was billed … well, OK, way down at the bottom of the bill in batteries-not-included type … as Matt Morris’ Maybe Last Game as a Giant. The trade deadline is upon us, and the Giants need help from the market in a serious way.

Barry Bonds changed channels with his remote before Sunday’s game, switching between the Yankees-Orioles pregame show and tape of an at-bat between Sergio Mitre and Dave Roberts. Giants hitters hardly had any experience against Mitre. In fact, Roberts…

The Giants fly to Los Angeles today to begin a three-game series, and Dave Roberts made a plea to Dodgers fans to be respectful of Barry Bonds and the record he’s pursuing. Bonds finished the homestand one homer behind Henry Aaron’s 755. “There…

When it comes to production, April is so three months ago Remember those heady days of April, when a guy you thought was going to be a liability produced to seemingly plug a hole in your lineup? Oh, how the pendulum has swung. That player is in…
