San Francisco Giants Chat Room

Once the Astros’ Craig Biggio reaches 3,000 hits, Barry Bonds will be next up should he choose to play in 2008 and chase the milestone. Biggio entered Monday’s game with 2,970 hits, Bonds with 2,872. Biggio said he wants to see Bonds reach 3,000 but said the…

Once upon a time, former Commissioner Ford Frick thought letting the fans vote for the All-Star Game starters was a good idea. Then Cincinnati happened in 1957, and seven of the eight Reds starters were voted onto the team despite the fact that maybe two…

Jason Giambi might be the most affable star in baseball, easygoing, funny, fundamentally humble, sort of in awe of where life has taken him, as regular a guy as you’ll ever find in his income bracket. His good nature and eagerness to please have pushed him…

There have been few times in Bruce Bochy’s first season as Giants manager that he could lean back in his office chair after a ballgame and offer the five words he uttered Monday night: “It couldn’t have gone better,” Bochy said after the Giants beat…

Former San Francisco Giants first baseman and Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda is not being prosecuted at this time after being arrested by the California Highway Patrol in Solano County this month for allegedly having drugs in his vehicle, authorities said…

Giants reward Lowry’s gem with win

By quirk, I’ve watched more of Lowry’s starts than any other Giants pitcher this year. The man has a 3.04 ERA, but I feel like no 3.04 ERA in the history of baseball has had more sheer terror in it. Every time I watch Lowry he’s scraping out of bases loaded jams, giving up lead-off […]

Notes: Giants go to the dogs

Morris plays stopper in win over A’s

These days, I don’t carry nearly the same animus toward the A’s that I had in the late-80’s when they trotted out their collection of numbskulls with bad mullets and unnaturally large biceps. Heck, I even like them quite a bit now, with their low budget success thing making them perennially easy to root for. Getting swept by […]

Notes: Ortiz deals well with move to ‘pen

So, the starting pitching has not been as good since mid-April. Their strength is still keeping the ball in the yard. The strikeouts have started coming but the walks have been a problem. Zito has been the worst offender with the walks, […]

Giants’ late rally falls short in loss to A’s

Notes: Ortiz headed to bullpen

Before the commencement of the 2007 baseball season, there were two MVN writer leagues created, one by me, a non-keeper on Yahoo, and one by our esteemed baseball director, Cory Humes, a keeper league on ESPN. The non-keeper on Yahoo is 16 teams, with the typical 5×5 categories, plus OPS, BB, Holds, and CG […]

Zito battered in return to Oakland

Notes: Durham rests sore groin

Stunned is the only word that describes my reaction to Tim Lincecum’s outting tonight against the Astros, helping the Giants avoid a painful three game sweep at the hands of a fellow .500 team. The Enchanter was mixing in 95-97 fastballs with an unhittable curve and an absolutely beautiful changeup at 86 mph. […]

Lincecum, Winn lift Giants vs. Houston
