An SF Giants fan was killed on Friday night after getting into a physical altercation outside AT&T Park, suffering major injuries to his head after being hit. 18 year old Anthony Giraudio responded to a comment about a female companion he was with when he was hit and fell, hitting his head on   more...

I suppose all good things must come to an end some time and that includes the insanity surrounding Barry Zito and his 0-7 start this season.Zito who signed an 7 year $126 million dollar contract with the San Fransisco Giants with an option for an eight season at $18 million had been relegated to   more...

I appreciate everything Aaron Rowand did for the Phillies. He brought grit and tenacity to the clubhouse, and put up some decent numbers while here only 2 seasons. "The Catch" is a story I'll be telling my son about in years to come. However, I bleed Phillies red and I could give less than two   more...

The usually reliable bullpen came up short today for the Phillies, failing to protect a one run lead in the later innings. Adam Eaton started the game and had major control issues, walking 5 batters in 5 innings, but he managed to keep most of the damage off the scoreboard, holding the Giants to   more...

We here at the Sports Muffin love Barry Zito. We think he's Zito-rific. But we're sad to see that Barry's been missing from the San Francisco Giants in recent days. The last time we saw him was over a week ago now (April 27) - we were told he was making a trip to the bullpen. But we haven't seen   more...

Dear San Francisco Giants,Thank you for signing Barry Zito. He keeps me entertained on my lunch breaks. Today your 100+ million dollar man gave up countless hits, walked the bases loaded and had 4 earned runs. Please keep him around so we can see him go defeated. Sincerely,Pelechati

Jimmy Rollins rolled into San Fran, deposited himself in the starting lineup in his customary leadoff spot, and promptly went 3-5 with a run, double, homerun, and 3 rbi. Welcome back J-Roll, we missed ya! Jimmy's obviously a motivator, he hustles his booty off on the field, and plays with a fiery   more...

As soon as the Toronto Blue Jays released Frank Thomas rumors began to fly that they would be interested in Barry Bonds. Talk of Bonds in a Jays uniform has silenced, but if they hope to contend this season they should seriously consider bringing in baseball's home run king.

This is almost a half hour of footage of Barry Bonds taking on a Japanese comedian for some Japanese television show. You get to see some of Barry at his bulked up best, cranking balls left and right out of a small ballpark in California, beating the crap out of his opponent in a live action   more...

If no one watched it, did the Phillies really lose? In a game that was blacked out across the country, the Phillies fell to the Giants 8-2. It was the first time since June 2006 that the Phillies game wasn't on, and it wasn't a bad game to have missed.The Giants young ace Tim Lincecum shut down the   more...

Well the good news is Barry is out of the starting rotation.........the bad news???Visions of Armando Benitez flutter through my brain as I imagine the Giants clinging to leads only to watch them evaporate faster than box of Slim Jims on Rosie O'Donnells night stand. This is not a good idea.

I was reading some bits from the Fanhouse, and saw that Buster Olney is reporting the MLB Player's Union is investigating possible collusion regarding Barry Bond's current unemployment. This just in: it is apparently collusion if people that are not interested in you, do not enlist your services.   more...

More evidence for the affect a contract year has on a player's performance: Pat Burrell's 2008 season. Burrell, who has been putting up consistent numbers year in and year out for the Phillies, continues to crush the ball this season better than he has in his entire career. In tonight's game   more...

I think they should let the guy surf, do yoga, call Alyssa Milano, whatever it takes to get his head back in to the game.
