Captaincy Controversy: Just Let Marleau and Thornton Play
When San Jose Sharks Head Coach Todd McClellan announced last month that the Sharks would begin training camp with the captain and alternate positions up for grabs, his words were clearly very carefully chosen.

The Friday Four
Giants outscore Phillies, lose series
The San Francisco Giants offense is atrocious, but you already knew that. I don’t understand how a front office full of professional talent scouts and baseball experts can’t recognize that just one real clean up hitter would make the Giants the best team in the National League West.
They’ve had chances to [...]

Something Special Comes to Golden State
Prior to the start of the 2006 NCAA college basketball season, Davidson’s head coach Bob McKillop spoke at one of the college’s alumni event. “Wait till you see Steph Curry. He is something special,” McKillop said.

Niners Defense Key to Success
There’s been a lot of talk about San Francisco 49ers quarterback Shaun Hill, who claimed the starting quarterback position and ended the longstanding competition with his middling counterpart Alex Smith, and even more coverage on the ongoing drama of Michael Crabtree’s “show me the money” holdout until the 2010 season. Indeed, the self-proclaimed “from the [...]

Kazmir Traded to Angels
The one knock on the Los Angeles Angels throughout the 2009 season is that their starting pitching has been inconsistent and weak. As of Friday, their starters’ ERA was an atrocious 4.96. The addition of Kazmir brings a reliable playoff-tested starter to eat innings and take the ball in big game situations.
Despite being just [...]

Ethier Rising as Bums Crumble
The Dodgers slow, but steady, decline in the NL West has been precipitated by the now well-documented second-half shortcomings of Manny Ramirez, who has simply ceased to hit for power and drive in runs. While the struggles of the dreadlocked superstar have certainly hastened the truncation of Los Angeles’ once unassailable division lead, right fielder [...]

Sabean’s Best Years Behind Him
With Monday night’s devastating loss against the Colorado Rockies and a struggle to post the win in last night’s outing against the Arizona Diamond Backs, the San Francisco Giants are exposing themselves for what they really are—a team whose offense is rendered useless.

Singletary’s Choice Settles Crabtree-less Offense
The record will show that halfway through the 2009 NFL preseason, Mike Singletary and his coaching staff decided they had seen enough to judge the 49ers’ quarterback battle in favor of Shaun Hill. However, the mood around 49ers camp has always leaned towards Hill being named starter. It’s certainly no secret that Niner nation has [...]
