Picking a most-hated Dodger is like picking the worst piece of licorice out of the bag. It's a bag of evil; there's no point picking the worst one. Not to mention, I'm pretty sure licorice makes you sterile. Except for the Steve Garvey pieces, of course. Those are as...

Yet Another Open Letter to the Giants
October 15, 2009 by
McCovey Chronicles
| Comments
Dear Giants,
Eugenio Velez cannot hit left-handed pitching. He was unable to hit left-handed pitching in the minors, and he's been unable to hit it in the majors. Considering this, and considering that he isn't Ryan Howard against right-handed pitchers, he should not start...
Another Open Letter to the Giants

Dear Giants,
When wondering if Buster Posey is ready to hit in the majors, ask yourself this question: "Can he somehow manage to have the third-worst on-base percentage in baseball?" If you think the answer is "yes," congratulations. You're on your way...

Dear Giants,
Pablo Sandoval led your team in walks this season. Please ponder the significance of that tidbit throughout this offseason.
Sincerely, McCovey Chronicles

I don’t want to alarm you, but I’m about to take a bold position. I’m about to write something that challenges everything you think you know about the San Francisco Giants.

Gee, I don't know why I should hate the offseason. I'm trying to think of a reason, but I'm drawing a blank.

Dodger (and Trade Deadline) Hate
October 09, 2009 by
McCovey Chronicles
| Comments
Back at the trade deadline, I wrote the following:
Forget Freddy Sanchez. I don't have a problem with average-dependent players, per se, but this one is hurt. We'll give up a top prospect, but we'll only get 107 at-bats of nothingness.
Forget Ryan Garko. He'll...
Sour Grapes and the Giants

After putting my daughter to bed last night, I sat on the couch and watched the Dodgers/Cardinals game. I had a glass of Bulleit Bourbon on one side and a gigantic cat on the other. I sipped the bourbon. I watched some baseball. I skritched the cat.

The cup of rum was an offering for you, baseball gods, yet the Dodgers still won.
You have to love the empty seats behind home plate at Dodger Stadium, too. There's no excuse. Traffic? Leave earlier. It's the playoffs. And if that doesn't mean anything to you, give...

Rooting Interests

I hate the Rockies. Hate them, hate them, hate them. I hate that they couldn’t win a single game against the Braves in 1993. I hate that they went 7-13 against the Diamondbacks in 2001. I hate that Neifi Perez existed, and I hate that he hit a home run in what used to be...
