Not much in the way of highlights today: (a) The AZL Giants won their division championship, and earned the right to face the Mariners rookies Monday for the AZL Championship (one game to win it all); (b) Oliver Odle threw six solid innings for San Jose, allowing one earned run...
Making Sense of Brad Penny and the Giants

There was a post all ready about the highs and lows of sports. It was beautiful and poignant. It compared being a Giantsfan to the fall of Carthage, and it referenced John Cougar Mellancamp and James Joyce in the same sentence. You would have been amazed.
Instead, the Giants signed...

Sez so right here. If you want to know if that's a move that makes sense, you'd probably get a better answer from this stats dork.
It's going to be really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really...
Post-Game Recap: The Giants Win? The Giants Win!

After Ryan Garko dribbled a deadline special to Ian Stewart with the bases loaded in the sixth inning. I turned the radio off. The Giants had second and third with no one out. Molina whiffed. Pablo whiffed, albeit on a joke of a call. And then…poof. Inning over. The Giants...

In a pathetic attempt to escape from the lack of RISP hitting Edgar Renteria-powered day of We're In This, it's PLAYOFF days in the Giants system. The highlights: (a) Connecticut splits their double-header, meaning they are division champs and are going to the playoffs...

I love it when you call me Big Panda. Throw your hands in the air if the top of the ninth inning made you soil your shorts, and also if youse a true player.

A Slice of Optimism

McCovey Chronicles

The whole "Giants as significant other" analogy has been done. I think I’ve done it a couple of times, usually portraying the organization as an unfaithful spouse asking for another chance. It just fits so well, though. You have an interest, the interest hurts you...
Post-Game Thread: Giants Ruin a Perfectly Good Rant
August 26, 2009 by

Whatever.
The only way Doug Davis gets through even five innings is if he's facing a brainless, undisciplined lineup. Either Carney Lansford has no clue just how undisciplined the lineup is, the players don't listen to him, or hitting coaches have absolutely no effect...

Freaking Out About Division Rivals
August 26, 2009 by

In 2001, the Giants didn't make the playoffs for a lot of reasons. The starting pitching was inconsistent, there was a revolving black hole at third base, and Barry Bonds was only on base 52% of the time. The team won 90 games, but it was a bitter finish. And I spent the entire...

After losing two out of three from the Rockies over the weekend, the Giants needed this. They jumped out in front early, and they never looked back, cruising to an easy win.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm just going to change my urine-soaked jeans, and get on with my n....
