During the first inning of Sunday’s game against the Rangers, Nick Swisher showcased one of the better mound assaults we’ve ever seen.
The background: Swisher hit a home run in each of the first three games of the four-game series. When Vicente Padilla hit him in his first...

As the Giants and A’s wrap up their respective wastes of a season, we’d like to take a moment to reflect on one of the most painful baseball summers in recent history.
But let’s take a moment to consider just how lucky the Bay Area has been in terms of putting out...

We’re not sure if anyone’s still here, but hopefully you’ve dialed into the RSS feed and are back, like us.
Dearest Golden State Warriors,
We love you. Really, we do. Since the dark days of Terry Teagle, we’ve been by your side, and truth be told, we’re...

It’s official: the Warriors will place Sarunas Jasikevicius on waivers after agreeing on a buyout with the backup point guard. It’s a shame, because Sarunas never really fit in with the team and seemed like a swell former Communist.
In the end, despite the Warriors&rsquo...

We know that this isn’t exactly related to the Bay Area, but since we A) are in a Euro basketball mood and B) love all things Finnish, we couldn’t resist: 41-year-old Scottie Pippen is going to play professionally for Finland’s Helsinki-based ToPo team:
Former Chicago...

A couple weeks ago, we revealed the new Sharks logo, complete with goldenrod eyes and cartoony meanness.
Yesterday, the Sharkies finally unveiled the actual uniforms; the biggest difference is the incorporation of the goldenrod stripes as the main accents. You’ll remember??...

… for giving us a smile all those mornings.
… for capturing the city like no other.
… for showing us what it means to be a true Giants fan.
… for reminding us that life is, indeed, beautiful.

With last night’s loss to the Diamondbacks, the Giants were officially eliminated from the playoffs, about three months after they were unofficially eliminated. Of note: Jonathan Sanchez had some bright moments in his start and hard-throwing rookie Erick Threets made his major...

Good lord, is this the longest baseball season ever or what?
The preseason seems like a promise-filled, somewhat hopeful lifetime ago. March was a far cry from the doldrums of the tear-stained September we are experiencing now.
Remember when Brian Sabean compared this 2007 squad to...

… Or Barry Zito has a very good publicist.
To wit, here is part of the Chronicle columnist’s article today:
Meanwhile, photographs by pitcher Barry Zito (quickly becoming a boldface regular) are featured in the first issue of the Men’s Book, San Francisco magazine...

In case you haven’t noticed, with all due apologies to Randy Winn, this is how to get excited about the upcoming baseball season.
Before or since, has there ever been a more appropriate nickname than “The Thrill”?
And then, we started the great “Give Will...

So apparently, the cool thing to do on the interblognets around the turn of the calendar year is to look back on the year that was. Thus, we’re proud to present the first annual Say Heys, est. 1959.

The scene: the 1989 NLCS. Giants v. Cubs. Will Clark at the plate versus Mitch “the Wild Thing” Williams. 1-1 tie ballgame.
Robby Thompson! Brett Butler! Candy Maldonado! Roger Craig! Real Fans! The ‘Stick! Hummm baby!
The game seemed so much more pure back then, no?

What’s good people?
As seen above, our boy JP over at FRiSCOFiTTEDTV has continued to pump out those game recaps. He actually has a lot of valiant points, and because we want him to succeed, we’d like to offer some words of advice for our aspiring mini-Gary Radnich.

It seems like yesterday, but Brian Johnson’s epic game-winning homerun took place nearly a decade ago, almost to the day. Has it really been ten years?
Johnson grew up in Oakland, attending Skyline High School. He lettered in the three major sports, and was even Gary Payton&rsquo...

Your San Francisco 49ers proved they were merely the second-worst team on the field last night, not losing to the Arizona Cardinals 20-17. Alex Smith “clearly regressed in form from a year ago.” Arnaz Battle fumbled the ball in his own end zone in the last minute (luckily...

Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please. After this past summer of painful baseball at Pac Bell and the Coliseum, we really didn’t think it could get worse.
We were wrong.
During the month of October, not one sports team in the 415 or 510 area code won a single game. (And...

This is probably the best tribute to Rod Beck we’ve seen. It’s just from Fox Bay Area’s feed from the Giants’ own tribute earlier this summer. Watching those highlights makes us feel warm and cozy. Seems like a lifetime ago.
