Plain and simple, the Giants will not win the NL West unless they start improving against the Rockies, Padres, and Dodgers.  Some of the most horrific stretches of play this season have come against teams in our own division, and as such have dug us into a bit of a hole here in July. Out...

Amidst the Corey Hart rumors, there’s one name out there that may be a little more affordable and lot more effective.  Royals outfield David DeJesus has come up in talks, as Henry Schulman claims that a top talent evaluator was at the Giants/Mets game last night.  The real question here is what the 30...

The report came in today that the Giants have signed lefty Dontrelle Willis to a minor league deal.  With Willis reporting to Fresno for league minimum, it’s hard to hate this deal.  It costs us very little from a financial standpoint, and gives us some added insurance down in AAA should something go wrong.

I’m repeating myself when I say that there’s no shame in being shut out by Ubaldo Jimenez.  The guy is a space assassin from  the Glornak 7 galaxy, sent to make a struggling Giants offense look even worse than they normally do.  On his home world he was genetically engineered in a lab and...

After an inspiring sweep of a less than formidable Diamondbacks team finished off by a resilient extra-innings victory, game one against the division rival Rockies didn’t go quite as well.  And predictably so.  Honestly, there’s no shame in getting shut out by Ubaldo Jimenez, a guy with a 0.78 ERA.  He has yet to...

So begins the Buster Posey Era in San Francisco.  Sort of.  According to the higher-ups, the plan is to start Posey five times a week with a bulk of his time coming at first base, moving Aubrey Huff to left, and leaving the slumping Bengie Molina behind the plate. While there is a plan to...
