    2015 San Francisco Giants: These laurels look pretty comfortable

    This is a very Tale of Two Cities team this season. I think they can win the division, especially because they have been so dominant against the Dodgers so far. However, they need to get into a steady rhythm and quit this whole long-win-streak/long-losing-streak pattern. So odd.    This is very...

    The 2015 NBA Finals Game Thread AKA Battle Of The Australian Institute Of Sport

    Indeed. I think you'll find, though, that among most SMC circles, there's much, much more love for Dellavedova than Mills.   Part of it is that Mills left after two years (after being injured for a good portion of the second year), so fans didn't build as much affection for him. He hasn't...

    The 2015 49ers: Busted Kap.

    Am I the only one who finds this hilarious? (Harbaugh throwing him out, not your comment.) Jed York is a piece of excrement, much like his father was a piece of excrement. If you are as shitty a boss as Jed York is, you'd probably deserve someone uttering something like this. I doubt you are...

    The 2015 NBA Finals Game Thread AKA Battle Of The Australian Institute Of Sport

    This may be the least surprising thing that's happened this entire series. Delly's expending every ounce of energy he has. I love him (GO GAELS!!!!!!), but I wonder if he can physically keep this level of play up. This, however, also works out for me because I'm pulling for the Warriors to win. ...

    2015 San Francisco Giants: These laurels look pretty comfortable

    It will be very interesting to see who gets kicked from the rotation when Peavy comes back. That will be a day-to-day decision, I think. How do you take Vogey out of the rotation? But how do you take Heston out, too?

    Pssssssssssssst 2015 edition

    This is a very interesting question. Though Vogey was a bit rough in his last couple of outings, he's done a great job overall. However, I think he's the odd one out at the moment. However, Heston isn't necessarily going to stay good. I suspect both will be better than Peavy, however.    Still...

    Don't worry, everyone, Pablo's a professional and he knows what he has to do. Just leave him alone! LEAVE PABLO ALONEEEE!!!   In all seriousness, this is what you get with Pablo Sandoval. He will look lost and awful and you'll wonder if he'll ever get a hit again, but then it'll click in and you...

    2015 San Francisco Giants: These laurels look pretty comfortable

    I think the Giants have done a very, very good job hanging in while key members are out injured. It will be interesting to see what happens when Pence comes back, but also when Peavy or Cain come back. Which spot in the rotation will they take? Vogelsong has had a couple bad outings and several...

    Red Sox, Sandoval and the Giants

    If you're a Red Sox fan, this should be terrifying:    "I'm a professional and I know what I have to do,'' said Sandoval, listed as 5-11 and 255. "I know where I've failed and how I've grown up. If I had signed (with the Giants), I knew I would be under a (weight) regimen for five years, and I'm...

    2015 San Francisco Giants: These laurels look pretty comfortable

    If you've been following Flemming for a while, he's basically said this exact thing before. So, for me, it's not a surprise. Flemming implied earlier when Pablo left (and he tweets way too much for me to go back and find it) that his brother and his agent were the ones who wanted out of San...

    Red Sox Spring training thread

      This would be relevant if the Giants didn't have a health-conscious chef that traveled with the team AND Pablo Sandoval didn't have his own personal chef (his brother, who graduated from culinary school) who was employed full-time specifically to provide Pablo Sandoval with healthy food. Also...

    Red Sox Spring training thread

    Pablo Sandoval can be good while hefty. But there's a thin line between hefty-and-hooray and hefty-and-horrible. He looks to be about where he was in October (or a little bit heavier), which is a very bad sign. He has always gained weight through the season and lost most of it in the offseason...

    2015 San Francisco Giants: These laurels look pretty comfortable

    So... looks like Vogelsong is back in play. I'd be willing to bet that Vogey does sign with the Giants. He isn't really motivated to go anywhere else, I don't think. The Giants would be coming in with a ton of starters, but they're also coming in with a ton of question marks at starter, too. So...

    Pedro, Smoltz, Biggio, and RJ get into HOF

    Neither, he will clearly go in as a San Francisco Giant, where he spent the best year of his career. ;) Actually, I suspect he will be either a blank hat or a Diamondback. It's a more important decision than most because neither the Mariners nor the Diamondbacks have a player in the Hall of...
