Bobby Thomson, the hero of the 1951 National League Championship and hitter of the shot heard ’round the world, passed away late Monday night at the age of 86 at his home in Savannah, Ga. He had been in failing health for a few years. Bobby Thomson hit his pennant clinching home run against the [...]

The San Francisco Giants start a crucial three game series against the San Diego Padres tomorrow at 7:15. The Padres (67-46) are 2.5 games ahead of the Giants (66-50) in the National League West Standings. This is one of the three times the Giants play the Padres for the rest of the season. Earlier this [...]

The Giants are going for a three game sweep of the Dodgers tonight. The game time was moved to around 5 o’clock Pacific so it could be broadcasted on ESPN’s Sunday night baseball. The last time the Giants had a chance to sweep the Dodgers in San Francisco was in 2006 and the last time [...]

The San Francisco Giants aquifer left handed relief pitcher Javier Lopez from the Pirates for Joe Martinez. Lopez has a 2.79 ERA this year and I think this is a good trade for the Giants because they really needed a left handed pitcher. The trade deadline is officially over but news of trades is still [...]

The San Francisco Giants won again tonight putting them 1.5 games ahead of both the Cardinals and the Reds for first place in the National League Wild Card standings and only 2.5 games behind the Padres for first place in the NL West standings. The Giants are 57-44 this season and 10-4 since the all-star [...]

The Giants are very understandable hesitant to complete this trade because pitching is a very important part of their game. I think if they were going to trade either of the two they should trade Sanchez [...]

Now that the Giants have reached the unofficial halfway point of the season, a.k.a. the all-star break, it is time for me to do what I did last year and write a midseason report reviewing the first half of the 2010 season. I will do this in the same format as I did last year. [...]

I will make this short and simple. I think Spain will beat the Netherlands 2-1 in the World Cup finals and I think Germany will win the third place game 2-0.

So now that the Bengie Molina trade has sunk in and Buster Posey is 4-7 in the past two games (the first two games without Bengie) and has started at catcher once and will probably catch every other day the question comes up on whether this was really a good trade. The Giants traded Bengie [...]

The Giants recently announced that they have traded everyday catcher Bengie Molina to the Texas Rangers for right handed pitcher Chris Ray and a player to be named later. The Giants will also send an additional $2 million with Molina to cover both his and Chris Ray’s contracts. The trade has not been made completely [...]
