Loading ...Lincecum Deals (Across the Seams)
Posted June 26, 2007 at 5:37 amNow that’s what we like to see out of Tim Lincecum. Seven innings of shutout ball, four hits, four walks, eight strikeouts. The stadium radar gun even had him hitting 100 mph in the first. The woeful Giants offense played along, giving Lincecum a small lead to work with. Vizquel…

Posted June 25, 2007 at 5:13 amRod Beck died over the weekend, causes undisclosed. He was 38. I’ll always remember him for getting the win in one of the greatest Giants games ever, the Brian Johnson HR game against the Dodgers in 1997. Beck entered in the 10th and gave up three straight hits to load…

Posted June 24, 2007 at 1:28 pmWe haven’t heard the how or the why yet: just the who, what, and where:
Rod Beck.
Died.
In his Arizona home.
Wow.
He was 38 and had young kids. What a horrible, appalling loss for his family. My thoughts go out to them, and to anybody to whom he was important.
For years, Beck has been the closer on my all-time favorite Giants team. How could one not like the …

Posted June 24, 2007 at 6:11 amThe win streak is at one, but the way the Giants reacted you would have thought they had just won the World Series. Players mobbed Nate Schierholtz after he singled in the winning run in the 13th, with some guys leaving their feet to hit the dogpile. They just got…

Posted June 20, 2007 at 6:28 amWith the Giants in Milwaukee, there’s been a lot of Aaron nostalgia during the games. I was 11 when Aaron hit 715. I was at my friend Jim’s house, playing ball out back, like we always did. Jim’s father popped his head out to tell us to come watch the…

Posted June 20, 2007 at 6:07 amEvery season it gets worse. I mean my desire to watch interleague baseball. Do you really give a rat’s behind about the Marlins-White Sox? A’s-Reds? Pirates-Mariners? OK, that last one is kinda funny. Watching the Giants in Fenway was interesting, at least until the games actually started. The Giants looked…

Posted June 20, 2007 at 5:06 amThe “blecchh”-style noise hasn’t been invented yet that can accurately and fully encapsulate the horror that is the 2007 San Francisco Giants. Remember way back when the Giants’ biggest worry was whether Barry Bonds would bat third or fourth? I sure miss those halcyon days, don’t you? Back then the Giants had a double-play combination that was solid on offense and defense; a starting rotation …
