Loading ...No big deals soon for the Orange and Black (Giants Win)
Posted November 19, 2008 at 9:05 pmHenry Schulman of the SF Chron blogs that the Giants don’t appear to be revving up for a big free agent signing or trade any time soon. He cites several reasons why Furcal may not be signed, says there’s little interest by the Brewers in making a deal for JJ Hardy or Prince Fielder and says Keichi Yabu will probably be back on …

Posted November 12, 2008 at 1:26 pmThe Giants would like to make a trade for a good hitter. But then they’d have to trade something good to get back something good. Hey, you know who’s good? Matt Cain! I wonder what we can trade Matt Cain for. Maybe they could replenish the farm system. Maybe they could trade Matt Cain for three prospects. And then, when those prospects turn into good …

Posted October 12, 2008 at 7:38 amI have posted little of late due both to my work schedule and the relative calm that descends on sub-par teams before the mad scramble of the offseason. During my absence, the Giants surrendered Travis Denker to the dreaded Padres. However, despite the furor surrounding this move (possibly necessitated by the pointless Gillaspie callup), the [...]

Posted October 9, 2008 at 2:36 pmWhile more competent teams square off in the League Championship series, we as Giants fans wait patiently for the offseason to begin so that in just 6 short months, we can be the 2009 San Francisco Giants: Contenders Ready to Win it All*. Before we get hasty though, we need to come back to reality [...]

Posted October 1, 2008 at 12:39 pmNote: There’s an open playoff thread below this post in case you were wondering.
In case you weren’t sure for whom you wanted to root in the playoffs, here’s a handy list of my suggestions based on a Giantscentric worldview. I’m eliminating guys like Scott Linebrink, Bobby Howry, and Carlos Villanueva, who really didn’t do enough in the Giants organization to make an impression. David Aardsma …

Posted September 29, 2008 at 8:48 amThe Giants’ season is over.
Whew.
I think we’ll all look back at the ‘08 Giants as a team in transition. We were bad, but we weren’t that bad. Well, not 100-loss-bad like many of us expected. The Giants finished the year in 4th place in the National League West with a record of 72-90. That’s not [...]

Posted September 17, 2008 at 9:48 pmFor one game, the Milwaukee Brewers got by minus Ben Sheets. Beyond that, who knows? The All-Star righty left after two innings because of a tender elbow but the Brewers, boosted by Prince Fielder’s three-run double, beat the Chicago Cubs 6-2 Wednesday night…

Posted September 17, 2008 at 12:36 pmThe SF Chron’s Henry Schulman says it looks like the Giants will try to sign Prince Fielder in the off-season. He notes that Ishikawa and Sandoval appear to be the best in-house options at first for the time being.I would have to say that the production from Giants first-basemen for the past decade has to be among the lousiest in MLB.

Posted September 16, 2008 at 11:22 pmPHOENIX — The Giants could sign Pat Burrell. They could trade for Adrian Beltre or Prince Fielder. They could exhume Babe Ruth’s body. Heck, they could even bring back Barry Bonds.
