Foward-Thinking Nostalgia Hour (McCovey Chronicles: Front Page Posts)

Posted September 5, 2008 at 12:01 pm

It’s hard to believe, but after writing close to 400,000 words about bad Giants teams over the past few years, I was starting to get a little burned out on Giants baseball. This marginal prospect almost excites me…this veteran might be tradable…this reliever has a good arm, but he can’t seem to get outs…this starting pitcher needs to find his consistency…. It’s been the same …

Worst Giants Team: Pitching Edition (Bay City Ball)

Posted September 4, 2008 at 7:44 am

In yesterday’s post (scroll down) I started to compile a roster of the worst Giants from 1983-2008, or the least successful seasons of Giants ballplayers over the time period that I’ve been alive and a fan of baseball. Yes, I was a fan of baseball at 1-month-old, if not fully aware, my love for baseball [...]

Post-Game Musings (McCovey Chronicles: Front Page Posts)

Posted September 3, 2008 at 5:20 pm

When Joe Lefebvre was fired last year, most of us yawned. The offense was bad, sure, but how much of that was Lefebvre’s fault, and how much of that was the fault of the octogenarians in the lineup? I had my own problems with Lefebvre –a painful and deep-rooted phobia of silent letters, for one – but I had no idea if he was …

Worst, team, EVER. (Bay City Ball)

Posted September 3, 2008 at 10:18 am

Stealing an idea from U.S.S. Mariner, I thought it would be fun to construct a roster full of the worst players ever to play for the San Francisco Giants.

Posted August 30, 2008 at 12:00 am

Omar Vizquel would like to wear a Giants uniform next year, be it in San Francisco or maybe Tokyo. The 41-year-old shortstop wants to play in 2009, and if he cannot find a job in the majors, he might look to the Far East. “If I cannot find something…
