Awesome, awesome, awesome. Not only was Tim Lincecum's second straight Cy a huge pick-me-up for Giants fans, it was a big vindication for people who have let go of the hidebound notion that wins and losses in a pitcher's record is a leading indicator of talent. It can be, but it doesn't have to ...

Looks like Jason Schmidt is going to retire . For many Giants fans, Schmidt was purged from the history books when he signed with the Dodgers after the 2006 season. Then he really disappeared: A total of 10 games in three years with L.A. thanks to a series of injuries that were about as ...

For those of you not down with classic '70s soul, the answer is "Haft!" As in Chris, as in the beat writer for sfgiants.com and a former daily newspaperman. The number of real news outlets is ever dwindling, as is the number of real, paid reporters competing for baseball news. Haft's ...

It's finally time. Hot Stove Time. Thank you, Chase Utley and Cliff Lee, for making the World Series remotely interesting. Otherwise, yawn. In the post-game celebrations, Mark Teixeira thanked God for steering him toward New York. I ...

"Bam-Bam" Meulens is officially the new hitting coach. What looks like a Giants press release is being relayed by Comcast Sports Net , and it cites Meulens' work with John Bowker (.342 batting average in the PCL last year) and Jesus Guzman (.321) as key ...

He doesn't have his mountain beard anymore, but Johnny Damon's double steal in tonight's top of the ninth was not only the coolest heads-up play I've ever seen, it was probably the reason Brad Lidge fell apart and allowed the deciding three runs. For those who missed it, it was two down in the ...

I've been off the grid for 24 hours, part of which was spent here stuffing my face here , but plugging back in I've found two items of good news. First, Gavin Newsom has dropped out of the governor's race. I thought for a while early in his first term he would be a standard-bearer of sensible ...

I'm home for October, watching playoff baseball from afar. I'm already
starting to rethink my rotation as we head into the Hot Stove season. In this month's installment, I'm getting ready to say goodbye to former heroes who've tried to hang on too long, I'm looking at familiar veterans with the ...
