How the National League West will be won … by the biggest loser

John Kruk made a bold statement on ESPN’s SportsCenter on Sunday: “No team in the NL West will finish with a .500 record.” OK, maybe that’s not such a daring prediction since every team in the NL Worst is below .500 at the All-Star break.Arizona is flirting with .500 at 47-48, but everyone else in [...]

From Hero to Zero

We’ve heard of He Hate Me. But He Hate Z? Even Giants fans are hatin’ on Barry Zero, I mean Zito, who last year signed the worst contract in the history of mankind and has yet to win a game for San Francisco this season. Zito, who went to UCSB with our boy BG for [...]

Giants Fall 60 Games Out of First, Hire Hillary Clinton As Special Advisor

In a stunning move, Brian Sabean and the Giants have hired long shot presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton as a Special Advisor to the team.
