Let's just come right out and say it: the Giants, now 8-10, had a crappy week. They went two-and-five against teams that, even without Barry Bonds (whose return is still shrouded in steroid-enhanced mystery) and Moises Alou (who returned to action on Friday night and hit his first homerun as a Giant on Sunday), they should have won at least four games. Until this point, the Giants' offense had been the bright spot of the... [continue]

Having recuperated from a recent bout of baseball-related mathematiasis, SFist comes to you this fine Monday afternoon from sunny Denver bearing a first-hand report of yesterday's Giants/Rockies finale at Coors Field, along with a look back at the Giants' performance in past week and a peek ahead at the week to come. The story so far for this year, with the Giants leading the Majors with .305 team batting average but languishing at 15th in... [continue]

We spent the past few months obsessing over the Giants' offseason moves and the past few weeks wondering if all of our worst fears about the team's collective age were coming true. We spent Tuesday afternoon at opening day at the ballpark and, looking down on the diamond as the Giants soundly beat the hated Dodgers 4-2, we came to this simple conclusion: the 2005 Giants are a really good team and we're really looking...

It's opening day and if you know what's good for you you'll ditch work, head down to the ballpark, and try to get someone's extra ticket. The Giants welcome--Could that possibly be the right word?--the Dodgers today to start the season and, looking out the window at today's beautiful weather, there isn't a better place in the world to be right now than at Willie Mays Field at SBC Park. Jason Schmidt will throw the... [continue]

We're sorry to bring you the sad news, but SFist has just received confirmation from an inside source at the Coronet Theater that this Thursday, March 17th, will be the last day in operation for the storied but doomed movie palace. Sounds like we're going to have to watch Revenge of the Sith at some crappy multiplex. Yuck. If you haven't seen Gazillion Dollar Baby, we recomend that you go see it at the Coronet... [continue]

While we here in the -ist empire are struggling to cover the globe with our pithy observations and bad puns, we must offer grudging respect to Craig's List, for whom the world is clearly not enough. While writing a CL post to sell off some of our Giants tickets, the posting form asked us if it was "ok to transmit this posting into outer space." What the fuh? Huh? Whu the fah? FhwauH?
