A's 2 Red Sox 0- Before we begin our recap, we'd like to give our condolences to Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson as it appears Kawen is no more. Or was that Ote? Eh, who knows. Anyways, the A's mojo once again kept on keeping on as they have now taken two straight from the Sox of Red, shutting out one of the best lineups in baseball. And, yes, they beat Dice K who, despite......

Sharks 3 Predators 2- SFist did something we haven't done in a long time-- watched a hockey game. Well, the last period at least. For those who've never watched playoff hockey, it's great fun. The sport is already pretty intense with it's speed and occasional bouts of violence and the intensity is turned up several notches during the playoffs. Especially when one is facing elimination. Other than a minute of action, when the Predators scored......

-In JRich's first game back, the Warriors beat the Memphis Grizzlies in overtime 118-115. Monta Ellis had nine points in overtime to lead the way and Richardson had 19 points and 10 rebounds in his game back. The columnists think the Warriors will have delusions of grandeur and decide to stand pat during trade talks but that doesn't stop Golden State of Mind from linking to all the rumors out there concerning the Warriors. ...

-The Warriors get a big lead, lose a big lead, then regain a big lead as they beat the NY Knicks. Tim Kawakami thinks the Warriors need to tank the season by giving Patrick O’Bryant some playing time. ...

-Stanford men lose to Washington State, Cal men lose to Washington. -Stanford women beats the snot out of Washington State, Cal women lose to Washington. Got that? -Bud Selig was in town yesterday to squirm uncomfortably whenever Barry Bonds' name comes up. -Relax, Giants fans-- Armando Benitez can't wait for the season to start. Actually, in really good news, Jon Miller re-upped for another six years. Say this for the Giants-- their broadcasting team is......

-Barry Z meets the press while Barry B is still unsigned. Scott Ostler is looking forward to the Z and B show and actually, he has a point-- the Giants are now lead by two people who are about as different as different could be. Over in Oakland, Monte Pool says flaky Barry Z could be a perfect fit for flaky SF ...

n a promotion that worked way beyond anyone could have thought, the Giants held '80s night for last Friday night's game against the A's. They played 80's music, they busted out their old orange uni tops, they played old commercials, and they even made it cold and foggy at AT&T just to give it that old Candlestick feeling. And then they took it to another level. They busted out Crazy Crab. The Crab Revolution will be televised. ...

Remember those halcyon days of 2005 when it became apparent the Giants season was not going to go as expected and everyone on the team started in with the kvetching? Well, it's happening again. First up to start in with the kvetching is the Giants' closer, Armando Benitez. Benitez complained to a writer about the negative vibes in the clubhouse, boos from the stands, negative comments from the broadcasters, and disrespect from the manager. Other than that, he's doing fine. ...

We couldn't help but notice that this year's Giants slogan is "Your San Francisco Giants," something that has been our tagline since SFist was just a mere toddler in Baby Gap swaddling. We're sure that royalty check will show up to SFist's HQ any day now. As for ourselves, we tried to come up with a pithy little phrase to describe this year's Gigantes and after months and months of debate (actually, more like a few minutes of thought before writing this) decided that this year's team could be summed up best by the phrase "yes, but..." ...

For those who haven't heard, BARRY HAS ARRIVED IN TRAINING CAMP! We repeat, BARRY HAS ARRIVED IN TRAINING CAMP! A day late, however, something that drew a raised eyebrow from some ("oh my God, Barry did something on his own again"). Like last year, Barry met the press to give his annual State of Barry Address, but this time didn't do it press-conference style, instead he just answered few informal questions from the dugout. Probably a smart move as last year's infamous press conference, the one where he spent most of the time berating the press, could only have been a worse P.R. move if he would have given the entire thing while Jose Canseco injected steroids in his ass. Nothing terribly exciting was said, but to sum up: will decide about retiring at the end of the season, wants to spend more time with his family, doesn't want to play for another team, and wants to retire as a Giant. Since we've long since learned not to believe anything the Barry has to say, we take his comments with a grain of salt and wouldn't be surprised to see him wearing a L.A. Angels of Anaheim in Orange County Right Off of the Imperial Highway uniform next season. ...

A large portion of Western literature doesn't make sense to California kids. Specifically, we don't get all those poems about springtime, because it just doesn't feel like that big a deal. This is not to say that "there are no seasons in California." Rather, we mean that spring is nice, sure, but so are summer and fall, and Indian summer, and hey, winter isn't really that bad, either. There seem to be more poems......

After last season’s spirit-crushing, totally maddening season, Giants’ fans from around the Bay, like kids sitting on Santa’s lap, have all been screaming the same thing: “We want reliever! We want a shortstop! And we want a big-bopper to hit behind Barry!” Well, two out of three ain’t bad. After signing Omar Vizquel and Armando Benitez, the Giants made their next big free-agent move and signed…a catcher. And not only any catcher, but defensively stout,......
