Oh, brother. Daniel Frank, 21, of Santa Clara (surprise!) faces big-time adult charges after allegedly going on a brutal rampage during last weekend's Bay to Breakers race. While reportedly tripping on LSD, police claim that, among other things, Frank ripped out a female participant's hair, attacked other participants during the race, threw a woman to the ground and assaulted good Samaritan's trying to intervene, spat at a cop, and tore off a police officer’s badge while resisting arrest. more ›

Oh boy, two things that excite us are coming together next week. No, not another divine marriage between peanut butter and chocolate. It's SF Chefs and the San Francisco Giants, and they're joining forces for a night of food and baseball. SF Chefs at the Park takes place on Tuesday, May 14 from 5 - 7 p,m. in Seals Plaza just before the Giants take on the Rockies. And it works like this, basically: you get to mingle with noted and award-winning chefs, sample their goods, and then you get to go the game, get drunk, and root for the greatest sports team of all time. Even if they are currently in second place behind the worst sports team of all time. more ›

Oh geez. The San Francisco Giants were dealt another blow after Pablo Sandoval, arguably the team's best hitter, fractured his left hamate bone. (It's the "small, hook-like bone at the base of the hand, near the wrist.") If you recall, Sandoval injured right right hamate bone last season, which resulted surgery and six weeks on the DL. As The Splash points out, "clearly this is another major, traumatic blow for a team that already has lost closer Brian Wilson for the season." more ›

Friend of SFist Sally Kuchar, Curbed SF editor and lifelong Giants fan, and you very own SFist editor recently bemoaned early-season fans' behavior at AT&T Park.

After one French team bid adieu to the America's Cup, bajillionaire Larry Ellison and Oracle Racing are scrambling to keep another team from making their own French exit due to the prohibitively high cost of the regatta's 72-foot catamarans. While there are currently seven teams competing in the World Series races that lead up to Ellison's big show in the Bay, only four have signed up for the actual event in San Francisco. So, in order to keep things interesting Ellison and Co. have cut a "technology transfer" deal with the French Energy Team — or in other words, Oracle is paying to make sure they have someone to race against. more ›

Due to the violence the plagued last year's 49ers vs Raiders game (an exhibition battle between San Francisco and Oakland), the "Battle of the Bay" has been cancelled. Which: good. A fight inside the stadium during last year's bout, if you recall, spilled into the parking lot and resulted in two people getting shot. (One of the victims was sporting a "Fuck the 49ers" t-shirt, which irked several lunatic Oakland San Francisco fans.) more ›

Yet another woe befell San Francisco's gift to billionaire Larry Ellison and his fancy boat race. Specifically, the French sailing team has dropped out of the race. "The team, called Aleph, announced Tuesday that it planned to drop out of the regatta and wished the other competitors good luck, but didn’t provide a reason for quitting," reports SF Examiner. "Aleph finished fourth during races in San Diego in November and was considered the weaker of two French teams in the running." more ›

In the latest updates from Scottsdale, the San Francisco Giants were attacked by a swarm of killer bees at Sunday's training game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The swarm delayed the game by a solid 40 minutes in the top of the second inning after they made their way on to the field and headed straight for the Giants dugout. Ground crews were eventually able to subdue the angry bees using cotton candy and lemonade to lead them away from the field. more ›

A group called USA Yoga thinks that rabbit pose and standing bow-pulling pose should be part of an Olympic event, and we're seriously curious if the Olympic committee is even half listening.
