San Francisco Giants

The World Champions on the verge of total collapse

By Avery D'Alessandro | Aug 31, 2011

You do know that when you lose consecutive games against the (2011) Chicago Cubs, you’ll be ridiculed, right? At the worst possible time, the Giants have dropped the first two games of their series with the Cubs, and more importantly, are now 6 games back of the Diamondbacks. And are now in a position that [...]

By Avery D'Alessandro | Aug 10, 2011

Brian Sabean thought he could play god and tinker with the everyday lineup – inserting three new pieces to the Giants championship puzzle. Doesn’t appear to be working.

Girls, Beer and Baseball…San Francisco Style

By Avery D'Alessandro | May 6, 2011

My new adopted MLB team, the San Francisco Giants, take the field at AT&T Park tonight against division-leading Colorado Rockies. Tonight also celebrates the 80th birthday of the legendary Willie Mays. The weather in the Bay Area’s been tremendous this past week, but the Giants have been less than impressive.
