The frequent and occasional humorous musings behind two of the World's greatest underappreciated sports minds. Friday, March 25, 2005. More Toast, Less Jam. A few things to rumble about today. I start by pluggin myself with my column on Pat Summitt reconsidering her stance on coaching men. [ The Ledger. AP Weighs In: Bonds Yay, McGwire Nay. McGwire is a little bit less of an exact. He was a dynamic offensive player and although he was extremely one-dimensional, it was a hell of a dimension to have...

The frequent and occasional humorous musings behind two of the World's greatest underappreciated sports minds. Friday, December 31, 2004. Simple as Black and White. I enjoy Richard Sandomir's. Work He's a smart writer and he's good as presenting a side without coming across as an unforgiven critic. The TV execs had the same excuses - there wasn't enough time, it was next on the list, etc. He later apologized for some of the things, acknowledged his short-sighted opinion in the matter and moved on. It...

The frequent and occasional humorous musings behind two of the World's greatest underappreciated sports minds. Saturday, January 22, 2005. With the offseason personnel decisions made by the general manager. Of your favorite baseball team. And feel compelled to write about them on your blog. A- Thoroughly examine all. Posted by Bee-ranom 1:48 PM. A Tip of the Cap. Finally the NHL and the NHLPA made a decision. No agreement, no season, no talks, no compromise, nothing. No one I know. As there are many more...

Lefty Malo - 40 Giants in 30-Something Days: The Normcore Four
http://www.leftymalo.com/2015/04/40_giants_in_30-something_days_the_normcore_four.php
40 Giants in 30-Something Days: The Normcore Four. April 7, 2015 4:18 PM. I've gotten a bit off track in my quest to mini-profile every Giant on the 40-man roster. But the start of the real festivities last night - and the way the Giants nearly coughed up their cozy madbummish lead - prompts me to press on with chin aloft and spirit ennobled. Huzzah! Fine with me. I hate lazy nicknames. Why is every great starting pitching triumverate a "Big Three"? Why does every Ray need a Sugar? Will this be the year?

Lefty Malo - 40 Giants in 30 Days: The Long Men
http://www.leftymalo.com/2015/03/40_giants_in_30_days_the_long_men.php
40 Giants in 30 Days: The Long Men. March 18, 2015 7:20 PM. When life gives you long men, make longmenade. The Giants will have to hire extra vendors to patrol the bleachers on hot days, because they have two. Long men. Most teams have one, and it's not unusual for him to be a Rule 5 draftee, a greenhorn from the baseball hinterlands who has only recently learned to tie his shoes and shave. All right, small sample size and such. But you can bet Boch will think twice about bringing in Ryan Vogelsong m...

Lefty Malo - 40 Giants in 30 Days: The Boys on the Bubble (Part 1)
http://www.leftymalo.com/2015/03/40_giants_in_30_days_the_boys_on_the_bubble_part_1.php
40 Giants in 30 Days: The Boys on the Bubble (Part 1). March 20, 2015 11:19 PM. Heroes, I tell you. Made a great catch in Game 7. Hit a double off the previously unhittable Wade Davis. Hit in the pinch to start a World Series comeback. Scored from second on a wild pitch. If you followed the playoffs obsessively, you know without my telling you who did each of those things: 1) Juan Perez. 2) Juan Perez. 3) Matt Duffy. 4) Matt Duffy. Shoo-ins for the bench on Opening Day? Expected job on April 6. Hit the s...

Lefty Malo - 40 Giants in 30 Days: Buster's Backups
http://www.leftymalo.com/2015/03/40_giants_in_30_days_busters_backups.php
40 Giants in 30 Days: Buster's Backups. March 29, 2015 9:46 PM. Sunday afternoon we learned that Hector Sanchez would be the backup catcher on Opening Day, ending one of the few open roster questions one week early. Ending it for now, at least. In his brief time with the large squad last year, Andrew Susac looked like he might be the heir apparent, and the scouting reports. On his D have trended positive. But he's now a minor leaguer again. One of the best things the Giants could do - and will do - for t...

Lefty Malo - 40 Giants in 30 Days: The Brandons
http://www.leftymalo.com/2015/03/40_giants_in_30_days_the_brandons.php
40 Giants in 30 Days: The Brandons. March 13, 2015 3:06 PM. Last year on Opening Day there were three Brandons on the roster. The Giants were multibrandoning. April was a fine month to multibrandon, with 12 home runs combined and ironclad infield defense, which made everyone think about franchising this thing: Were there any other Busters out there to sign? How about "Two Pandas For the Price of One" - which the Red Sox ended up getting. Expected job on April 6. Plays 150 games, hits 30 homers, gets on b...
