Breaking news: Buster Posey

Breaking news. Posey did not hit a home run in tonight's Giants slaughter at the hands of the Dodgers. He didn't have an RBI either. Hey, I know homers and RBIs are old-style metrics and I'm a moron to refer to them. But Posey, the Giants'slugger,' has two homers and [...]

On Ageism

I stirred things up lately suggesting Buster Posey is overrated. My opinion until he proves me wrong. I'm entitled to my opinion. You're entitled to disagree, to call me uninformed or baseball ignorant or unappreciative of true greatness. That's what this blog is all about -- a give-and-take of passionate [...]

Why Buster Posey Owes me a Thank you, Lowell

Buster Posey owes me a thank you for getting him refocused on his job with my constructive and very pointed and well-deserved criticism. His job involves hitting home runs. He hit a homer in Game 1 vs. the Dodgers. I'm happy to have helped. Now he needs to make a [...]

Why Buster Posey is Overrated

I say Buster Posey is overrated. I have been tweeting that and readers are sore at me. I can take it. Besides, I'm retired and life is grand. Is Posey an excellent hitter? Sure he is. Is Posey an excellent catcher? Sure he is. Is he a good guy? He [...]

For a long time Baywolf was the best restaurant in Oakland. People were visiting from out of town, I took them to Baywolf.  The people who owned Baywolf recently retired, and Rich and Rebekah Wood, who own the fabulous Wood Tavern on College Avenue, took over Baywolf and renamed it [...]

Kaepernick will stand during Anthem

Colin Kaepernick is so self-serving. Last season, he didn't stand during the Anthem. Now it's being reported he will stand next season. I'll tell you why he'll stand. He's a free agent and he doesn't want his kneeling to affect his job prospects with teams who might frown on what [...]

Wine tasting with Lowell

Being recently retired, I went wine tasting on Thursday with my great friend Mike Murray. I mean now a Thursday is as good as a Saturday. Usually, I taste in Dry Creek but for a change-up (baseball metaphor there), we went to Sonoma and tasted on the Square for starters. [...]

Kaepernick opts out

Being reported Colin Kaepernick will opt out of his 49ers contract and probably test free agency. The 9ers don't need him, so good. Let him go. If he thinks he'll get a starting job with another team, totally deluded. Somehow, he opted out of being a good quarterback a few [...]
