This is Grant one more time. I have a quick Cohn Zohn Quiz: Who’s the worst starting pitcher on the Giants right now? Bonus Question: If the Giants win the NL West, what is their playoff rotation? To me the answer is easy. It’s Jonathan Sanchez – he’s the worst. [...]
This is Grant addressing my dad directly. Dad, what’s for dinner? One more thing. You’re wrong about Monta Ellis. He isn’t the guard Larry Riley should trade, that’s Curry. Ellis is already a better player than Curry will ever be. Curry’s a shooting guard who isn’t big or quick enough [...]
Grant here. Forgive me if this sounds like heresy but Scott Cousins is no culprit. Buster Posey should blame himself for his season-ending injury. Posey was waiting for the action, the ball and the runner to arrive, while he was on his knees in front of home plate. This is [...]
Grant attended the A's-Yankees game on Wednesday, attended along with me although we hardly spoke. He was sitting in one part of the press box and I was sitting in another, and he worked in the Yankees clubhouse and I worked the A's. The result of his work is this [...]
While all the Buster Posey stuff was going on, Grant wrote a piece for ComcastSportsNet BayArea about the latest Lance Armstrong flap, how teammates are accusing him of being a drug cheat. Grant is not accusing Armstrong or anyone else. He writes how growing up in his age -- the [...]
This is Grant, and this is how I feel about Hockey. You can’t see the game. It’s the invisible sport. I try to follow the puck on television and I feel like Harry Potter trying to spot a snitch in a Quidditch match. Take last night’s game. The Sharks are [...]
Grant attended the Jerry West gala introduction along with me. They had danish and coffee in the morning and there was what they called a meet n greet and then Jerry appeared. Grant wrote about the whole deal for ComcastSportsNet Bay Area. His assignment was to capture the feeling of [...]
A few days ago, Grant did a Part II of a piece he wrote for CSN BayArea. In Part I he combined the A's and Giants starting rotations and came up with one super rotation. In this second piece he projects which pictures currrently pitching for the A's and Giants [...]
Grant just published a controversial piece on ComcastSportNet BayArea. He asked a simple question. If you combine the A's and Giants starting pitchers, who would be your starting rotation -- i.e. your best five? Some of his answers are obvious, like Tim Lincecum. Duh. Some of his candidates aren't so [...]
Grant interviewed Ryan Vogelsong Thursday morning and wrote a column for CSN BayArea about him. Grant is new at interviewing real live people and new at turning interviews into written pieces. I was not with him when he interviewed Vogelsong. He was the first writer in the clubhouse -- he [...]
