The Giants Way™"If anybody deserves credit for this year’s turnaround it’s these two people, Brian and Bruce," Neukom said. "The encouraging thing is we think we’re back to playing baseball the way it ought to be played."

At least HBO had the good sense to cancel his talk show.

Dumped Edgar Renteria and adopted Buster Posey. Biggest upgrade since George Jefferson moved up to a deluxe apartment on the east side!

Didn’t it last like two shows? Nice job Buck. Why don’t you take the hint?

Well, at least we can always choose to watch non-Fox MLB games on Saturdays 1-4pm.

I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

How can he continue to balance two announcing jobs yet still keep up with Dancing With The Stars?

Maybe this time they offered him enough money to guilt him into feigning interest in the game.

He flogs the Fox promos with great enthusiasm — I doubt they care about much beyond that.

My Bucardo is better than yours.

A hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. Insofar as the clutch hitter is not a sportswriter's myth, it is a vulgarity, like a writer who writes only for money.

Does anyone in the world actually like Joe Buck? I’ve never come across any fan, casual or hardcore, who didn’t hate his guts.

How much further can he ride on his father’s coattails? Those things gotta be shredded by now?

If Joe Buck was asked to report on the end of the world while it was happening, would he still use a bored monotone?

Joe Buck is not enjoyable to listen to.

That’s a DISGUSTING act by Fox, and it’s unfortunate they are going to keep putting him the air live.

I don't know about that, to the groin.

Q: Did you ever make an offer for Vladimir Guerrero?
Sabean: In a word: No. If we had signed Guerrero or [Gary] Sheffield, we would have been without [Long list of replacement level vets]—obviously not being able to field a competitive team, especially from an experience standpoint, given our level of spending.
