As you might be able to tell, ever since the Dodgers swept the Giants this weekend (giving them 11 wins in a row at Pac Bell), we’ve been kind of avoiding discussing the slow torture that is your 2007 Giants, which is odd because usually train wrecks are fascinating and completely watchable. In any event, here’s the Giants news, divided into two distinct halves, because if you’re anything like us, you have days where you’re tired of the Bonds coverage.
Bondsian Section:
- Barry Bonds has not started in any of the ESPN-televised games this season. Coincidence? [Epic Carnival]
- Jesse Jackson and Barry Bonds prayed together. Oddly enough, they both asked God for Apple iPhones. [SFGate]
- When it comes to lady companions, Derek Jeter is jealous of Barry Bonds? As Jessica Alba, Mariah Carey and Jessica Biel as evidence, we’re gonna go with a simple “no.” [NY Daily News, via The Big Lead]
- Those screweverybody.com idiots are getting more press. Someone light Bill Simmons on fire. [SFGate]
Non-Bondsian Section:
- Here’s a must-read profile on Tim Lincecum. [Washington Post, via McCovey Chronicles]
- What’s left to look forward to this year? We’ve got Omar’s defense, the aforementioned Lincecum and Bengie Molina running out a triple on our list so far. [The Splash]
- Finally, a Sabean plan that makes sense: sign Julio Franco. What better way to celebrate Sabes’ new well-earned extension? [Brahsome]
- Matt Morris, on the trade block. [McCovey Chronicles]
- Jennie Finch is smart. That is all. [Doberman On The Diamond, via 100% Injury Rate]
- Fear not Giants fans, Barry Zito is totally going to have a great bounceback half. Starting … tonight! [Official Site]
