Swimming in a Sea of Mediocrity

Swimming in a Sea of Mediocrity

by DrLefty I found last night's loss to the Rockies at Coors Field absolutely excruciating. And that's saying something because I was in person at Wrigley Field last week to see two terrible losses that were beyond disheartening. Those of you who found last night's game exciting and entertaining have an ally in MrLefty. As we were watching it, he was expressing real-time glee at the idea that...

The Final Countdown

The Final Countdown

by DrLefty A lot has transpired since I published my last Out of Left Field two weeks ago today. Rookie top prospect Kyle Harrison made a brilliant home debut, and grizzled veteran Alex Cobb followed that up by coming one out short of a no-hitter. The Giants won 4 of...

Crossroads

Crossroads

by DrLefty Last week I talked about JuniorHighLefty being bewildered and put off by some weird dude singing about putting "de lime in de coconut." Around the same time, I became absolutely obsessed with the song "American Pie," which was a #1 hit at the time. I had...

Giants Schmiants*

*If you love/hate the content of Out of Left Field this week, you can thank/blame MrLefty. In fact, he had so many ideas for this column that I suggested maybe he'd like to write it himself. But he says he only traffics in concepts, and he'll leave the word-smithing...
