Brett Favre: Where's The Dignity?

Good ole' Brett is at it again. He "retired" today, just like he "retired" last year. What the hell Brett? What's with this circus? Don't go all the way down this path only to turn back. Don't put teams and fans through all this hope year after year...

Why It’s a No Brainer: Manny Ramirez Should be a San Francisco Giant

Why Is the National League So Inferior to the American League?

San Francisco Giants Rebuilding: Too Little, Too Late

Everyone knows that the Giants aren't going to make a run this year, even in a weak division. Also, the Giants didn't make a run last year or the season before that. The Giants should have realized that the time to rebuild was long ago...
