When the merger happened they kept Baggerly and Chris Haft ended up with sfgiants.com.<BR/><BR/>Baggerly basically stomped Schulman and the Chronicle on every offseason "scoop" (though it looks like Schulman got him today on the Cain deal), and continues write much more interesting content. He reported on 40-man roster movement when nobody else touched it and today he talked about Lincecum's not using ice on his arm and why while Schulman only glossed over it. He also wrote a nice article on Correia today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21563811.post-87305596447889014232007-02-28T12:47:00.000-08:002007-02-28T12:47:00.000-08:00Thanks Hank.

(They had press passes around their necks.) I think they must have honestly confused the two line drives to center. None of them were keeping score, which is probably what allowed that to happen. I think they probably don't keep score until actual Cactus League games start. An honest mistake, I'd guess, though a bit embarrassing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21563811.post-72205152540806404662007-02-27T22:21:00.000-08:002007-02-27T22:21:00.000-08:00To most, a Giants spring traning is basically spin...To most, a Giants spring traning is basically spinning a few words Bonds says into something controversial regarding steroids and Dan Wetzel writing several articles about it.<BR/><BR/>Never mind that fact that thanks to this blog website, I am very encouraged by what I'm seeing so far from camp, and pleased to see the way Bochy's been running things thus far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21563811.post-55441294597833306552007-02-27T21:37:00.000-08:002007-02-27T21:37:00.000-08:00why do idiots always end up with jobs that involve...why do idiots always end up with jobs that involve giving out information?AGoldRedshieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888862873963947458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21563811.post-73606523219992856232007-02-27T21:27:00.000-08:002007-02-27T21:27:00.000-08:00I talked to a player today and he agreed with you....I talked to a player today and he agreed with you..And Lincecum wasn't even on the field.Two off field pop-ups and a strike-out.Don't understand the confusion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21563811.post-18816471319217486592007-02-27T20:55:00.000-08:002007-02-27T20:55:00.000-08:00I'm fairly certain that sports reporters are just ...I'm fairly certain that sports reporters are just about the dumbest people alive.
