Latest blog entries from Bay Area teams across every league
After Wednesday’s loss to the San Diego Padres, it seemed all but certain that the San Francisco Giants would place right-handed reliever José Buttó on the Injured List at some point today. And indeed, on Thursday afternoon, a few hours before starting a series against the New York Mets, the Giants announced that Buttó was […]
The San Jose Sharks are no longer just chasing a playoff spot. They are pushing for it. With the regular season winding down and every game tightening the Western Conference race, San Jose delivered one of its most important wins of the season; a 4-3 comeback over the Anaheim Ducks at SAP Center. Against a division leader near the top of the conference, the Sharks showed they can compete with the NHL’s best when it matters most. The Sharks entered the night sitting just behind the Lo...
For what it’s worth, these Spurs are determined to head into the playoffs winning as many games as they can, building on their success and trying to stay motivated along the way. Couch-surfing fans (like myself) might question the need for motivation playing a game we all love, but 82 games is a grind. On […]
After reading the headline you were probably wondering how long it would take for me to mention Leo De Vries. The answer was, apparently, 18 words. Let’s take a look at two trends that are on collision course unless they aren’t: 1. The A’s have gone wild lately with regard to extensions, inking not one, […]
Ten years came and went in a blink. The San Francisco 49ers hired John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan ahead of the 2017 season and tasked the duo with revitalizing the franchise. In that time, the 49ers have appeared in two Super Bowls and four NFC Championship games with nine playoff victories. The duo rebuilt this […]
The last late game of the year.
Being a Mets fan must be exhausting. Being of New York is a status symbol, which carries privilege but also responsibility. The Mets are expected to win! And short of that, they’re expected to do everything they can to win. And if they don’t, there’s no choice as a fan but to be miserable. Plenty […]
Great news, prospect fans. Yesterday was the last day (off days notwithstanding) that only one San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball affiliate was in action. Today there will be two affiliates playing baseball, and on Friday we get four. As summer rolls closer, we’ll get seven! For now though, it’s just one team and a […]
A popular talking point, for most teams, is to trade down in the NFL draft and accumulate picks. After all, the more swings you have, the more likely it is that you hit on a prospect. The San Francisco 49ers enter the 2026 NFL Draft with picks in the first and second rounds, as well […]
As has felt like the case all season long, no one seems to want to grab a hold of the playoffs and take control. As a result, the San Jose Sharks, unbelievably, are still a factor in the playoff race today, even as the team also vies for a potential lottery pick in the upcoming NHL Entry Draft. For Sharks fans, it’s the best of both worlds in some ways because you get the thrill of a playoff chase while still having the security of knowing that if your team falls just short, you have good odds...
Usually, by the end of the week, we get a fresh batch of mock drafts. In this week’s roundup, the goal is to see if there are any new players or positions the San Francisco 49ers are linked to. Let’s start with a three-round mock from ESPN that was published on Thursday morning: No. 27: […]
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton called losing San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw in free agency a “tough one” during the NFL’s annual league meeting. Payton was quite complimentary of Greenlaw: “Here’s why: He’s so passionate. I would say, in my career as a coach, I’ve been lucky enough to coach a lot of […]
Well, the A’s are six games into the season and the power surge that we saw in spring training seems just like a Desert Mirage. The team that averaged 7.0 runs per game in Arizona can barely manage 2.8 now that the regular season has started. To be fair, it’s unreasonable to expect the same […]
Coming off a disappointing series in St. Louis that saw them win just one of three games against a rebuilding team, the Mets (3-3) are set to visit AI Layoffs Park for a four-game series with the similarly struggling Giants (2-4). After scoring eleven runs on Opening Day in a game that saw them knock […]
The San Antonio Spurs secured their tenth-straight victory on Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors. It was their sixth-straight game winning by double-digits. The Spurs haven’t had a single-digit margin of victory in about two weeks. This team is rolling, and it is all led by one man: Victor Wembanyama. San Antonio’s third-year big […]
For the second time this season, the San Diego Padres needed to win the third game of a series to avoid a sweep. The Padres did just that with a 7-1 win over the San Francisco Giants at Petco Park on Wednesday. Opening Day starter Nick Pivetta bounced back with a critical performance that resulted […]
According to Kyle Shanahan, the Los Angeles Rams wanted to play in Australia as opposed to playing in L.A. Now, is this a fact? According to Shanahan, it’s a fact. The Rams wanted to play in Australia as opposed to playing a home game in Los Angeles. Why? According to the 49ers it’s because “home” […]
If I wanted to make this post as short as possible, I would simply direct you to my last article covering the Spurs’ win over Chicago, as superficially these two games have some striking similarities. This includes very similar final point totals (129-114 vs. the Bulls, 127-113 vs. Golden State) and almost mirrored box score […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Every once in a while, a San Francisco Giants player gets to be both the hero San Francisco deserves, and the one they need right now. On Tuesday night, that hero was Willy Adames. Not only did he crush a leadoff home run on the second pitch of Tuesday night’s game, […]
After a dominant victory over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night, the San Antonio Spurs will travel south for a matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. It’s the third and final regular-season matchup between the two squads. However, it may not be the last time they play this year. The Clippers have won 5 […]
Coming off a season-high 41-point game, Wemby picked up right where he left off with an identical scoring line in a blowout victory over Golden State on Wednesday night. The Alien scored two quick layups to start, and spooked the Warriors into shooting tough threes instead of driving into the paint. The home team didn’t […]
The Warriors were missing nine players and had to play a patchwork lineup of mostly undrafted players. They played with a lot of effort in a rough and tumble game and the Spurs didn’t play their cleanest game, but the talent difference was too much for the undermanned Golden State squad. The Spurs never quite […]
Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much. Well, the Spurs have been on a tear lately, and they […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers will have a chance to end their brief three-game Western Conference road trip with a win as they take on a hobbled Golden State Warriors team that will be on the second leg of a back-to-back. As we know from their first meeting, just because the Warriors are down several key players […]
The 49ers’ wide receiver depth chart looks substantially different following free agency, and Kyle Shanahan is clearly confident it is in a much stronger position than in 2025. While the inevitable departure of Brandon Aiyuk is on hold as the 49ers attempt to get something in return for their 2020 first-round pick, the 49ers have […]
