Baseball

* Unlike the Giants, there could be hope for the A's this season.

* If you are working in Baseball Operations for the Giants, you might want to start finding some boxes and the closest unemployment office. This team is bad and you built it.

* It is awesome that the SJ Mercury blog on the Giants is almost entirely focused on the San Jose Giants and not the big club.

* Best article of the day - Pedroia ripping his hometown. Awesome stuff.

Basketball

* This is one of the worst Warriors seasons in recent memory. People should start writing about them.

Football

* Here is to Andrew Luck as the starter for Stanford this season. The garbage I was forced to watch last year was painful.
