Just left a Sacramento Monarchs game and sat next to Ron Artest

Thanks to a certain YB'er I got a courtside ticket to some amazing WNBA action. More importantly I sat next to Artest, his wife and son.

I'll be the first to say, I figured he was a hardass dick, but my God that is one of the nicest players I have met. He smiled and talked to everyone who raised conversation, was actually following the game and just genuinely nice.

I couldn't believe this was the guy who penetrated the stands and knocked a few people out. I have heard he was a nice guy but I am now a fan. I didn't talk to him about a lot but he really just was a cool guy.

Obviously when it's game time it's a different story but he was just having fun. I guess the point of this is to just let other people know that Artest does not equal asshole.

And with 3 minutes left and the Monarchs down 10, Artest was still optimistic about the end result of the game.

'Melo doesn't learn lesson, gets speeding ticket for going 15 MPH over

DENVER (AP)-- Denver Nuggets All-Star Carmelo Anthony has been ticketed for speeding, three weeks after he was cited on a charge of driving under the influence.

Police say Anthony was pulled over Saturday for driving 60 mph in a 45-mph zone.

The 23-year-old was arrested on a DUI charge in Denver on April 14. He apologized the next day.

He is scheduled to be in court June 5 on the DUI charge.

Police spokesman Sonny Jackson says Anthony does not have to appear in court on the speeding ticket if he mails in the $130 fine.

Another Giant tests positive for steroids

The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced today that San Francisco Giants catcher Eliezer Alfonzo, a member of the Club's 40-man roster, has received a 50-game suspension for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance in violation of Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

Money issues.

Steroid issues.

Scoring issues.

Let's start change.

San Francisco Hondas - I like the sound of that  

Say you have a 1984 beat-up Honda.. Actually.. about seven 1984 beat-up Hondas. However, you have a few decent '00 SUVs, but you decide to take three of the beat up hondas to a car-dealer.

The dealer is a smooth talker and you are a complete idiot who likes to waste all of your money. Well, you want to trade in your crappy Hondas for a Corvette, thinking that this car would change your life.

As the dealer in this situation: What do you do?

....

Exactly, you say get off of my property and slap him in the face. Well if you haven't figured it out, the beat up hondas are our hitting squad, the nice SUVs are our pitching and the guy that likes to waste all of his money.. Brian Sabean. Let's see what he said in March:

"We're going to try (to trade), but I don't see us trading pitching in any regard to try to solve what we want to do offensively."

What the hell are you planning on doing then B-Sabe? Are you going to deal (Dave) Rags and a few baseballs for Alex Rios?

No, at some point you may have to realize that you can't trade bad hitters for good hitters, so we may have to shake up some of our pitching staff. But I swear if you let Timmy go, well, let's not think about that.

Anyway, I guess the good thing about having all these Honda's is we save a crapload of money on gas, right?

Oh wait, we have to dump all of our money we save from the hitters into our H5 2010 Hummer Extreme a.ka. Barry Zito.

Welcome to 50 years of fail  

This year we are celebrating our 50th anniversary in San Francisco. Oh! What a glorious season. Man, has it already been 50?

Well, since we moved here the cordless tool, smoke detector, digital music, prozac, mp3 players, and jet airliners have been invented. And we still haven't won a title.

But let's focus on the now. The 2008 season. Well Brian, at least Roberts isn't starting -- well he might be but he's so old he probably got lost on his way to the ballpark and ended up in San Jose.....

Fire-Sabean.com: The new home for Giants fans

It's not that we are just singling out Mr. Sabean, but yeah, yeah we actually are. It's about time for change.

On June 12, 2005, Mr. Sabean said: "The deals we will be looking for is for someone coming here who has a future. Given the circumstances we're going to be open to anything."

The answer? The future of our franchise? Well, that year we got a 32-year-old Randy Winn.

Some bullpen flops, A declining Shea Hillenbrand and.. well we did have Matt Morris! Let's see, Morris had the lowest win total (10) since 2000 and highest ERA (4.98) ever. Oh, and he was 31 when we decided to give him $5.3 million.

Three years later we are still starting players that are a few years away from getting

Brian, we get it. Your pride has forced you to make Barry our #1 pitcher. Your pride has made you keep Davey R. in the outfield and Ray Durham at second but look at the talent that we have.

I don't know what you're doing, no one does. Get a clue or get the hell out of the office.
