Dark eons ahead

The only baseball team of which to be a fan is the San Francisco Giants. That's a given. But the cost of being forever correct, as Giants fans inherently are, is to suffer. A lot. And loudly. And, apparently, without end. No major league baseball team has gone without winning a World Championship in its current city longer than the San Francisco Giants. Even Cubs fans, whose team last won it all in 1908, have to count at least one among them, somewhere, who remembers their team doing the Big Dance on the Mound. But San Francisco Giants fans? No. Evidently it's against the law or something.

To find out a bit more of what we're about, please read "EEEEEE! -- An Introduction."

If you're a first-time visitor, then please, after you've looked around, take just a moment to fill out a brief form telling us a little about yourself. This is the place to go if you'd like to be added to a mailing list telling readers about updates. I also announce updates on the Giants Usenet newsgroup. If by chance you've asked to be on the list but haven't received any messages, please let me know.

• April 2003: Seventeen Games, Two Losses: Well, it's hard to complain about a showing like this, but I manage to anyway, okay? Okay.
  

• The Men who Play Little League marks the EEEEEE! debut of the mysterious Bat Fastard.
  

Recent Stuff

• Whoever Has a Cold Makes the Rules: In a couple of February 4 articles, Jayson Stark of ESPN proposed numerous rule changes to Major League Baseball. Here's what I have to say, irrespective of any possible copyright violations.
  

• Adam Coutts has added some material to his EEEEEE! 2002 Postmortem article, "A Walk Through All The Players I Had Time To Write About: The San Francisco Giants 2002 In Review" -- keep an eye out for the nonpitchers who appear after Ramon Martinez. (You remember Ramon. He used to play for the Giants.)
  

• The EEEEEE! 2002 Postmortem -- articles about the 2001 season by Tom Austin, David Beck, Jamal Bernhard, Richard Booroojian, John Broesamle, Grant Brisbee, Adam Coutts, Todd Hawley, David Malbuff, and Gregg Pearlman. That's the most stacked lineup we've ever had. Now we just have to figure out who pitches and who'll DH.
  
• April 2002: Almost Enough to Vent About -- some text, some numbers... just not as much as usual.
  
  
• The no-longer-recent EEEEEE! 2001 Postmortem -- articles about the 2001 season by David Beck, Richard Booroojian, Rick Braverman, Grant Brisbee, Todd Hawley, and Gregg Pearlman. Mostly the Postmortem was long awaited by its authors.
  
  
  

Important notes (well, important to me, anyway):

• The EEEEEE! 2002 Postmortem comes to you earlier in the year than the 2001 Postmortem did, but still later than it should be. My hope is that EEEEEE! will be tended more frequently than it was during 2002, but I can't promise anything.
  
  
• I've discovered a bunch of dead links in this site. I apologize for any inconvenience to thoseof you who may have discovered them, too. I hope I've fixed them all. Otherwise, please let me know if you come across any.
  
  
• The XBL, tragically, seems to have died on the vine, or at least gotten ill and grumpy. That doesn't mean it's done for yet, though. On the other hand, it also doesn't mean there's anything new there.
