Urban: Five baseball things you can do
- No matter what your favorite baseball team might be up to these days, it’s still way too early to either panic or plan a parade. But it’s a very good time to ...

Urban: They may not be so bad
- For two glorious games, spread out over four days, Giants fans were treated to a glimpse of best-case-scenario baseball. And while the mini-joyride ended Tuesday when the bullpen rendered yet another gem by Matt Cain moot, those feel-good games should serve as evidence that this team isn’t nearly as bad as it looked in the ugly first 10 days of the season.

Dickey: Bonds, Cain — then pray for rain
- Matt Cain has a terrible burden this season. Because the Giants’ plan for putting together a team is so flawed, their only chance to escape the NL West cellar is with a breakout season from Cain.

Poll: How many homers will Bonds hit?
- Giants slugger Barry Bonds is healthy, which could mean trouble for National League pitchers this season. Bonds enters the season needing 22 homers to break Hank Aaron’s record of 755 career homers. But no one Bonds’ age (42) has hit more than 18 in any one season.

Bonds memorabilia prices on the way up

Ladies and gentlemen, your 2007 Giants
- Thank goodness a season must be played, because on paper, these 2007 Giants look like a team that’s gonna get somebody fired. It’s very easy to imagine five years from now looking back at this team and saying it was obvious it would be awful.

Giants like what they see in ‘Frasher’
- Don’t let the 6.29 ERA fool you. Matt Cain is right where the Giants need him to be. And while it’s a lot of pressure to pile on a 22-year-old, they need him to be great.

Dickey: Plan Bonds’ fireworks for this fall
- Barring serious injury, Barry Bonds will break Hank Aaron’s career home run record this season. In fact, he’ll probably do it in early September.

Giants: Three keys to win
- 1. For the first time in recent memory, Barry Bonds really had no offseason health issues, meaning he reported to spring fresh and in good condition. So if Barry is Barry, even at 42 years old, he should be better than last year, when he pounded out 26 homers and drove in 77 runs, definitely subpar by Bonds’ elite standards. While his offense will certainly be a key factor as he chases the career homer record, just as important is Bonds’ defense. At his age and following several knee surgeries, he doesn’t get around as well as he used to, which could frustrate the pitchers.
