I've only worked with @Jerrymcd the last handful of years, but his knowledge about Bay Area teams (historical & current), direct writing and bird's-eye perspective on our slice of the sports world have served readers extremely well.
For first time in 45 years a newspaper schedule doesn't have my name on it as of June 1. My call. The profession enabled me to meet my wife and have a family. Everything else pales in comparison, but it was a pretty cool way to make a living . . . thanks for reading . . .
The Giants are 10 games below .500 for the first time since 2019.
Since moving to San Francisco, there have been 23 other instances of a Giants team falling this far under par. The history isn’t pretty.

Bryce Eldridge has been out of the starting lineup in three of the last four games, and the roster logjam is a big reason as to why.
So, what’s the plan for Eldridge right now?

Definitely a mixed night for the Quakes. Beau Leroux scores a brace and Timo Werner goes down with a hamstring injury and leaves the pitch right away. Quakes are through to the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals.
