    America's Cup Italian team sets demands Ellison's Oracle team was flying high when it was announced in 2010 that the Cup would be staged in the perfect blue amphitheater of San Francisco Bay.

If another team drops out - and Artemis is reportedly waiting until next week to decide - this goes from the most glamorous sailing event in the world to a puny three-team boat race.

Alcohol was officially banned, but that didn't stop Sean Afshar, 21, of Berkeley, who paused on Howard Street with three friends to mix Smirnoff vodka with orange juice. A larger-than-usual…

It reminds me, since I'm very old, of the last crack-pipe mayor, Marion Barry, who in 1990 fell into an FBI sting when a former girlfriend invited him to her hotel room to have sex. Turns out she was an FBI informant, and when she suggested they get high before getting into bed, the fibbies caught Barry on a secret camera. Didn't do much to harm his career -- he served six months in jail and was soon re-elected…

  • Giants end terrible trip with 5-0 loss

    Henry Schulman
    19 May 2013 | 4:45 pm
    Giants end terrible trip with 5-0 loss What a perfect metaphor for arguably the ugliest road trip in the Bruce Bochy era, a stinkpot of bad pitching and worse defense that concluded with the Giants scoring once over the final 16 innings at Coors Field, including their fourth shutout defeat in 152 games at the park since it opened in 1995. Barry Zito allowed five runs in 5 2/3 innings Sunday, and the rotation's ERA for the trip actually dipped, to 9.82. The Giants' biggest need heading into a three-game series against the Nationals at AT&T Park on Monday night is righting the one unit most…

    Giants' lose 10-2 to Rockies When the Giants completed a 7-3 homestand by outscoring the Braves 23-4 over the final three games, folks could daydream about more October baseball. The pitching has been dreadful, with the starters allowing eight, eight, six, nine and six runs in this turn through the rotation, the final six charged to Tim Lincecum in five innings Saturday. Ten of those 37 runs were unearned, thanks to some of the 12 errors this supposed pitching-and-defense team has committed, including three more Saturday after Bochy closed the clubhouse doors and told the team to focus on…

    Giants lose wild one under Coors big top If you said Jordan Pacheco, whose fifth-inning grand slam off Madison Bumgarner broke a 5-5 tie, thanks for playing and better luck next time. Fowler's play stood in complete contrast to the Giants' defense, the real culprit in a loss that ended their 10-game win streak against Colorado - and for that matter, their 1-3 trip. The Bumgarner, Sandoval and Pagan throwing errors helped the Rockies overcome a 4-0 Giants lead and made two of Bumgarner's career-worst nine runs unearned. Errors aside, it was a 5-5 game when Bumgarner walked D.J. LeMaheiu with…

In a much calmer voice later, manager Bruce Bochy explained the importance of Cain and the Giants digging out of an early six-run hole, scoring the final eight runs and beating the Rockies for the 10th straight time, 8-6.

  • Pondering Cain’s release point

    Chris Quick
    17 May 2013 | 6:37 am
    As a somewhat obsessed observer of Giants baseball, one thing I’ve noticed this year – by just watching the games, nerds – is that Cain appears to be throwing – or slinging could be a better word – from a lower vertical release point. What do the stats say? A quick trip to the fabulous Brooks Baseball gives us this image: From 2007-2010 Cain had a fairly consistent vertical release point. He lowered it in 2011 and it remained at pretty much the same point in 2012. This year, he’s dropped even further. His pitches, across the board, are coming out of a lower release point these…

Maybe serve as DH? — Andrew Baggarly (@CSNBaggs) May 13, 2013 In 137 plate appearances for Triple-A Fresno, Pill’s numbers are absolutely insane: .333 ISO, slash-line of .341/.380/.675, and a 165 wRC+. (That’s even good for the PCL, but adjusted to the majors, he’s probably going to hit .270/.310/.400 or something.) He could be the Giants’ best option at DH. I’m really not sure, to be honest. But the Giants will likely use him at the…

  • Vogeldongs: A look at recent pitchers with spikes in HR-rate

    Chris Quick
    12 May 2013 | 9:39 pm
    An early storyline in 2013 for the Giants has been Ryan Vogelsong’s trouble keeping the ball in the yard. Through 39.1 innings pitched, the right-hander has faced 183 batters and allowed 129 balls in play, nine of which have left the yard. For the purposes of this post, I’m using HR/9 as my measurement of home run rate. A rate based on batted balls is probably better. But it’s likely a minor detail that won’t affect the overall picture. So keep in mind whenever you read about ‘HR-rate’ in this post, I’m talking about HR/9 — or home runs allowed…

If it happens, mark your calendar, because you will have just witnessed history Yeah, about that. I couldn’t believe it when it happened.

    17 May 2013 | 4:30 pm
    After playing their two worst games of the 2013 seasons north of the border in Toronto, the Giants got back on track Thursday in Colorado. They came back from an early 6-run deficit to beat the Rockies in game one of a 4-game set and will look to feed off that momentum throughout the weekend.In each game up in Toronto, the Giants starting pitcher put the team behind the 8-ball significantly early on. Barry Zito got knocked around pretty good on Tuesday night, but the real concern coming out of that series has to be with Ryan Vogelsong. I talked extensively about Vogey's struggles in our last…

  • Giants' Pitching No Longer a Powerhouse

    10 May 2013 | 1:57 pm
    For the last 5+ years, the Giants have had what many consider one of the top pitching staffs in all of baseball, top to bottom. This year, however, their starting pitching has taken a major step back, and the bullpen isn't quite as bullet-proof as it's been the past few seasons.After nearly being swept by the struggling Phillies, the Giants have started out behind the 8-ball in their 4-game set with Atlanta, as Ryan Vogelsong had yet another tough outing Thursday night that pushed his ERA up to 7.78 through his 7 starts. Vogey gave up 6 runs on 7 hits through 4 1/3 and surrendered his…

I figured it was going to be a tough roadie after the way the first two games of the trip went. First off, the Giants got another beautiful effort out of Tim Lincecum that was all for…

    24 Apr 2013 | 6:55 pm
    After taking the first 4 games of their mini 6 game home stand, the Giants narrowly missed walking away with a 6-game sweep as they battled the D-Backs into extra innings in both of their losses.With the Diamondbacks taking 2 out of 3 in the series, it pulls them to within a half game of the 2nd place Giants, who are now 1.5 back of the first place Rockies. It's really a shame they couldn't quite squeak out Wednesday's game to back a terrific outing by Madison Bumgarner and take the series vs. Arizona, but everyone will happily take a 4-2 stint anytime. Bumgarner has been the Giants default…

It was the worst I've seen Zito look since early last year as he just wasn't fooling anyone and didn't have his crisp command working for him but it was one game in a live yard and I'm confident he'll get back on track…

  • Colin Kaepernick Teaches Michelle Obama How to 'Kaepernick,' Documents it on Instagram (Photo)

    Michelle Obama‘s “Let’s Move” campaign encourages children to eat healthier and be more active, making the campaign and professional football players a perfect match. Likewise, a number of celebrities and athletes have lent themselves to the campaign, with San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick among them. In fact, Kaepernick even recently had the opportunity to meet up with Obama in person. Kaepernick documented the meeting on his Instagram account, and it appears the two had a good time together. The QB even got a chance to teach the first lady his…

    7 May 2013 | 10:36 am
    In a span of six months, Colin Kaepernick’s brand and celebrity status has exploded, propelling him into near super-stardom   In the NFL and all professional sports, athletes are reminded to remain prepared for any scenario and their own opportunity to take the bull by the horns and perform to the highest of their ability.  Week 10 of the 2012 NFL season Alex Smith suffered a concussion opening the door for Kaepernick to step in as the San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback.  I think it is safe to say that you and the rest of us know how it all played out. The world and the field was…

    Yardbarker: San Francisco 49ers

  • What are the chances of a 49ers Super Bowl return?

    20 May 2013 | 8:57 am
    One of the toughest realizations after the San Francisco 49ers lost Super Bowl XLVII was they may never get back there again. There will be some homers who will jump to contradict that statement, but one of the biggest advantages the 49ers had in terms of coming back to prominence in the NFL was surprise. No one expected Harbaugh to take Alex Smith to the NFC Championship game in 2011. By the same token, no one expected Colin Kaepernick to lead the 49ers to the Super Bowl in 2012... Read more

  • A.J. Jenkins has a chance to be the 49ers third receiver this year

    18 May 2013 | 8:28 pm
    According to the Sacramento Bee, second-year wide receiver A.J. Jenkins has a great opportunity to be the 49ers’ third receiver this coming season. The 49ers’ starting receivers promise to be Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin. The third receiver spot, however, is wide open. Two of the veteran frontrunners, Kyle Williams and Mario Manningham, are coming off of ACL injuries, and neither is expected to be full participants in the OTA sessions that begin next week. This coming season is a big year for Jenkins.  The Niners didn’t draft him in the first round of the 2012 draft for…

    The 49ers changed QBs mid way through the season and almost won the Super Bowl.  What will Kaepernick do with a full offseason and regular season at the started?  Did they add enough fire power in the draft to get them over the hump? What about the Seahawks? Here's a look at the win totals for each team.

The Hillbarn Theatre production of A Little Night Music hints at the energy that inspired New York Times reviewer Clive Barnes to to describe the 1973 original as “heady, civilized, sophisticated and enchanting. It is Dom Perignon. It is supper at Laserre.” If the Hillbarn can’t quite deliver on the total package, it’s important to remember that even Barnes was a little over the top in his review.

That such an impact could be made by a plot about quarreling couples – subject matter that is uncomfortable at best and boring at worst – speaks to the strength of the work itself and the extraordinary talents of those bringing it to life. Opera Paralléle’s take on Samuel Barber’s “A Hand of Bridge” and Leonard Bernstein’s “Trouble in Tahiti” is one such production. Billed as…
