Ex-Landlord Suing Tim Lincecum for Allegedly Trashing San Francisco Pad
A lawsuit was filed this past Wednesday against San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum, alleging that the Giants ace stole items from, and trashed, an apartment he had been renting. The suit claims that the damage racked up by Lincecum is around $200,000.I don’t think the security deposit is gonna cover that.
Lincecum rented the apartment in San Francisco’s Mission District from May 2010 until February 2011, when the lease expired. The lawsuit claims that shortly after the rental agreement ended, Timmy re-entered the unit, without the landlord’s permission, and stayed until mid-May. It was during this time that the alleged wanton destruction of the apartment took place. Read more ›

VIDEO: Young Giants Fan Pouting Over a Missed Foul Ball is Adorable
Remember when you were a youngster of six or seven, how even the most trivial of failures were the hugest of disappointments in your young life. Too bad we didn’t have this kid’s talent for pouting, because in the end everything worked out for him just fine.During last night’s Dodgers-Giants game, a foul ball that landed in this kid’s seating area was gobbled up by the woman sitting in the row in front of him and his group. Thinking he should have recovered the baseball, our little Giants fan goes into full-blown pout mode that lasts…and lasts…and lasts.
The announcer’s pick up on the kid’s act and eventually get a couple of balls sent down to him and his little friend sitting beside him. Nothing turns a frown upside down quicker than a shiny, new baseball…or a slap upside the head from your father.
Video follows the jump… Read more ›

Gatorade Cooler on Receiving End of a Brian Wilson Tantrum as Good as New
As you can see, the Giants staff had to render some first aid to the severely damaged cooler, but in the end the plucky little Gatorade jug was patched up with some well-placed stitches and sent out there for the Giants’ Saturday night game against Detroit.Apparently the cooler was no worse for wear, and performed it’s duties admirably, because the Giants whomped the Tigers 15-3. Obviously the Gatorade cooler’s triumphant return to the dugout after a near fatal beating at the hands of the Giants closer buoyed the spirits of the San Francisco players so much that hey went out there and won one for their injured comrade.
Yeah, like that. Read more ›

VIDEO: Brian Wilson Blows Save, Thinks it’s the Gatorade Cooler’s Fault
Giants closer Brian Wilson blew a save last night against the Tigers, then took his frustrations out on the Gatorade cooler for some apparent reason. First he tosses it against the wall, then he takes a bat to it, all while in a white-hot, blind rage.
Is it just me, or did I see a little Happy Gilmore in Wilson’s form on that bat swing? Read more ›

One of Bryan Stow’s Suspected Attackers is in Police Custody
Last month Giants fan Bryan Stow was mercilessly beaten by a pair of unknown attackers outside Dodger Stadium following L.A.’s opening day win over San Fran. Stow, who was wearing a Giants jersey, was taunted, then jumped by two men who repeatedly kicked and punched the defenseless Stow as he lay on the ground, before fleeing in a waiting vehicle.Since the vicious beating, Stow has remained in a coma. Last week the 42-year-old opened his eyes for the first time, although doctors were quick to point out that his long-term recovery is still up in the air.
Reports have surfaced today that one man is in police custody following a SWAT team raid on an East Hollywood apartment building. Little is known of the suspect, except that as police marched out the occupants of the raided apartment, one person was seen with a bald head and neck and arm tattoos that resembled one of the alleged attackers in a police sketch.

Juan Uribe Sued by Former Landlord For $145,000 Worth of Fish-Fry Damage
I tell ya, sometimes these things just write themselves. All you need to know is right there in the headline—the man loves his fried fish, but sometimes too much of a good thing can get away from you and cause $145,000 worth of damage to your rented apartment.Then, when you skip out on the repair bill, your fish-loving ass gets sued.
Juan Uribe, now with the L.A. Dodgers, is being sued by the landlord of the condo he rented during his time in San Francisco, apparently because a late night fish-fry resulted in $145,000 worth of damages. According to the landlord, Uribe took responsibility for the damage, and promised to foot the bill, but when the time came to cough up the dough, the Dodgers infielder bailed.
