Posey did not hit a home run in tonight’s Giants slaughter at the hands of the Dodgers. He didn’t have an RBI either. Hey, I know homers and RBIs are old-style metrics and I’m a moron to refer to them. But Posey, the Giants’slugger,’ has two homers and [...] By Lowell Cohn | 2017-05-02T22:46:06-07:00 May 2nd, 2017 | 456 Comments Read More On Ageism I stirred things up lately suggesting Buster Posey is overrated. My opinion until he proves me wrong. I’m entitled to my opinion. You’re entitled to disagree, to call me uninformed or baseball ignorant or unappreciative of true greatness. That’s what this blog is all abouta give-and-take of passionate [...] By Lowell Cohn | 2017-05-02T11:01:22-07:00 May 2nd, 2017 | 2 Comments Read More Why Buster Posey Owes me a Thank you, Lowell Buster Posey owes me a thank you for getting him refocused on his job with my constructive and very pointed and well-deserved criticism. His job involves hitting home runs. He hit a homer in Game 1 vs. the Dodgers. I’m happy to have helped. Now he needs to make a [...] By Lowell Cohn | 2017-05-01T22:41:22-07:00 May 1st, 2017 | 1 Comment Read More Why Buster Posey is Overrated I say Buster Posey is overrated. I have been tweeting that and readers are sore at me. I can take it. Besides, I’m retired and life is grand. Is Posey an excellent hitter? Sure he is. Is Posey an excellent catcher? Sure he is. Is he a good guy? He [...] By Lowell Cohn | 2017-05-01T09:47:22-07:00 May 1st, 2017 | 8 Comments Read More Shout out to Larry Tabor Went to my dentist on Tuesday, the great Larry Tabor of Castro Valley. Got a cleaning from Victoria. Got the Good Tooth Go-Ahead. Larry is a dentist deluxe and he flies his own plane and once a month he flies to Mexico to provide free dental service. In Yiddish we’d [...] By Lowell Cohn | 2017-04-11T22:53:59-07:00 April 11th, 2017 | 0 Comments Read More ‘The Wolf,’ a great restaurant For a long time Baywolf was the best restaurant in Oakland. People were visiting from out of town, I took them to Baywolf. The people who owned Baywolf recently retired, and Rich and Rebekah Wood, who own the fabulous Wood Tavern on College Avenue, took over Baywolf and renamed it [...] By Lowell Cohn | 2017-04-03T09:51:40-07:00 April 3rd, 2017 | 2 Comments Read More In honor of Dwight Clark Hello, everyone.

Last season, he didn’t stand during the Anthem. Now it’s being reported he will stand next season. I’ll tell you why he’ll stand. He’s a free agent and he doesn’t want his kneeling to affect his job prospects with teams who might frown on what [...] By Lowell Cohn | 2017-03-02T11:24:47-08:00 March 2nd, 2017 | 19 Comments Read More Wine tasting with Lowell Being recently retired, I went wine tasting on Thursday with my great friend Mike Murray. I mean now a Thursday is as good as a Saturday. Usually, I taste in Dry Creek but for a change-up (baseball metaphor there), we went to Sonoma and tasted on the Square for starters.

The 9ers don’t need him, so good. Let him go. If he thinks he’ll get a starting job with another team, totally deluded. Somehow, he opted out of being a good quarterback a few [...] By Lowell Cohn | 2017-02-03T10:16:06-08:00 February 3rd, 2017 | 7 Comments Read More 1 2 3 Next Popular Recent Stephen Curry plays with pain May 13th, 2013 6 thoughts on the Warriors May 11th, 2013 Oakland A’s tell the big lie July 30th, 2015 Breaking news: Buster Posey May 2nd, 2017 On Ageism May 2nd, 2017 Why Buster Posey Owes me a Thank you, Lowell May 1st, 2017 About this blog Lowell Cohn, retired columnist for the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, covered sports for almost 40 years and never ran out of things to say.
