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.

I’m extremely blessed to be recognized by @APSE_sportmedia for my high school sports reporting.

I wouldn’t be here without all my mentors and people who helped me get here (@DarrenSabedra @joseph_dycus @ThompsonScribe @SJI_Update @MitchBookLive and so many more).

[Michael Nowels @MikeNowels]

Nathan's passion for sports and sharing people's stories comes through in his work on game stories and features, at the high school level and in his work on the Valkyries. And then there's his tireless breaking news reporting!

Big congratulations to @nathancanilao!

[Darren Sabedra @DarrenSabedra]

CONGRATS to @nathancanilao. His excellence in HS beat reporting honored by @APSE_sportmedia with a Top 10 national honor in the A division. Well earned. First time, btw, that HS beat reporting is being recognized in the highest division.
