It's the dog days of summer on The NOR CAL Report!
But we're barkin' up the right tree — as Giants top dog Barry Zito joins the dynamic duo for chat about all things baseball, musical, and more. Plus:

The Earthquakes shake things up by signing their first-ever "Beckham rule" player, the stellar Brazilian midfielder Geovanni. Could this move mean instant playoffs for the 'Quakes?

The Giants go from the brink of first place, to the brink of out of the race. There's still time, of course — but there's also room to debate the merits of bats like Jose Guillen...

The A's plug onward, riding a recipe of stellar pitching and flaccid batting to an even .500 result.  But where will it land them at year's end? If the A's go 25-16 for the final 41 games and the Rangers go 17-24, the A's win the West by one game does that mean a single offseason can make them a force again?

We're always a force to be reckoned with — on The NOR CAL Report!

UP NEXT: Football training camps heat up — and hoops lurks just around the corner, too. Plus, the Giants hit the crucial stretch drive, while the A's hope to sneak up on reigning Texas.

All the latest info, anecdotes and opinions from the Report's own Jess Zitrin.

Looking to catch up quick on the exploits of new 'Quake Geovanni? Ignore the cheese in this video, and focus on the amazing strikes to all corners of the net from this exciting player. (Not sure the nuances of the designated player rule? Check out all you need to know on its history, here ...)

This week's Report guest isn't the only Giants player with musical chops . Recent guest Aubrey Huff can belt out a tune. But don't take my word for it — you can hear both Zito and Huff yourself...

Meanwhile, Lex might have a point — critics say the Giants' new sluggers' gloves will cause as many runs as their bats will (ESPN login needed)...

Remember, this is your show, too — so let us know if you want more on Raiders preseason camp, the Warriors' personnel merry-go-round, or what! 'Til then, I'll just assume you love us to pieces as is.

And we you. Thanks for joining us again — on
The NOR CAL Report!
