Raiders-Related:
Jeff Garcia has agreed to a one-year contract and will join the Raiders next season, according to the Contra Costa Times and ESPN.
Although Garcia's worst season in the pros saw him post a better completion percentage than JaMarcus Russell's career-high percentage, the 39-year-old will fill the backup quarterback role.
A South Bay local who played high school football in Gilroy and college ball at San Jose State, Garcia did not take an NFL snap until the age of 29, yet has enjoyed some of his best seasons in the last 3 years.
49ers-Related:
The 49ers did not show much interest in Garcia, which is surprising since Damon Huard and Alex Smith are the only competition for Shaun Hill's starting spot.
A's-Related:
Oakland opens the 2009 season tonight at 6:00 in Anaheim. Dallas Braden will be on the hill for the visitors, facing Joe Saunders.
Are the Angels ready to replace K-Rod and Teixeira and remain at the top of the AL West? Will Matt Holliday make a huge impact on the A's offense? Either way, opening on the road – for 4 games, no less – against last year's division champs, no less – will make the home-opening series against the Mariners seem that much easier. Of course after that, there's Boston . . .
Giants-Related:
The Giants will have Tim The Franchise on the hill tomorrow as they take on the Brewers and Jeff Suppan.
Lincecum will look to fare much better than American League Cy Young Winner Cliff Lee, who was shelled by Texas for 7 ER on 10 hits in 5.0 Innings.
Somewhat Giants-Related:
Sabathia update #1:
CC lasted only 4 1/3 innings at Camden Yards, surrendering 6 ER on 8 hits. The Yankees cut the Oriole lead to 6-5 after Sabathia left trailing 6-1, but a 4-run bottom of the 8th by Baltimore put N.Y. in a big hole once more. C.C. took the loss.
Money Saved By Not Signing Sabathia (assuming C.C. makes 35 starts this season as he did in 2008): $657,142.86
Lincecum-meter: 1 Tim 
Teixeira update #1:
Mark finished 0-4 with a walk.
Money Saved By Not Signing Teixeira: $123,456.79
Manny Watch:
1-3, 1 BB, 1 SO, 1 Run, 2 LOB
Outfield Blunders on the Season: 0
Warriors-Related:
Golden State is off until Wednesday, when they face Minnesota.
Today, the Basketball Hall of Fame inducted the 2009 class, which included all-time legends David Robinson and John Stockton, and of course the greatest legend of them all, Michael Jordan.
Chris Mullen and Don Nelson were not among the inductees.
The college basketball season concludes tonight with UNC taking on Michigan State. No potential candidates for the Warriors' first round pick are participating.
Most mock drafts have the Warriors taking Brandon Jennings with the 7th overall pick.
Sharks-Related:
The Sharks beat the Ducks in Anaheim 3-2 on a Jonathan Cheechoo deflection to set a franchise record with their 52nd win of the season.
The race for the President's Trophy:
Sharks: 115 pts; 3 games remaining: vs. Colorado, vs. Phoenix, at L.A. Kings
Boston: 112 pts; 4 games remaining: at Ottawa, vs. Montreal, at Buffalo
Red Wings: 109 pts; 3 games remaining: at Buffalo, vs. Nashville, vs. Chicago
