I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

But for some reason, I had to be at Wednesday's game -- maybe it was for closure? If so, I'm not sure I really got that.

Eric Surkamp did. No one knows exactly why (at least outside of the clubhouse). Bochy said on Tuesday that Cain had pitched a lot during the season and while he wasn't at risk for injury seemed to imply that the rest would do Matty good. Go figure. Perhaps the coaching staff thought it best to give Surkamp a decent start under his belt so he didn't have to relive that last, \u003ca href=\"http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gzRTXLhBThhqm2BhAKbnYN00c4xg?docId=bd2fcf28448e4783a8866139e1e48609\" target=\"_blank\">disastrous start against Arizona\u003c/a> all winter.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/09/15/giants-press-conference-11-a-m/\" target=\"_blank\">Bill Neukom\u003c/a> and Larry Baer did not get into fisticuffs.

Henderson/Getty Images\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When it comes down to it, I think I really wanted to hear Renel announce the team as \"Your World Champion, San Fran-cis-co Gi-ants\" one last time. I anticipated her saying it at April's home opener for months, and it did not disappoint. It's absurd, I know. Trying to hang on to something that happened almost over a year ago. But for some reason, I had to be at Wednesday's game -- maybe it was for closure? If so, I'm not sure I really got that. Here's what didn't happen at the Giants' last game of 2011:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/giants/2011/09/27/surkamp-to-replace-cain-in-season-finale-today/\" target=\"_blank\">Matt Cain didn't start\u003c/a>. Eric Surkamp did. No one knows exactly why (at least outside of the clubhouse). Bochy said on Tuesday that Cain had pitched a lot during the season and while he wasn't at risk for injury seemed to imply that the rest would do Matty good. Go figure. Perhaps the coaching staff thought it best to give Surkamp a decent start under his belt so he didn't have to relive that last, \u003ca href=\"http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gzRTXLhBThhqm2BhAKbnYN00c4xg?docId=bd2fcf28448e4783a8866139e1e48609\" target=\"_blank\">disastrous start against Arizona\u003c/a> all winter.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/09/15/giants-press-conference-11-a-m/\" target=\"_blank\">Bill Neukom\u003c/a> and Larry Baer did not get into fisticuffs. Actually, the Giants played a really touching video tribute to Neukom after the sixth inning, with the words \"Thank You Bill\" writ big and bold across the center-field score board. When the camera spanned to Neukom, he waved to the applauding crowd and reached one hand up to his eye, behind his sunglasses. Wiping a tear? Perhaps, but he seemed moved and so did we, especially when minutes later \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2011_09_28_colmlb_sfnmlb_1&mode=recap&c_id=sf#gid=2011_09_28_colmlb_sfnmlb_1&mode=video\" target=\"_blank\">Pat Burrell\u003c/a> was removed from what could quite possibly be \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110927&content_id=25290878¬ebook_id=25291762&vkey=notebook_sf&c_id=sf\" target=\"_blank\">his last major league start\u003c/a>. One nearby fan described the weight of the moment: \"I feel like I'm watching an episode of Lassie.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>I did not win an orange and black Toyota Tundra truck. Nor did I win a $500 Visa gift card, a night at Hotel Vitale, a Giants promotion pack containing all of the giveaways from the 2011 season, a bobblehead modeled after me and my closest friend or any of the other Fan Appreciation Day prizes.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Pablo Sandoval did not end his season with a sweet homerun. Neither did Andres Torres. Neither of them started, but they both entered the game to much fanfare.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The Giants did not find their groove. Granted I don't think the point of \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/giants/2011/09/28/lineup-and-bochy-on-seasons-end/\" target=\"_blank\">starting so many rookies\u003c/a> was to jump start the moribund season, but just the same it was an off-stride game in an off-stride year.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Buster Posey did not make an appearance, at least from what I could see. Buster, give us a sign. We're worried.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The Giants did not win the game, nor would they have clinched anything of significance if they had. At game's end, the team did not jump on top one another in a celebratory mass, screaming as fans cried and hugged one another. There will be no jumbo screen at Civic Center Plaza, no parade across the city. Just another also-ran season.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>I was not satisfied. My junior high basketball coach once told me that the last game of the season is never what you want it to be -- your shots don't sink, you'll argue with your teammates, etc. But that's okay. The season and the experience is the sum of its parts. The season was frustrating as hell (heck?), but still a thrill.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The Giants, at least, didn't pull a September swoon comparable to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/al/story/2011-09-28/red-sox-lose-playoffs-in-jeopardy/50595964/1\" target=\"_blank\">Red Sox\u003c/a>.

I had been a studio executive for a long time and I quit to make my own movies. When you're an executive, you have one boss, one buyer, and if that guy doesn't want to do your idea, you can't go anywhere else. So there were movies that I didn't get to make that I really wanted to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I quit and had a two-week vacation, and this book was one of the books I read during that time.

I felt that his predicament was extremely human and relatable. None of us on the filmmaking side has worked in baseball, but we all completely related to the predicament.

Why is that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Good screenwriting looks easy, but it is damn hard. I've worked on two kinds of movies over the years –- movies that are total auteur, like from [directors] Alexander Payne or Wes Anderson, and ones that are quote, \"within the system.\" A Wes Anderson story, for instance, always starts in Wes' brain. The types of films that are made from within the system, there are committees, and they usually doesn't have a filmmaker from Day 1. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I would often watch my father [playwright Israel Horovitz] get hired onto movies, and they were harder to write than movies or plays that started in his head, because there were other people who had a vote. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the reason that this particular book was difficult to adapt is because you want to somehow recreate the experience of reading the book, which goes in and out of time, explanation of \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabermetrics\">sabermetrics\u003c/a>, and a lot of the historical context. It was a harder script to get down than most. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Did you get to work with Billy Beane?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We worked with him throughout the process. The whole A's organization was supportive of getting the details right. As far as the facts of Billy's life, he was always available for us to ask questions. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why was \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2011/sep/20/sports/la-sp-plaschke-20110921\">Paul DePodesta's name and character changed\u003c/a>? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He opted to do that so we respectfully changed his name.

I never met him so I don't know first-hand.

It 's something I'm very aware of now, thinking how did I end up in the movie business. Being a parent, I just see the ways you influence your kids without being aware. Growing up in my house, it was all about movies and plays and that was the emphasis. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So do you have regrets that you wound up in the movie business?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If I could start over I'd go to medical school.

The types of films that are made from within the system, there are committees, and they usually doesn't have a filmmaker from Day 1. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I would often watch my father [playwright Israel Horovitz] get hired onto movies, and they were harder to write than movies or plays that started in his head, because there were other people who had a vote. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the reason that this particular book was difficult to adapt is because you want to somehow recreate the experience of reading the book, which goes in and out of time, explanation of \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabermetrics\">sabermetrics\u003c/a>, and a lot of the historical context. It was a harder script to get down than most. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Did you get to work with Billy Beane?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We worked with him throughout the process. The whole A's organization was supportive of getting the details right. As far as the facts of Billy's life, he was always available for us to ask questions. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why was \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2011/sep/20/sports/la-sp-plaschke-20110921\">Paul DePodesta's name and character changed\u003c/a>? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He opted to do that so we respectfully changed his name. I can't tell you exactly why; there's a \u003ca href=\"http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ti-depodestamoneyball080510\">nice interview with him online\u003c/a> where he talks about it. I never met him so I don't know first-hand. I think everybody should have the right to do that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did having an esteemed playwright for a father influence you? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Too much. It 's something I'm very aware of now, thinking how did I end up in the movie business. Being a parent, I just see the ways you influence your kids without being aware. Growing up in my house, it was all about movies and plays and that was the emphasis. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So do you have regrets that you wound up in the movie business?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If I could start over I'd go to medical school. But that's just being in your 40s. ..\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>You can watch \u003ca href=\"http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810166670/info\">clips from Moneyball\u003c/a> at Yahoo!

(Photo: SF Giants)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Giants made it official in a late-morning news conference today. In the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately department, Bill Neukom, the Giants' managing general partner who presided over the team's first World Championship since the New York days of 1954, is retiring. While Neukom eschewed even the hint of any \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/09/08/carol-bartz-yahoo-f-me-over/\">Carol Bartz-like\u003c/a> post-employment resentment, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/mark-purdy/ci_18895752\">\u003cstrong>Mercury News' report that he was forced out\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> by the other partners hung over today's announcement by Neukom and Larry Baer, who will take over the lead management role.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neukom started out graciously and remained that way throughout the event. \"There's a time to come to an organization and there's a time to leave,\" he said in his opening remarks. And he just wouldn't bite when asked, repeatedly, to divulge details of the reported conflict with the partners. The first question from the media: Were you forced out? His answer: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I don't think that's the right characterization...I came to the conclusion this was the right time to turn the reigns over. It's just an evolutionary process. I didn't have any fixed term in mind when I pushed other things aside..It seems to me it's come pretty much full cycle. I had accomplished what I set out to accomplish when I was asked to step in.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But here's some of what Mark Purdy \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/mark-purdy/ci_18895752\">reported in the Merc\u003c/a>, which broke the story yesterday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>It wasn't necessarily that Neukom authorized his baseball people to spend $22 million on a new contract for first baseman Aubrey Huff, or decided to add millions of dollars more to the payroll by trading for New York Mets outfielder Carlos Beltran in July. It was that the Executive Committee believed Neukom, as part of his fiduciary duties, should have consulted with them about his major decisions. Instead, the Executive Committee members were infuriated when they sometimes learned of Neukom's decisions through news reports.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp> \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baer, for his part, said it would be business-as-usual in terms of the team's operations.

It's just an evolutionary process. I didn't have any fixed term in mind when I pushed other things aside..It seems to me it's come pretty much full cycle.

It was that the Executive Committee believed Neukom, as part of his fiduciary duties, should have consulted with them about his major decisions. Instead, the Executive Committee members were infuriated when they sometimes learned of Neukom's decisions through news reports.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp> \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baer, for his part, said it would be business-as-usual in terms of the team's operations. Asked if he would now have to get sign-off from other owners on big moves, Baer said nothing would change, essentially, in the way the Giants have conducted operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
